As someone with older and heavily used shoulders I appreciate the ability to fly a responsive wing while also allowing me to stow the toggles and relax a bit.
HI, im 300h PPG pilot I have just switched from 20m Hadron 3 to 18 m Viper 5XC . Viper is very good fast stable EASY to lunch easier than my 2 previous Dudek wings( Nucleon3,Hadron3) big + for that but , Hadron is more Agile turns easier because it have longer lines . Hadron 3 is better in turbulent air takes bumps like nothing compare Viper i feel EVERYTHING don't like that . A lines are blue and D's are red on Viper 5 xc - it was other way around on all my previous wings . Roller trimers on Viper are dangerous in my opinion they realise too easy too fast its too easy accidentally drop 1 side and go sharp turn . Generally I like Viper 5 for the speed and easy lunch in nil wind but i Love Hadron 3 for agility and feel of safety in turbulent air it gives me . 2 good wings but Viper 5 have to be compared to WARP 2 to be fair
Hi I am a new paramotor pilot and I’m looking to get a viper xc I weigh 50kg and the paramotor I will get weighs 20kg and I was looking to get the 22m one can I get your thoughts on is it to overkill for my weight
Nice Video Do you have wny informations about fuel consumption ir rpm needed in level flight with your set up? I am searching for my next xc wing and i am not able to test every wing with out driving hundreds off Kilometers.
I do not off the top of my head, but I will say I’ve owned a bunch of xc wings and the viper xc is hard to beat. I’ve liked it so much I’ve had two of them!
Thank you for your advise. I think i will try to geta Viperxc 18m³ and a Hadron 3 18m³ to Test. I Upgrade from a Dudek Universal 1.1 25.5m³ with 100+ hours before this season. The Universal ist very inefficent!
so hold on... you launch to have fun testing a new wing and instead of driving to work like a normal person you just fly in and start the training with students? living the life eh trev? please never forget that this is something 99% of all people can only dream about. really cool to try out new toys and then land straight at the work place
Great pilot skills, but - to my unliking - this flirting with the powerlines at around 4:20 looked not good. I mean _ordinary pilots_ which is a majority of, and the beginners could get a wrong message. They say: "150 hours - is not much, I probably fly more a year", when, in fact, most of us hardly fly above 60 hours a year.
But why ozone makes such ugly riseres + the tooggles . I flew this wing yesterday. If someone likes to fly long flights, this wing is for him. It is not as agile as hadron 3 and is quite hard on the brakes. But it has plenty of speed.
@@MahaBali7975 It all depends on what you can do as a beginner, but I think this is a great wing, maybe not the first one, but definitely the next one.
Just opened mine!

cant wait for the brake video!
Viper XC goes HARD 🧡🤝🫡
thanks Trevor 👌
What are the pros/cons vs Dudek Hadron 3?

a video flying in wind would be great! I have yet to figure out how to enjoy mine in the wind.

Would you recommend this to a 100+ hour pilot that wants decent speed but more so efficient flying in typical conditions?
Yes I would

@@Ethriean both great options!
I've been flying the Viper XC since 60 hours, why do you say pilots should wait until 150 hours?
It’s a blanket statement because all pilots are different. Some 50 hour pilots should fly it and some 150 hour pilots shouldn’t fly it.
Did you fly on Piper?
Yes I’ve flown and owned a Piper
So, size for size how does it compare to the sirroco 3?
Faster, more efficient, more energy, and more maneuverable.
Why is your recommendation set at 150 hours or more of flying?
It’s a pretty demanding wing and the pilot needs to be experienced with advanced wings
@TrevorSteele1 if it is so stable, like being on auto pilot. Then, it should be for beginners
@@philipdiggs8465 Not when it only takes 2"of brake pull to yank it over compared to 10-12" on a B wing.
Has anyone tried the Everest thunderbolt!

How about awak 3 its not good ?????
Awak 3 is good at only one thing - playing.
It’s not a great wing besides that.

$4600? Jesus have wing prices increased over the years. Doubled in 10 years.
Yep
Thank Uncle Joe.

Is it safer for beginners, any collapses?
@@MahaBali7975 It all depends on what you can do as a beginner, but I think this is a great wing, maybe not the first one, but definitely the next one.
forgiving? you describe it like its EN-A glider.
How so? A wing can be forgiving in certain situations and not be a EN-A glider.
@@SMarti018 Exactly, this wing doesnt want to kill you like the freeride 2 and viper lol.
My question is this vs the free ride. Either one of the other is a choice for my next wing 🪽
Two different wings designed for two different things. What type of flying do you favor? Acro or CX
