Sorry you lost her Gary! It's very tough losing a good plane, and I wish you luck in the recovery, but in the moment, still a very tough loss... for what it's worth, when I have a bad crash, I always try to fly another (cheaper and easier) plane to help me get my legs back under me - you know it's such a mental game... This helps me to deal with the loss. As for the stall that happened here, I've done the same thing on final with my 70mm...the bottom just slipped out from under me on a very tight base leg in...but I was low and fairly slow so it was "fixable". Dude, you can fix it....not the battery, but the plane for sure! I would.
Caught this video the day you posted it but wanted to tune back in. You rock Gary, for being so truthful with your videos. We know there are more RUclipsrs out there that hide things than show them, and for that reason you'll always have our support! Keep up the awesome, family friendly content 365 baby!!! 👍😁😎⚓
Let’s go Eflite/ Horizon Hobby this guy is always show casing and talking highly about your planes help him out with a new 90 mm viper Your awesome grampa Gary keep as a person and for the hobby KEEP FLYING
Thank you for sharing the bad with the good. I have the Viper 70mm and I never would have known about the Viper stalling issue without videos like this being shared. You've shared your lesson learned despite that feeling after a crash that we're all familiar with. The times that it happened to me, I didn't want to talk to anyone. Lol! But you bit the bullet and shared it. Lesson learned on how important it is to keep the throttle up during banking and making sure the CG is back where it needs to be. Thanks again Gary and I'm glad it didn't stop you!
I have a 70 and I think it may be even worse than the 90 in that department. Logic would dictate that it fly the same as the larger 90 mm, but I don't believe it does!
Man, I feel your pain, my heart goes out to you, always difficult to accept when it's such a nice plane. As you said though, part of the hobby. Fly,crash, repair and repeat. All the best wishes from the UK.
I'm so so sorry Gary for your loss. There are no words adequate enough to express the emotion of crashing a good plane. I just crashed my new Viper 70mm too. Men, I am so sorry bro. Hopefully, you have rebuilt or bought another one.
Keep your chin up. Can not even describe how many times I have crashed a gorgeous aircraft. Almost keeps me from taking new ones out but then there are the times when you get in the air and have a wonderful day and come back in one piece. That is what puts a huge grin on your face. 😃
Hi Gary I just seen this video I sorry to see this happen, I now what your going thru 2 mths ago 3 new planes in one day P-47 1.2 mm the Futura and a t-28 we found out the trouble was with the radio losing programing to the receivers it hurts, specially when it the ones you like the most as you said it's not if but when it happens still not a good feeling. Gary you and your family have a great Thanksgiving I know this video is 2 years old later buddy 👍👍
Gary it was my pleasure to meet you today at Wing Masters for the swap and fly event. I was so sorry to see your plane catch on fire at our field. A bit surprised to see you posted a video (live) near your home and really sorry that the new beautiful Eflight 90 mm viper crashed. It really hurts to see crashes and I should know as I have lots of my own. Please keep on flying and posting your videos. Jack from Wing Masters Dayton Ohio/ come visit us anytime.
I just picked up a Viper 70 a few weeks ago. I like the jet a lot but it has its issues. The nose retract is still a problem, although the landing gear is beefier than the first edition. The wing cracking above the main retract housing also still happens. As I was about to maiden it, I was told by several salty old guys at the field to watch the tip stalls. Many of them instructed me to be at 75% throttle or more in and out of turns, or whenever the wings are perpendicular to the ground for more than a couple of seconds. When you were coming around the corner so slowly I could feel it was going to stall. Overall, it's a nice jet, but it's not $350 nice IMO. Sorry about the crash. I know how much it hurts. Been there many times.
Going low and slow is ok, going slow in a turn, is usually a big no-no. In real aviation, a mistake like this is often fatal, in this case it may hurt to see this happen, but at least you live to fly another day. Take care and clear skies!
Spot-on RC-fan NL, the skill level is a notch up with EDF jets, especially with flat wings, if it's anything like full-size, which I can tell you it is... Most planes will lose 60% lift on a tight turn, most of my students if it be RC or full-size don't like to practise stalling (two mistakes high) but they have a higher success rate, The other day I was too low over the hedge with my e-flite viper...oooops🤣 happy flying everybody 😁
If I had the money, I would buy you another one. How good you kept your composure after what happened. I know I wouldn't of. But as you said, it's part of the hobby. Been praying for you every day with what happened to your back 🙏🙏 Looking forward to tomorrow's video
Hey. While we hate to see this, and man more than once said I was hanging it up after a crash. I’m only three years in, but seeing the more experienced guys had bad days help. And I agree, it sucks but man there is so much more. I got into this after my wife passed away and this community has helped get through some tough days. It’s more than toy airplanes for some of us.
