Product Details

The E-flite Viper 64mm EDF is scaled down from the extremely popular 70mm and 90mm models to deliver a jet flying experience unlike any other model in its class. And like the full-scale ViperJet, it sports fighter-jet looks with the stability of a low-wing sport airplane so more pilots can enjoy flying a jet – even if it’s your first-ever EDF! It delivers excellent speed, vertical performance, and aerobatic capability while also being easier to hand launch or take off and land than other similar class models – especially the Bind-N-Fly Basic version that’s equipped with exclusive AS3X+ and SAFE Select technologies. And both versions feature a Spektrum Avian 70A Smart Lite ESC paired with a high-power outrunner motor and 11-blade 64mm fan to deliver amazing performance with 4S 2200–3200mAh batteries!

Skill Level 2 – Some Experience Required

Skill Level 2 aircraft, like this one, are suitable for RC pilots who already have some experience and the skills to assemble, set up, and fly similar class models. And although this Viper is easier to fly than the larger models, it's not a suitable first-ever RC aircraft for new pilots or first-ever EDF (Electric Ducted Fan) jet model for low-time RC pilots. You should have the experience and skills necessary to successfully fly simpler EDF models like the E-flite Habu SS (Super Sport) 50mm or 70mm, other similar jet models, or high-performance prop-driven models, before attempting to fly the Viper 64mm EDF.

Are you new to flying RC (Radio Controlled) aircraft? If you are, the Viper 64mm is not a suitable first-ever RC model and we recommend learning to fly with one of our purpose-built trainer aircraft such as the E-flite® Habu STS (Smart Trainer with SAFE) 70mm EDF (www.horizonhobby.cc/HabuSTSRTF). It's equipped with exclusive and innovative SAFE technology that makes it possible for almost anyone to learn to fly successfully! The Ready-To-Fly (RTF) Basic version includes almost everything needed to fly (except for a compatible LiPo battery and charger that are sold separately) and is a perfect choice if you're a new RC pilot.

Smart Technology

The exclusive Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC provides a variety of real-time power system-related telemetry data including overall battery voltage, current draw, motor RPM, and more – with Smart and non-Smart batteries – via compatible receivers (including the AR631) and Spektrum AirWare™ equipped transmitters (including the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/3 and 8 G2, the DX9, NX6 to 20, iX12 to 20 and others) while you fly. Plus, optional-use motor/thrust reversing can help shorten rollout after landing and offers other special ground handling capabilities (6–7+ channel transmitter required for reversing).

High Performance

The 11-blade 64mm fan, brushless outrunner motor and 70-amp ESC combine with your 4S 2200mAh 50+C to 3200mAh 30+C LiPo battery to deliver excellent vertical performance and a fantastic speed range with virtually instantaneous throttle response. But what makes the experience truly rewarding is the amazing sound produced by the power system—it's almost like a real turbine engine.

Gear Options

You can install the included fixed landing gear with shock absorbing, trailing-link struts and a steerable nose wheel – without the use of any tools – to taxi, take off from, and land on smooth and short grass surfaces. Or you can leave the landing gear off for more speed and vertical performance plus easy hand launches over and landings on longer grass while utilizing the molded-in finger grips and automatic Hand Launch Assist Mode.

Functional Flaps

The factory-installed flaps offer improved slow-flight capability and performance while also making it possible to take off and land in shorter distances and at slower speeds. This makes the Viper 64mm a perfect next jet model for those moving up from simpler EDF models.

Unmatched Capability

The Viper design offers incredible handling across a wide speed range and flight envelope. From slower-than-expected landings and low-speed passes to high-speed flybys, the airframe and power system combine to deliver unbelievable performance and aerobatic capability so you can perform giant loops, rolls, knife edge flight, snaps, tumbles, and other maneuvers almost effortlessly.

Durable Design

Construction with advanced EPS material delivers a lightweight yet durable airframe. In the unfortunate event you damage any airframe parts or components and can't repair them, a full line of replacement/spare parts is readily available.

Easy Assembly

No glue is required for assembly, and you can have the Viper ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery! Plus, it's factory-finished in an exclusive and unique, highly-visible trim scheme by Aircraft Studio Design.
