Hobbyking viper jet manual

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

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. Product Registration Find a Retailer News. Where To Buy.

Based on my observations of fellow club members spending half the day working on their gear, I took a pass. Recently however, I have fallen in love with EDF jets and as my jets got bigger and bigger, my need for retractable gear has grown.

Actually the hobby has forced me into finally biting the bullet and using them. My first experience using traditional air-powered retracts with the necessary hardware and an air tank that needed to be pumped up, worked well but the onboard equipment took up a lot of room inside the model and the air lines and possible leaks was always a concern. The new trunions stand up nicely to the strain of rough flying fields conditions with models of higher wing loadings and electric ducted fan jets in general, always seem to fall into this category.

Replacing the main trunions is as simple as putting each main gear into a vice on its side and removing the screws that hold both sides together. You can then slip the Eflite trunion out and replace it with the Tam Jet one. The E-flite electric retracts come with a 3-way servo harness that allows you to attach together the two main gear and the nose wheel servo connectors so you the entire retract system operates from a single channel.

This eliminates the chances of the gear cycling unexpectedly should the switch be in the wrong position when you turn on your receiver.

Another nice feature of the nose wheel gear is the option to use either a tiller-arm or pull-pull method for steering. The tiller-arm can be mounted on either side if need be. The tiller-arm setup works nicely with my jet, and it provides a direct, slop-less link to the steering servo.

Each of the three retract units simply screw down into place on the model using four mounting holes. Quick and simple. To go the next step you can also add working gear-doors sequenced with the movement of retractable gear— way-cool and very easy!

This little unit can handle two separate doors so, in my case with the Viper, the two main gear doors on the fuselage count as one door. To do this I installed one servo to open both doors at the same time. The other door sequence is used for the nose gear door. The instructions so the breakdown for each mode, so it is pretty easy to get the sequences and time delays dialed in. First setup up your door throws using a regular servo tester or your radio, to get the linkage throws where you want them.

Mark or measure the position of the linkage in the open and in the closed position. Then retract your gear and disconnect your door linkages. This is important; otherwise you could break something when you plug in the sequencer. Now connect power to the sequencer without the servos, or gear. It should start in the F1 mode.

For my model with electric retracts F3 mode works best.
