Review Notes for this Arrows Viper EDF Jet:
Pros:
- Looks great
- Plastic nose cone for durability
- Grips for easy hand tossing
- Fantastic value price, check links in the description!
- Powerful 50mm EDF unit
- Three plastic skids on the bottom
- It handles very similarly to the E-flite Viper Jet
- Designed for 3S packs so you can get a lot of packs for hours of fun without breaking the bank.
Cons:
- I prefer all screws to any glue, but it wasn’t bad overall.
This is how Hobbyzone describes this fun little Viper 50mm EDF PNP:
"Simple is beautiful. Without any landing gear to deal with, the Arrows RC 50mm Viper is lightweight and streamlined-perfect for those with a tight flying field or budget!
To minimize drag, increase flight time and guarantee the Viper's precision flight characteristics, Arrows RC designed a rigid single-piece wing structure and horizontal stabilizer. The lightweight airframe and esceptional aerodyncamics give the Arrows RC 50mm Viper excellent low speed handling and flight time uncharacteristic for small EDF jets of its size.
Power comes courtesy of a 50mm 11 blade fan unit, 2627-4500kV brushless motor and a high performance 30A ESA (with 3A BEC) giving unparalleled speed and sound.
How do you get pinnacle performance on a small budget? Let Arrows RC work its magic with the 50mm Viper!

Specifications:
- Wingspan: 773.5mm (30.5in)
- Length: 696mm (27.4in)
- CG (Center of Gravity):60-70mm from leading edge
- Power System: 2627-4500kV
- Electronic Speed Control: 30A

It and my BAe Hawk really are awesome RC Planes! I just need to get my T-33 flight ready to rock with that one too 👊🏻💥👊🏻
Tim is a beast on the sticks. Fast just ain't fast enough for this ACE. Excellent job Tim. GB. Top quality as usual 👍👍😎👊🤟🏼
Thanks Roy!
Thank you Roy! We need to fly together again very soon! And I mean before the baby gets here soon lol
Arrows makes some great little 50mm jets. I also have a QT Models 50mmm Viper and it's a bit smaller but ut's pretty quick on 3S.
Fun and thanks for the info! Arrows certainly does make the best flying hand launch jets IMO 👊🏻💥👊🏻
Hard to beat in the 50mm range. Well done Team GB.
Thanks Mike SSI!
That is a fact Mike! I hope you are well my friend and expect some more videos soon 👊🏻💥👊🏻
Thank you brother.
Thank you Bro! 👊🏻💥👊🏻
This looks really fun. What a little ripper.
It is a little ripper for sure!! Thanks Philip Bender.
Thanks Phillip! It is really fun on just 3S, but on 4S.....WOW!!! Thank you for stopping by and for commenting 👊🏻💥👊🏻
Tim get flying. On 4s makes it another NO BLINK plane. GB this Old Man from Washington NC enjoying with my coffee ☕ 2am. Awesome video. Say hi to Darci for me. ✈️🧔💝💝
Thanks John Hill!
Thank you John and she says hi back my friend! 👊🏻💥👊🏻
What a lil ripper!!!👊👍😁
Thanks Just Enough RC!!
That is a very good way to put it! 👊🏻💥👊🏻
fun little jet!!! very nice!
Thank you!
Thank you Che’! I hope you are well brother 👊🏻💥👊🏻
That thing is sooo much fun!! Sorry GB for flying so crazy!🤣
Great Stuff, looking forward to more Crazy!
Excellent Display Tim, Thanks.
Psyching to get out an Fly watching dis awesome Sheeeeeeeee!!
It was awesomely epic Tim, just like the rest of that evening! We need to hit the Log Show again soon and get John out there too 👊🏻💥👊🏻
We will do our best soon Jono! 👊🏻💥👊🏻
holy cow its Tim!!! nice flying man!!
@@craigpeterson3886 Yes it's me. I fly often with GB. Having a blast flying planes! Take care Craig Peterson!
MJ found a new set of lugs, they're called AirViper...size 4s50!!!
Great flight Tim 👍. Did anything get a little too warm??
AirHammer out!!
No temp problems at all. I have probably 4 hours of 4s time on this plane now with zero issues. Thanks Airhammer!
@@timjoostens8887 on my T-33 the battery gets a little warm, but only barely. I'm pretty sure, if I remember right, the esc for the Viper is literally in the middle of the air tunnel so it would never get warm.
I wonder how it will hold up in the summer flying like that. Either way, it might just be worth the risk 👊🏻💥👊🏻
Tim did great and you too Ryan... Finally got to see it again in action. Wow, flew great on 4S power. I can't see the hurt unless you stayed in it full throttle. On a side note, Pop's B-day party was great this evening. Tell the gang I said hello...
Hey Brad! I knew you would get a kick out of this video lol I am really glad your Dad had a great party too 👊🏻⚡️👊🏻
blistering fast sweet flying tim👍✌
Thanks Fur Ball!
