Congrats on the maiden! They are an awesome flying EDF! I just made the swap in my BH Viper from 12S SMC 6200 mA LiPo's to 14S 13500 mAh Li Ion packs. Tribunus II 200A ESC. Had to do some airframe mods but getting between 9 min to 11 min flight times with enough juice to go around again if needed. Really enjoying this jet!
Will man,I recommend SMC green packs 7600-8200 for 5-6 min flight time.i would not trust those turningy for a prop plane.that fan and motor draws 160 amps and needs good.packs.great job man 👊
Thanks brother. It was my fault on the packs I didn't check them before flight. It was a mistake that could've cost me a lot. I have 4 new HRB 6000s for it now. I plan to only use the pairs for the twin pack planes I fly.
Two down Will😊 that first set of packs almost didn't do the job😮 makes me debate to use new or used packs for a maiden 😊 the landing speed will get slower as the Nerves settle down😊
Yeah we didn't check the packs before flight. I was so focused on preventing motor and esc failure I forgot the most important thing. Checking my energy source. 😆 My 2nd flight I was a little more relaxed but you're correct the more flights the more comfortable I'll get. 👍🏾
Very nice first and second flight Will! And good camera work Bobby! BUT when I saw those Turnigys in your plane I though WOW, so much $$ and work on that plane and flying that batterys. For being honest I haven´t had any of those but I have seen the most pretty popped so I wouldn´t have trust in them. And checking them confirmed my thougts. But maybe one battery wasn´t charged or not fully charged? Also one could be older (?). HRB are a good option! :) I have confirmed it by myself with a friend too. Testing different brands. Good weight and proper performance! Also in that big Viper I would try 12S2P Molicel P45B giving you 9000mAh at the same weight as those Turnigy and maybe slighly less. Look at @EDFjetRC Wojtek flying LiIon with 2P or sometimes super light 1P :D Soon are coming also 5000 mAh cells from Molicel :D
Hey thanks and I have seen him flying the Lilon packs and he's getting 8 minutes of flight. I just purchased 4 HRB 6000s for the jet and plan to pair them so they will never mix up with any other packs. 2 packs will be marked as pair 1 and the other 2 as pair 2. They will always charge and discharge together.
@@rcpilotwill Hey Will! in my small experience HRBs are very good. I have compared them to known and unknown brands. A friend also. Doing thrust measurements and current. I wouldn´t be afraid of mixing those HRBs if they have the same age and similar usage. The internal resistance from factory may differ a bit too and you will not be emptying there until 3,3V or something similar I hoppe. I wish you good flights! I´m also stepping up on a second hand FW Avanti S V2 (I´ll try LiIons) and soon I´ll try to maiden my 90mm Viper from FMS. Thinking to buy the new 90mm Avanti from FMS but it´s pretty the same as the FMS one but smaller wheels and more weight. The color (golden style of Germany ) is cool and the vector nozzle. But I´m still a beginner with too much planes in the basement xD
Great flights Will, congratulations. Check out my flights on my turbine version. Truly a great plane! A slightly rearward CG will allow you to get a good flare, you've got to get the mains down first or she'll be down for repairs. Great job.
That's exactly how I felt I even let out a loud whoo after I started walking to get the jet. But the camera was off so I didn't get to put that in there. 😂
That is a beautiful EDF. Sounds great too. Congrats, I can see those 1st landing jitters were in full force. Good thing you didnt go around again like you were thinking. That battery bay looks like it could hold 2x10,000s easily.
Congrats Will, great looking jet! Keep up the great work.
@@robsrc2018 thanks
Nice work dude! Impressed with how far you've come - now you're flying the big boy jets!
Thanks Jon. I couldn't have got started without those days flying the Viper 70 at Suggs Park.

Wow that's amazing
Awesome Job Will. Congratulations on that Maiden. Beautiful Jet. Turnigy packs ??? Not sold on them yet. I think you got one bad pack. It happens
Thank you Bill. We believe one was not at full charge.
Now this is why I'm subscribed. This is wholesome content.
So happy to have your support. Thank you. 👍🏾
@@rcpilotwill Happy to see you doing great stuff. You are inspiring your people! Keep it up and don't let anybody tell you different! 💪🏿
Good flying Will. Can’t imagine how shaky I’d be. 👍 been waiting for this maiden
Oh man I was pretty nervous. I've never been that nervous even with my 1st edf. 😆
@@rcpilotwill it’s an oddly good feeling though, specifically after bringing it down in one piece… maybe 2 tops lol
Good flight, well done Check the internal resistance of those batteries.
Metal Gear solid sound. Lol cool idea

Smc garbage! Smoked 4 packs in a row on this same jet same packs you are recommending , 118 amps wot ! Smc equals crap
@@michaellussoro2295 you must mean the purple lihv SMC Packs.The Green label SMC regular lipos I'm pulling 160 amps and they come down barley warm.
Man I was shaking along with you Will. Fantastic flight my friend.
Thank you 😅
Great Job Will, looking like the pro that you are.
Thank you.😊 I have so much more to learn and so much more to grow in this hobby.
Congrats bro! Such a pretty plane! Trust me I know all about those Maiden jitters when you're maidening an awesome plane such as this one!
Thanks. Those jitters hit hard bro. 😅
That was excellent ! Good flying , happy to see it all worked out for you
Ironmover I appreciate you man.
That is one big bird. Way to fly it like a boss!
Thank you. I'm still learning it.
Hell yeah, Will awesome flight, brother. And one sexy bird. 💪
Man I appreciate it. 🤙🏾
Great job, I love mine. Throttle management and using your energy management should get you 4 min flights. I fly mine on Roaring top 6250s. Great job
Thank bud. I believe it's my new favorite now. 😆
looks great in that scheme
Really nice plane bro new to the channel love rc and rc aircraft just subscribed 👍🏿
Thank you and welcome to the channel 😀

Great Flight Will! You going to Fall Nall In October?
Thank you. I didn't make plans to go but all that can change.
i want one baaad. wish they made the green one in edf version
Congratulations!
Thank you.
@@rcpilotwill you bet! I'd be on cloud 9. Did you ever figure out the Lipo problem? Bad cell?
@flyboywbl cells looked good. Bobby and I believe that one pack was not charged.
@@rcpilotwill that'll do it. Have fun with it. Nice model
Congratulations 🎉
Thanks

Well the good news is it will release today.
Sendit, Will 😊 it’s Wayne8300 if y’all recall. Had to do something with the default name lol
Turnigys suck. Nice flight
😂 thanks buddy
