E-flite Viper 1.1m SAFE Select BNF Basic

AS3X™ stabilization

The Spektrum receiver is equipped with AS3X technology, which helps stabilize the model in flight. The receiver contains a three-axis MEMS gyro and accelerometer and thanks to electronic stabilization simplifies driving the model , e.g. in windy weather. The model reacts similarly to a much larger model and its flight is calm without maintaining its full controllability. AS3X brings more confidence in driving.

SAFE Select™ technology for beginners

Thanks to the SAFE Select technology used, the model can be driven even by a less experienced pilot . The SAFE system prevents oversteer when cornering and also limits climbs and descents. Simply releasing the controller's control sticks will return the model to level flight. These functions will be especially appreciated by novice pilots who are not yet fully confident in driving the models.

As the name SAFE Select itself suggests, this is an optional feature - it's up to you whether you want to use or disable SAFE technology. The pairing method determines whether the SAFE function should be turned on or off. It is also possible to turn off or turn on the SAFE function and the flight mode using a free channel of the transmitter.

Advantages of the SAFE Select™ function:

• 
  
• It limits the maximum tilts of the model and thus prevents the model from going into a corkscrew.
  
• Automatically puts the model into horizontal flight when the transmitter control sticks are released
  
• Using a free channel, the SAFE system can be turned off or on during flight.
  

Advantages of the Bind-N-Fly® version

Do you own a Spektrum™ aerial transmitter? Bind-N-Fly® (BNF®) airplanes are ready to fly quickly, easy to set up, pair with the transmitter and start enjoying a great flight. They have a built-in motor with governor, servos and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver, so all you have to do is pair the receiver with a compatible transmitter, complete the final assembly and fly!

Exclusive technology

The Viper features exclusive Spektrum™ AS3X® and SAFE® Select technologies. AS3X works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence to give a locked-in feel that makes you feel like you're flying in a much larger aircraft. Optional use of SAFE Select offers pitch and roll limits along with automatic self-leveling that can be turned on and off with the flip of a switch! And if you don't want to activate the SAFE Select features, simply pair the receiver in the normal way and only the AS3X will be active.

SMART technology

The Viper Jet EDF 1.1m RC model airplane is equipped with a Spektrum Avian controller, which can provide a variety of real-time telemetry data, such as motor speed, current, battery voltage. With compatible Spektrum RC transmitters equipped with Spektrum AirWare™ (including DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/3 and 8 G2, DX9, NX6, 8 and 10, iX12, iX14 , iX20 and others), you can see this data on the transmitter display. The regulator also supports motor reversal.

Powerful blower

The 12-blade rotor of the 70mm blower, combined with the high-speed AC motor, 85A regulator and optional 6S 3200-4000mAh LiPol battery, has a very high thrust, therefore the model has an incredible speed range with practically instant throttle response. But what immediately catches everyone's attention is the amazing sound made by the blower - almost like a real turbine.

Functional flaps

The Viper Jet EDF model has flaps installed that will effectively reduce the flight speed during takeoff and landing. You can also make spectacular low passes at minimal speeds.

Retractable chassis

It wouldn't be a proper ride if it didn't have a retractable undercarriage! The model has a 3-wheel electrically retractable landing gear with a steerable bow leg already installed from the factory, which is an excellent choice for the model. The wide track of the wheels gives it high stability during taxiing and impeccable controllability not only during take-off but especially during landing.

Strong and light

The model is completely made in molds of solid and rigid EPO foam, which is strongly reinforced in important places. As a whole, the structure stands out for its very low weight and high rigidity, which is a basic prerequisite for an otherwise energy-intensive jet.

Unrivaled capabilities

The Viper Jet EDF 1.1m has almost unlimited vertical performance and aerobatic abilities, which also stand out thanks to a very elegant design. The speed range of the model is huge, from minimum on flaps to maximum at full throttle. In order to take advantage of these advantages, it is necessary to use high-quality LiPol batteries that can withstand a high current load. Batteries are not included in the package.

Recommended Spektrum transmitters

To pair the BNF version model, we recommend modern SPEKTRUM programmable transmitters:

• 
  
• 6-channel DX Spektrum DX6e DSMX series transmitter with telemetry, 250 models in memory .
  
• 6-channel transmitter of the NX Spektrum NX6 DSMX series with the latest trends, Smart Technology compatibility, USB port and WiFi connectivity .
  
• 8-channel transmitter of the NX Spektrum NX8 DSMX series with the latest trends, Smart Technology compatibility, USB port and WiFi connectivity .
  

Recommended batteries

We recommend a 6-cell (22.2V) LiPol drive battery to power the model.

• 
  
• For regular flying LiPo battery Spektrum Smart LiPo 22.2V 3200mAh 30C IC5 with Smart technology.
  
• For greater performance, the Spektrum Smart G2 LiPo 22.2V 3200mAh 50C IC5 battery with Smart G2 technology
  
• For maximum performance and flight time LiPo battery Spektrum Smart G2 LiPo 22.2V 4000mAh 50C IC5 with Smart G2 technology
  

Spektrum batteries with Smart technology currently represent the most modern and safest way to maintain and charge batteries. The benefits of Spektrum Smart technology can be found here.

Recommended chargers for conventional and Smart batteries

If you decide to use modern Smart LiPo batteries in RC model airplanes, then we recommend the following chargers:

• 
  
• Network charger Spektrum S1100AC with one output 1x 100W .
  
• Network charger Spektrum S1400 with one output 1x 400W .
  
• Network charger Spektrum S2200 with two outputs 2x 200W .
  

Accessories for normal operation

For the normal operation of flying RC models, you need suitable adhesives, a set of tools and a storage case for LiPol batteries. From our assortment, we recommend a quality set of 1.5/2.0/2.5/3.0mm allen screwdrivers and Modelcraft Phillips screwdrivers (set of 6). Modelcraft mini pliers in a case (set) will surely come in handy for assembly and Modelcraft cutting knife with A6 pad for cutting.

For quick repair of model airplanes, we recommend the fast-curing 4-minute Epoxy glue. From our offer, we recommend Speed Epoxy 4 min. 71g

Protective covers for accumulators

Protective packaging is intended to limit the risk associated with the transport and charging of accumulators. LiPo accumulators, while maintaining small dimensions and low weight, can provide high discharge currents and have a large capacity. The LiPo battery is particularly susceptible to mechanical damage and therefore needs to be thoroughly protected.
