Excellent example of creating a mix to simplify everything down to one switch! 👍🏻😎
Thanks! It works well, and logical for me, but many will want to refine it to their taste.
Thx for all of your demo’s and builds. You do have an excellent videographer who adds compliments and I think she likes you, too.
Thanks Thomas!
I bought the 70mm viper a month ago to get ready for this one... And boy am I ready!! Haha
Good choice! You will love it!!! Just do keep an eye on the grass with that nose gear. It bends pretty easy....other than that, GREAT plane!
@@BrianPhillipsRC it's held up from a soccer field pretty well so far. I will say this about it. It does love to bounce. Every landing has bounced in some form or fashion
@@deandagner Try the FMS Avanti Gear, my buddy did the swap and it's vastly superior.
@@billshepard2908 will look into that, thanks for the heads up!
Never gets old great flying good knowledge ty
Awesome! Thanks!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC your welcome
That thing is insane! Thanks for another great video!
You're welcome, and thank you for watching Scott!
Brian that thrust reverse setup is genius!! I just maidened my Viper 90mm this morning using your setup and it was awesome!!! Thank you 🙏🏼
Thanks Alex! Not sure I can take the credit for the setup, but I'm so glad you were able to emulate and enjoy ;)
Thanks for the genius idea Brian. Just added a pilot fatigue switch with full thrust reverse to my Draco!
Be careful!!! Prop Planes with Pilot Fatigue Setting could lead to chopped off fingers!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Noted! Throttle cut is mandatory, as is ample caution!!
Man I love your videos! So much enthusiasm so much excitement and that’s exactly what these EDF Jets do!!! 😁🍻
Glad you like them! Thanks so much!
Hey Brian,
I appreciate the honest reviews, you tell and show the good, bad, and the ugly of these planes then let us make a choice for ourselves. Other channels are cutting videos and editing out the bad. My last three plane purchases have come as a result of your honest reviews. I loved your review and truthfulness of the EF 1.5 P-51 and the bad ground handling characteristics along with the dreadful bounce on hard surface landings. I know it Kept my from wasting coin on it. I’m currently awaiting my 90mm Viper can’t wait to fly it. I’m going to set your pilot fatigue setting on both my 80mm F-16 and my 90mm Viper. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Keep up the awesome job brother!
NICE!!! Good choices!!!
We've just filmed TWO more evenings of takeoff and landings over and over again - hope you'll check them out when we release them - This plane is so much amazing fun - YOU ARE GONNA LOVE IT!
I picked up the 70mm Viper a few weeks ago and love the plane. My flying field is not super smooth grass and already have had to make some landing gear repairs. That being said, the 90mm is a glorious plane, but for where I fly, it's probably a bit too much for the size of my flying field. Can't wait to stay tuned for more ...
I hope you decide to get the bigger one - it's so good!
The sound is so realistic !!
I love the sound too!
Awesome video, and the pilot fatigue setting is a really great idea for reducing workload on landing. I generally prefer scale version of real planes that exist, but E flite has a way of making some beautiful clean-sheet designs that just work for me! The Vipers, the Timbers, they just look like they should exist in real life.
I agree!
Wow !!! that 90mm sent it like it was on a catapult !
TRUE!!!
Pilot Fatigue is awesome!!!
I agree! I've been using the HECK out of it!
"You know how bad your but clenches when you do that radical manoeuvre"....lol 😂😂
It's pretty intense! ;)
Beautiful jet!!. They did a fantastic job in my opinion. I cant wait to get mine.. Great flights Brian!....Bet u cant "catch" this one!!! lol!!..
LOL - I bet you're right!!!
Get a radiomaster tx16s it’s a 4-in-1 multi protocol so you would be able to run all your dsmx bnf planes ✈️ plus a you’re xk Helis and more!
Thanks for another great video!
