XF VIPER - Foamboard F-16 EDF

[Houndpup Rc]

Not sure! Fairly quick, but I usually fly at about 40% throttle, so definitely faster than I need!

I like to favor WOT throttle.....

Have you ever tried it with a 64mm?

No, but I have the 6s 70mm and it flies perfectly well with a 4s battery, so I think a 64mm at 6s ought to also be just fine.

hmmm. my edf can only run 4s...

The roll rate on the Viper is insane. You'd love it.

Lol that sounds perfect for a first jet. How hard are they too fly?

My ten year old son said that they were the perfect trainer jet. I agree, they're very docile. Also, they launch incredibly easy. A light toss at full throttle and they zoom upward without a bit of drop. I use 2x 2200mah 3s batteries in series and that’s pretty light, so that contributes.

really? I thought a fast roll rate would be tricky to fly.

Not necessarily, My Radjet has some insane roll rate, but it is incredibly smooth. (just remember to add expo)

So I actually think that the roll rate on this plane is fairly relaxed. However, I tend to have the roll rate on all my planes cranked way up. Since this uses tailerons, it doesn’t have as high of a roll rate as something with ailerons. The tailerons are closer together so they have less authority. I’ve considered adding ailerons to this for high roll rates, but flies very nicely as is.

I had a productive last two weekends. Two 125% scaled, 80mm EDF, 6S powered, ailerons added variants finished! They are capable of going vertical straight from launch. Now it's time for the paint booth. This is definitely one of my all-time favorites found on this site. Thanks again @Mid7night.

Those look great!

It was a beautiful night for flying.