Thank you for watching and commenting Fur Ball! 👊🏻💥👊🏻
Hey GB! Nice Tim, rippin up the sky with the Arrows Viper! Great passes and maneuvers! Nice camera work despite Tim trying to lose you lol! Two thumbs up, one for each of you!
Thanks Fred Baron RC!!
Hahaha thanks Fred! The jet’s speed combined with the low hanging sun made for a wild ride of sorts on the camera lol 👊🏻💥👊🏻
Cool ! 😎
Thanks!
Thank you Christian! 👊🏻💥👊🏻
Nice hand launch and flight Tim, great camera work GB!
Thanks RC Aviation!
Thank you very much brother! 👊🏻💥👊🏻
Unreal!
Can't believe I haven't totalled Mine yet.
Dude knows how to split Our Air Supply with Gusto.
You Beauty GB,,, BAAAAMMM!!!
Thanks Jono!
It really is unreal Jono and BAM!!!!! 👊🏻💥👊🏻
dang quick ! nice flight...
Thanks JCB!
It truly was inspiring! I am so excited to have the other two 50mm’s and possibly the new F-86 soon too! 👊🏻💥👊🏻
GB is videoing in 3S while Tim is Flying in 4S.😂 Nice flying Tim, that thing really rips on 4S.👍
Thanks CHKSIX! I was not making it easy on him. 🤣
@@timjoostens8887 90mph in this is like 150 in a 90mm Viper...
Facts Six! Facts!!! 👊🏻💥👊🏻
Good stuff GB!!! 👍🤓😀
Thank you AirHammer! 👊🏻💥👊🏻
These 50mm planes are just a hoot on 4S. I dont know about the voided warranty, because the esc says its rated for 2-4S and the motor should be fine at that rate. My T-33 is excellent on 4S after dozens of flights and has an identical power system. Its not too hard to swap in a bigger esc if it worries you though. However if you ever have to replace the EDF you are fuc*ed because its glued in hard.
Thank you brother! I appreciate the detailed info and can’t wait to have my T-33 and BAe Hawk out at the field with a big pile of packs with my friends! One of these days, we’ll have to fly together 👊🏻💥👊🏻
I kept telling you it liked 4s
Ahahahaa!
Ive nearly had it fly off forever on 3.
Howdy Champ, Your Channel has so much good stuff thanks.
Roachcoach, it loves 4s!!!
You were 100% right Roach! 👊🏻💥👊🏻
4s will usually void an impeller, too! Lol
8hrs of flight time so far and no issues.
Yep, 4S is a risk for sure, but Tim’s has handled it perfectly so far! I will be trying it on all of my 50mm’s eventually. Thanks for commenting 👊🏻💥👊🏻
@@GBLynden The Freewing 3s 64mm jet motors/edf housings may not be built as well as whatever is in the Arrows ones. I blew the fan apart from the hub pushing 4s on that setup. I switched to a gws fan and haven't had an issue since.
Glad you're enjoying the new way to fly it!
Oh dang! Yep, I let other people try 4S before I would consider it. Now the weather needs to get better so I can try it lol
👍
Thank you Darko!!! I hope all is well my friend 👊🏻💥👊🏻
@@GBLynden Thanks! 👍👊
yeah - "normal craziness" of this sad time ..
not much of RC these days (while "something" 14m long and 5-6 tons in weight can land at will - and we were "bombed" by "drone regulations" - ha ..)
meanwhile - while Vlad-dolf is playing with his toys - I am re-learning X plane simulator and "fiddlin" with a violin that cousin sent as a joke ..
my cat Djuro doesn't seem to have too many objections - the rest of the family - not very "satisfied" - we will get there - no worries.. 😉
Oh man!!! I hope you are safe and having fun otherwise 😎
Stock ESC with the 4S? Has it held up so far?
Yep! It and my BAe Hawk fly great bone stock on 4S. Frankly, it is hard to go back to 3S after rocking them in 4S. I hope that helps 👊🏻💥👊🏻
Have you ever had to deal with Karen's when flying at parks?
Yes sir! Depending on the situation and what I am doing determines my reaction. If I am flying far away from her, cars, and other people, I will stand my ground 👊🏻💥👊🏻
what size battery?, stock esc and motor? Any problem getting the CG right?
Sorry I was impatient. I see you answered these questions in the last 30 seconds of the video
Old Harbor Video, I have some 4s 1600mAh packs I fly it on now. Gets the cg better. At that time I only had the 2200's and it was nose heavy.
Thank you for answering him and all of the other Tim! Old Harbor, you are always welcome to ask questions on my videos. Comments help my videos and I truly like to engage with my audience 👊🏻💥👊🏻
@@timjoostens8887 thanks. I have 1800's. Looks little now heavy but workable.
@@timjoostens8887 Been having a blast on 3S. Can barely wait til next weekend to try 4S.
What size 4s did you use ?
It can vary, but 1300’s are the best for me.