I kinda have that out there on my wishlist, but my contact doesn't seem to be very interested in sending it out???? Not sure why
Nice job B
Appreciate it
Looks amazing!!!!
it is ;)
Looks really fast and a whole Lotta fun, great Flyin Brian ….keep it up guys 👉🕺🧨
Thanks 👍
Love it, Love it, Love it - the Pilot Fatigue mode is absolutely great! Want to remember that trick going forward. I don't have the 80mm F-16 yet, but if they ever come out in a Thunderbird scheme, my credit card is taking another hit. My 90mm Viper was delivered yesterday after a 2 month wait. I've spent more time programming the radio than assembly. I have high hopes for this plane because I love the 70mm so much. One concern I have is I cannot get it to come close to balancing with a 5000 battery, It is way tail heavy with the 5000. It will balance neutral with a 6000 all the way forward. I'm going to have to see where you have the battery again.
I wonder why??? I had no issues with my CG (5Ah or 7Ah), but I also kinda WANT it a touch tail heavy, for flare.
Awesome plane, just be careful if HH screwed up and didn't get a counter weight in there - that could cause some issues....BUT I honestly don't remember even a peep of CG issues....
You will LOVE it. Flies like a DREAM!!!
I thought the G switch was a myth. I couldn’t find it on my ix12. Wendy showed me where it was located.
With that being said, I forgot I had programmed the Eflite a-10v2 for reverse thrust. (Really hadn’t needed it landing the little 64mm) But with the 90mm Viper I’m going “Hardcore Brian Phillips” with Reverse Thrust, Pilot Fatigue and all the mixing.
I may have to buy an Avian ESC for the Freewing 80mm a-10. It’s the biggest edf I got and with two 6s 6000’s I’d like to slow down quicker.
Wow this plane is awesome=) Good work on the sticks and camera crew. :-)
Thanks a lot!
Awesome
Thanks! This plane is awesome!
@@BrianPhillipsRC yeah really is. I love watching flying RC like helicopter and planes. I enjoy it maybe for more than 3 years now even in other youtuber 😅
ordering mine today
AWESOME!!! You will LOVE IT!
I am looking at the freewing f-22 64mm as a newbie plane. They land slow for a jet. I can see you purchased a few freewing and the quality looks top shelf.
I don't work with MotionRC - they told me NO. They were very nice about it, and I never mean to burn bridges, but they think an "in house" employee can bring honest reviews - LOL - sorry, motion, you need a guy who will show the Dynam side of that plane ;) LOL
Pilot Brian nice Flying super plane. Megan you are to Best Camera lady on UA-cam. Can’t believe you can keep Up with this Plane. Megan I think Pilot Brian needs to stop buying Plane and Buy you a Great Movie Camera to take his Videos to The Next Level. God Bless both of You and Family. PS Megan is Brian Going to build you a New House Without His Planes? Hehehehehe. Keep the Videos Coming Out Brian you Are right up there with my #1 pilots. 🇺🇸👍
Wow, thank you!
Amazing and professional video.Thanks for sharing your knowledge with everyone. The plane is beautiful and flies well. It has, however, a deficiency: the left wing stalls on landing. (it happened to me twice time). I saw online that it is possible to correct it by mixing the full flaps with the ailerons that go up togheter. In this way the stall moves from the tip to the center of the wing. They call it "Crow"...... I tried to do the mixing with my dx7s (I will soon replace with the NX8), but the ailerons 1 - do not go up in the same direction 2- move even with medium flaps while only full flaps should work. I hope you have an idea how to do it and will advise me. A friendly hug from Italy. (sorry for my english)
Nice flights Brian, you ought to do a head to head comparison with the Spektrum packs and the SMC V2 graphene packs, the SMC packs are premium batteries that perform better and give you more power overall in an edf jet or high current draw applications.
When Horizon is sending thousands in planes and Smart batteries and latest chargers. No way would he risk a battery comparison and anger the God's. The graphine is better for sure. He knows.
@@TheTerrypcurtin Agreed, but he also says that he's honest and truthful with his reviews, be it good or bad, but again why bite the hand that feeds you when you're getting product for free or at a highly discounted rate.
