I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I still haven't maidened this bird... but I have a good reason. 😅 I decided to upgrade this bird's electronics and landing gear and fell down a looooong, deep rabbit hole. This plane is getting a Castle ESC with a Spektrum telemetry link and a Remoter ID module, so I will be able to get full motor telemetry and GPS speed measurements on my Radiomaster TX-16S. I've also I upgraded to an 8 channel Rx with SAFE so I could also get thrust reversing and pit the nose wheel on its own channel. The landing gear is a custom design. I have all the parts on-hand, but I haven't assembled and tested the prototypes yet. My goal is to have it in the air in Sept, though. I've got another video in the queue to show all the updates once their done. It will essentially be a Viper 2.0 when done.
Subbed! Nice unboxing Rod. How’d the maiden go? 😊, Mark