We'll review competitive batteries if they send them. I have no problem doing a head to head. Horizon Hobby knows we review competitive products, and even sends their Rx'es to use in these planes, upon MY request. We'll be reviewing some new batteries in the near future along side their already proven SMART packs. Who knows which will fare better, but I'm all about the best performance, and HH will just make theirs better if they get beat. This is why I told HH and others, when we first start working together, we will be honest. We try to be fair too. The really funny part is, no matter how transparent we try to be, there's always someone out there who assumes we're covering for someone. That's NOT how we operate! We need our audience MORE than we need HH or any other brand, for that matter. Don't get me wrong, we LOVE HH and all the brands and distributors that we work with, even when we don't love every item we review for them. My point is, you can come here and expect to get a healthy does of the Truth, even when it's messy.
P.S. You might notice, I can't help but take offense when our character is challenged.
@@BrianPhillipsRC personally as an avid rc enthusiast and previous reviewer of drone parts I was always looking for the best performing parts, batteries, etc whether they sent them to me or I purchased the product myself, that way I didn't limit my possibilities of performance gains and value by painting myself into the proverbial "I only review and compare products or companies that work with me or send me free stuff" corner.
I've done a lot of battery load comparison tests in the past on my channel which incorporated products sent to me, along with products I purchased myself which in turn gave all the vendors a fair shake and assessment, along with being objective and not subjective in my analysis just because a company worked with me or sent me free or highly discounted products. That is true character in my opinion, so if you're only testing and comparing things that are sent to you from companies that work with you, that is the definition of subjective reviewing and favoritism from those companies.
@@steelrainfpv3383 But with that said Horizon Hobby puts a lot of Technology & dependability and safety into there products.
Nice EDf I'm going to buy that one good review
Good choice! GREAT PLANE!
Fire is in canada, bad here in Wisconsin. Thanks Darren
Sorry to hear that - Fires always smoke up the sky around this time of year. I never mean to make light of suffering, but these fires do make for beautiful sunsets.
Very Good Video and love the Pilot Fatigue setting awesome idea. The Viper 90 is too much Plane for me at this point due to lack of Paved area / Paved runway near my location. I wished someone would do a grass ops video on the 90 Viper.👍😎🗽✨✨✨✨🎥🎬✔👌 Thanks for sharing.
Pilot Ryan did a “grass ops” on his channel. It works on grass, no problem.
He sure did. Grass is good ;)
My head is spinning now after watching this video lol 😆
I hope you can experience it in person!!!
On my transmitter I programmed reverse on a pushbutton only ("pilot fatigue"). I think I don`t need "controllable" on a switch because I can give small portions of reverse thrust with pushbutton only so I have enough of contol on the ground. IMO an extra switch for "controllable" is confusing and you have more risk employing reverse thrust while the plane is in the air.
That's a cool idea. I'm curious to hear how easy it is it hit the "I" button...I assume you used the "I" Button?
@@BrianPhillipsRC yes, I used it for the first flights and hit it accidentally but got control again, so my viper is still alive. That`s why I use a self-resetting switch for this function only.
I wonder if it’s possible to have both controllable reverse thrust and also an I button for the pilot’s fatigue. Is that even possible Brian?
I think you’ve developed the “Tail-Hook” switch…..🤔🤔🤔
LOL - COOL NAME ;)
ZOOM, ZOOM, ZOOM OUT THE BOOM-BOOM! *Install Big Red Strip Across The Front Of Wing Leading Edge & Full Strip Of RED LEDs Also! 🤣😎
I saw a video you would have enjoyed this morning ;)
You unbox, build, and fly videos are awesome and your commentary always keeps me watching! One question… can you ask HH why they announced this new viper, take pre orders (I did mine on launch day 6/10) and am still waiting for it to ship???? I get it’s Covid and there is shipping issues but those are well known. It just disappoints us HH guys to preorder and it takes months to receive. Why not just release when they have a good ship and receive date? I get you these new releases first to get the word out… but geez!!!!
I agree and YES, covid delays and shortages are a HUGE factor on most of these planes. It's so frustrating!!!
If Horizon Hobby could fix it, they would ABSOLUTELY do everything in their power (and they are) to get these planes to you ASAP!!!
Freakin awesome.
It is pretty sweet!
It’s 11th grade calculus all over again. Pilot fatigue didn’t work, so I have to watch that section of the video again. (Beats repeating 11th grade calculus again. My mom taught calculus and trig at another high school, so you can imagine the berating I took. Hopefully you won’t yell as loud and as much and call me stupid. Or tell me there was a mixup at Labor & Delivery and I belonged to a stupid couple, but they were so stupid they got lost on the way to our house. Parenting can be cruel sometimes)
LOL - Pilot Fatigue is worth working through ;)
Got it. For the ix12 I needed 100 vs -100 on how I set it up.
In either event G switch up “controlable forward throttle”, middle = “controllable reverse” all the way down = “pilot fatigue/100% full reverse”.
Just had to watch the video on Pilot Fatigue 4 times
Man that thing is awesome It's a bit above my flying skills but maybe one day lol I think I'll try the Habu first before trying to tackle this beast lol I love that you explain the seat up process and all the extra tips you throw in It would take me forever to figure all that out I'd really love it if you could do a video on programming the AeroScout so it's not so slow on the throttle response I know you have a lot going on right now but maybe when the weather is bad and you can't film outside you could slide it in lol Nice flying Brian Awesome bird Great job as always Camera Crew you are a trooper my wife would say I ain't no damn tripod you better get a damn selfie stick or something 😂 I'm not kidding 😂🤣✌️
For sure, the Habu would be a great stater! I'm lucky Megan's helping me!!!
Once again great video
You mentioned using/going to a NX-10.
If you had a IX-20 would you use it, or due to the nature of the hobby and you channel being user/ beginner friendly, the IX-20 is out beginner/ most users price range. The way you explain everything in such detail, is so awesome. Myself and other I'm sure would like your expertise in using a IX-20. I've learned so much from your channel. Thank you and camera crew so very much for all your hard work and dedication
I totally agree, and fear that I might get WAY too much into the weeds (Like I don't already - LOL) when I get even the IX12 ;) (I think that's next for me - 20 is just a bit out of reach right now)
@@BrianPhillipsRC well who knows maybe a IX-12 will show up one day or even a IX-20
God blessed you with a great mind Brian, great stuff! Could this be done on a DX9?
Should be no problem! Make sure you're firmware is up to date, and you're off to the races!!!
If you could only have one edf jet…. which one?
Which is the best edf jet as far as a robust landing gear for grass and rougher grass landings? love your videos.
I don't do well with "one plane" type questions, I love too many...but this plane is one of my best EDF jets, and if I were operating from a grass strip, it would be one of the best choices I have.
If you liked horizon's 70mm viper you would absolutely love my horizon 80mm viper. Knife edges, snap rolls etc. It is an absolute beast. It's what should have been released originally. I have ordered the 90mm. Hope it fly's as well or better.
I'm confused...was there an 80mm??? I wasn't aware of it...or is it a discontinued plane now??
@@BrianPhillipsRC It was a modification that I made myself. It made the plane that was something fun to fly into an absolute beast. I mean like a super plane. The only mods I had to do was I used the 80mm from the fms bae hawk and a 100 amp esc.
I am a fatigued pilot, actually 80 year old pilot (same thing). I put my throttle reverse for my Cirrus on the
I button, then mixed the button (NX 10) with the throttle so that pushing the button gives me 100% throttle, regardless of the actual throttle position. This way I can just land the plane normally and not have to hit a switch AND the throttle. Make sense?
Yes, this is another way that people do it, and nothing wrong with doing what works for you!
Reverse thrust is NICE to have, especially if you're landing in a tight spot.
Never have heard, how long do the engines last?
EDF's? I don't have any issues, but I assume they're more likely to be crashed. It's just a brushless motor, but the fan's DO get damaged if they suck a rock in....that's happened to me a few times before ;(
How long did it take for this vid to upload Brian?
Not sure....Starlink is WAY better than what we had before - Viasat.
This plane looks strikingly similar to Taft hobby 90mm Viper just with different electronics.
Sure is!
Will it do 6s 4000? You think you can get 3 min flight time with 4000? Thanks again for the videos man. Loved it
We'll give it a try too, but not 100% sure. I bet 3minutes would be okay...it's a LOT lighter too, so that is a factor.
As for the 5000mah, we had QUITE a lot of life left in it, and we generally try NOT to push the limits on a maiden, or early flight with EDF jets, since I've lost them before due to bad decisions. The margins are so much tighter, so you can get that one more go around...
@@BrianPhillipsRC ya would love see how it does on 4000mah 👍🙂
What happened with that black spot on the driveway
I melt foam into poor mans asphalt... the county wouldn't let me pour the concrete there, so we seal over the rock to keep it making a mess on the driveway....every freaking delivery guy thinks they have to take the turn at 150 MPH, and the rock was always kicking up on the driveway.
That thing is insane. It will be a long time until I fly anything like that. Any suggestions on a first EDF other than the Habu, or is that pretty much the best choice? If they made it a BNF I would buy it hands down.
The Habu ought to be a BNF offering if you ask me...
The F-15 is also a great beginner-ISH EDF.
F15 bit.ly/30RrnlG
I agree. Maybe one day it will. I will look at your review of the F-15. That may be one to consider. I certainly won’t start with the small er brother of this one. That is way too much jet for a beginner from what I can see.
Arrows Marlin or Viper... hard to beat.
Brian, thanks for the switch tip. Do you also have another switch just for toggling the thrust reverse? I mean, how do you switch to reverse where you control it with the throttle stick?
Thanks
This is a three position switch...keep watching, we'll show how we did it ;)
I just added this for a friend on his Habu SS last night on his DX8, and it makes a HUGE difference in rollout!
@@BrianPhillipsRC thanks Brian! Got it!! Love it
Hey Brian,
How about another tractor video.
Coming soon ;)
Hi Brian, I have some e-flight Jets with Spectrum ESC and Spektrum iX20 radio. Trust reverse works great at all. BUT for now I want the 90mm EDF VIPER fly with another radio make (CORE from Powerbox-Systems). DO YOU KNOW if it is possible to use the trust reverse feature also with another radio like Spektrum???
Which plane do you enjoy better between this one and Carbon Z Cub?
Hummmm...great question!
I think the Viper is more easily transported, but requires a good runway, while the Carbon Z Cub SS 2.m1 is good almost anywhere you can fit it ;)
Carbon Z Cub SS bit.ly/30P5mUA
Viper bit.ly/3eLqcMX
I'd say, they're both different enough to be a tough comparison, so my usual BOTH answer applies here pretty well ;)
Hi Brian I go a new jet f 15 eagle but I have a battery that is 4s 3200 mab 50c and could I yous it in the plane
Are you asking is you can fly THIS Viper on the 4S 3200mAh 50c? OR will the F-15 64mm work with it?
@@BrianPhillipsRC sorry f 15 eagle
Please correct me if I’m wrong. The air intake on this plane is a true intake trunking? There is no auxiliary intake louvers like some? If so, that is a big plus for scale looks.
True, except for a couple small intakes to cool the battery. Very cool, and GREAT point!
Hi, I have a question that a super expert like you might help me to answer.
I have an eFlite Turbo Timber Evolution, and a NX6.
I would like to buy a Viper 90 and wondering if it is possible to use my NX6 to fly it and use both Safe/Select/AS3X selection and reverser with my NX6.
Viper instructions say we can couple Flaps and SafeSelect in order to have Flaps Down Safe ON, Flaps Half Safe ON, Flaps Up, Safe OFF and AS3X ON.
I tried this on my TTE but I can only have Flaps Down Safe ON, Flaps Half Safe OFF, Flaps Up, Safe OFF, as I see there is a threshold value of 88 to have Safe Select ON, therefore Flaps Half (Zero value) triggers a SafeSelect OFF.
HorizonHobby explained that this is not working with my TTE as it will only work with the Viper due to different flaps mechanics.
As this looks to me an electronic issue, have you the chance to crosscheck this?! Thanks a lot!!
Hi, I'm trying to setup a viper 90mm with thrust reverse using a first gen dx9 spektrum transmitter and the viper 90mm has a AR637TA receiver with 130a Avian ESC. I used the spektrum smart programmer and changed brake type to reverse, brake force to 7, thrust Rev CH7(default) on ESC, as I'm not using safe on the Viper (Ch 7) the default channel for Safe and I saved, data ok. On my TX I went into system setup, channel Assign and changed channel 7 Aux2 to button I and in digital switch setup for switch I , there is a 100% -100%. All travel is 100% in servo setup, I'm using a mix in Mix 1- AX2 - Thr, rate 0% and -100, offset 100%, switch is set to I button, I calibrated TX to Avian ESC 130A as per manual instructions. Still no Thrust Reverse when I hold the I button, motor continuously goes forward no thrust reverse, I tried reprogramming ESC over and over, no success. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong, thanks.
Only thing I'm not seeing in your notes would be that you have to make the switch conditions go -100 for forward, and +100 for reverse, or swap, if I'm backward. It's not a tough thing to change, but should be able to do it with your Tx, as I understand it.
If that's NOT it, have you tried just choosing a higher channel, like 9?
@BrianPhillipsRC hi, switch condition does goes from 100 to -100 in digital switch setup, I also changed ftom Ch7, CH8 and CH9 in channel Assign and on the ESC to match, still no Thrust Reverse been trying many months on my spear time. I tried everything from your videos to others and still can't get motor to Thrust reverse.
Way to complicated for some of us intermediate flyers on setting up the reverse function. Any way of getting printed instructions on the final setting up procedure for Gen 2 transmitters? I have a DX-9. Also there were no Closed Captions to try to follow along.
Many thanks
CC might be delayed since it was just uploaded???
As for the final setup, we cover it at the end VERY end in the dark ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC I’m begging you for a printed step by step instructions. I am a 77 year old, handicapped veteran, with sone brain related problems that make it difficult to interpret visual input but if I can see it in print, it makes sense. I can only fly planes with SAFE or SAFE Select as I have tremors and twitches that SAFE smooths out. I’m willing to donate money to a cause of your choice. I have a new in box Turbo Timber Evolution waiting to be assembled. Thank you for your valuable time.
How did you reset timer midflight?
Same as if you're on the ground...just hit that top left button next to the screen (Like Joseph Wade said) when you want to clear it back, and since I have a "One Time" or "One Out" timer setup, it'll start counting down immediately. This was kind of a big mistake though...it's caused many-a-planes to crash, so make sure you clear your timer before you take off ;)
Can we set up “pilot fatigue” mix on the Draco? Can you provide more detail how you would set it up? I have NX8 with thrust reverse set on switch A. I currently have combined all control surfaces High/Medium/Low rates to one switch so I obviously have open switches to program pilot fatigue. New to mixes.
You can do it EXACTLY the way we did it on this plane, with the DRACO, but that's a PROP plane...way more dangerous than the EDF here, so be super cautious.
$125 more for Safe and AS3X ? It's like $30 on the 70mm fan. Do you know why?
Minor misunderstanding Terry...
90mm Viper comes in BNF (Bind and Fly) or ARF+ (Almost Ready to Fly PLUS)
70mm Viper comes in BNF (Bind and Fly) or PNF (Plug and Fly)
ARF+ is the plane with ONLY the EDF Fan and Motor...no servos, no receiver...
PNF is just like the BNF, less the Receiver.
Brian what is your favorite EDF?
80mm F-16 Falcon - Right now
@@BrianPhillipsRC I’m putting together the SU-30 right now and watching your video. This thing is massive. It has the upgraded FMS 70mm Platinum fans. Maiden tomorrow weather permitting. Depending on how this goes this might be my new fav. Lol
Beautiful area. What state are you in? My guess, Ohio?
Iowa
I had to update my RX and ESC before the ESC programming came up (this was on another plane). So just a note for your viewers.
On what plane? F18 80mm??? Some of the OLDER ones don't have this in the firmware.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Carbon Cub, which came with Smart ESC/RX. But that ESC programming function didn't appear in my radio (IX20) until I updated the firmware. So I guess HH shipped my CC with non-updated ESC/RX. I found out about the firmware updating only after researching the issue in RCGroups.
Hey Brian,
Any recommendations for an EDF for use on a grass landing strip? Have broken the nose gear on my SU-30 a couple of times even after modifications.
This would be pretty good, but any grass strip is gonna offer challenges. This plane is lighter on it's feet.
Awesome video!!!!! I’ll have to get one of these eventually!!!! But I think my butt would be clenching 10/10 hahaha Do you keep all of these planes? And if so where the heck to do you put them? Haha
If it clenches too hard, you might need a Chiropractor to break your butt cheeks free!!!! LOL
hey Brian first let me say i love all your video an I have learned alot..I followed your thrust reversing video for the 90mm viper....for some reason when I switch to full pilot fatigue....I'm not getting 100% reverse thrust...and I can still control it with the throttle stick as if the switch is in the middle position...what am I doing wrong.....thanks
Hummm....not sure why. Do you need to CALIBRATE your ESC???? This might do it, or you still have a setting set to 0%, in stead of -100% or +100%
@@BrianPhillipsRC ok thanks I will try the esc calibration I thought that I did that already but maybe I got the beeps wrong when doing it
Omg. Can we do this to the dx9?
Should be able to make this all work, but I don't have a DX9 to test it with, but shouldn't be a big deal. If you can't access the Avian ESC programming menu on your DX9, then you can try updating firmware on your Tx, then if still not, then get an Avian ESC programmer too, which can help you activate the Thrust Reversing, then just make a mix like we did...

Do you mind telling me what battery you are flying on?
7000mAh 6S (@ 1:15 I mention it in passing)... 7000 6S bit.ly/3PtmZRK , but you could also use the 5000 6S bit.ly/3PukVJf
Thank you.
One more question do you think there is any major performance difference between the 7000 and the 5000?
Brian: can you provide a library of files for your excellent transmitter model profiles? I have an NX 10 and the stock profiles are blah. I would even pay to for the profiles.
Me too I want to set up the reverse function and find it hard to follow along
Watch the last 1 minute, you'll see the whole mix. You guys gotta remember, we're doing this stuff LIVE. It's not like I figure it out, then film the video. We have a rough idea, of course, then we film it. We want to show you not just WHAT, but HOW to figure out what we figure out...
We're trying to teach you to replicate this on your own...not just copy it.
did they just hike the price up $50 out of the blue?! I could swear it was $549 now it is $599!!!!!
Probably. There was a price hike coming.
Brian, is this the best jet you have flown? Or does another hold that title?
It's one of the best. The 80mm F-16 Falcon is my favorite. The 80mm Futura is probably a close second for EDF Jets, but this is the best all around, and it's also one of the most expensive planes too, so it stands to reason it's very good!
@@BrianPhillipsRC nice! Ya looks killer. That 80mm f16 is awesome looking, it must be great if its your favorite. I have the 70mm thunderbird f16 and its my favorite, in my hangar. Thanks for the imput😎💯👍
so you're able to do dead stick landing?
I'm sorry if I was unclear, but I didn't do a dead stick landing on this plane...other planes ;) I'm sorry for the confusion my comments may have caused.
@@BrianPhillipsRC LOL OK it glided in so slow, it looked like a dead stick landing, it was my assumption
Hey Brian, I’ve had the 70mm viper for a while and it’s fantastic in the air but struggles on landings because it always wants to bounce/porpoise. Does the 90mm have the same tendency?
Not really, but I guess I don't have that problem on the 70...not that I grease them in every time, I'd say she's very well behaved. If the wheels are too HARD, you could swap them out for pneumatic or LOW BOUNCE tires?
Scare the heck out of that car.....he he How long do the engines last? I never have heard.
You mean how long did the battery last?
@@BrianPhillipsRC No the engines
@@timbacchus They come with a life of the engine warranty... just like a light bulb.
Love it I want one brother when are you going to send me one
hilarious ;)
I hope i can win the cheapest RC plane 😅
What are you talking about?
@@BrianPhillipsRC no sir. I always watch your videos and hoping soon you'll have some give away so i always waiting for it and i will join hoping to win some. Since i can't afford to buy some. 😅
Seems to fast as a first EDF but a missclick happens so easy...
It's fast, but very east to fly compared to some others ;)