Oh man. Ouch!!! I hate seeing that happen. I am sooooo Sorry buddy. Hope you are doing well at repair. Sometimes they even fly better after gluing. Good luck gramp
Ouch! That really hurt but in the end, it was just an RC airplane and crashes are part of being part of the hobby. You have a great attitude and all I can say is "Just keep Flying".
Yeah Gary, about the best thing to do on days like this is to think about and then thank God for all your blessings. I know that you know that in the big scheme of things this is small potatoes compared to so many bigger trials and tribulations - but it still hurts some and that can be understood. Ps. I've been much better at landing in trees than I have been at crash landings. 😢😊
I sent My brand new Hurricane through the head of a gumtree a few months back, it was snowing foam. Crashing is even worse when You have no idea what caused it. Beauty Bill.
Hate to see this Gary. I feel your pain losing two in one day. Especially two nice ones like that. You handle it very well and I’m looking forward to seeing you get back up in the air.
Sorry to see that Gary. I did that same exact thing with my Habo on the Maiden flight. First time flying a plane…. Put it back together with glue and toothpicks, and got her back up in the air, she’s not pretty anymore but now I’m not afraid to crash it again. Great videos, love watching them and seeing all your planes.
I've had one too many Viper wing drops so now I never piss it off when at quarter to a third throttle. They'll slow down for sure. But not as forgiving a stall as an F15
Brian says you stalled but you said all the electronics were melted. what was it? Also it seems something electronic went horribly wrong so is there some sort of diagnostic tool you can use in preflight to chase those errors down prior to taking to the air? Seems the more costly the plane the more you need those diagnostic tools.
The Viper crashed because of a stall. What made it worse was the battery was super heavy (7000 mah) and caused the plane to nose down. I had another airplane that I crashed earlier in the day that was a large gas powered aerobatic style plane. This plane had a special power distribution board that shorted internally during the flight. The gas and the lipo batteries didn't mix too well once the plane struck the Earth. 🔥
Sorry taht happened GG. I learned about Viper stall characteristics with the Arrows 50mm Viper. Maiden my Fms Blue Angels Viper this week and it went great.
My heart is with you, I know this unpleasant sensation well. I hope that you can recover as many parts as possible to be able to rebuild this beautiful bird...
I just recently crashed my viper 90mm whilst pratting around on my "last flight for the day". Got too cocky and put the jet in silly conditions that made it awkward for it to recover from. Only once u crash u realise what the hell was I doing?! Gutted as it was a total loss including the smart lipo. Reused the fan and esc in my F22 and got myslef a replacement viper and maidened it today. Love that jet! Each crash is from being silly and I wise up a tad after each one too. Keep up the good effort 👍🏾 Mark 🇬🇧
Hi Gary, i crashed my brand new pitts v2 , was so distraught it was my best looking plane, however with some glue and apoxy she is ready to be flown again, it sucks crashing, but guess its all part of the hobby, Have a great festive period and keep safe.
Man that sucked...sorry for the loss...it hurts to lose a great flying plane when you just start to get comfortable. It's all part of the hobby, you're gonna crash and it's not always your fault. Columbus, Ohio here pulling for you in Marysville!
When I crashed my first RC plane, an older modeller said to me "There are only two types of RC plane, those that have crashed and those that are going to crash!" Bad luck and better luck next time :)
Sorry to see it bite the dust Gary but tomorrow is another day He hasn't given you the muscle memory to fly for no reason God bless you and yours & keep calm and fly on !
Brutal day. I admire your composure. I must say, I never thought you would get that Arrows Viper back in the air after the light pole incident. I wouldn’t be surprised if I saw this jet back in the air soon.
Ahahahahaha! I skipped out on GB's live stream this arvo, perfect tide to glide an totalled My Brewster an battery exactly the same way You did in Your Beautiful new Toy. Tip stalled with the wind. An like Yours in didn't look like it was that bad till I got on the scene! I just survived cancer an there is nothing better than busting back into life. All the best Gary, good health to You Mate!
Gary, that is so sad. I was watching your flights with this plane and you seemed to fly it low and slow, but you have to keep speed up with these planes. Rough break, you’ll get it next time!
My God Gary, I'm very sorry about what happened, but remember that we are with you in those moments that are so difficult and that they are part of this hobby ....
Gary, dude, my heart breaks for you! Looks like damage was mostly to the fuse though, it totally sucks it looks like your battery got pretty mangled. As we all say...if you're not crashing, you're not flying! Hang in there buddy!
Same thing happen to me on habu , I got to slow in a turn . From there on power always in a turn on a jet . I can guarantee you’ll never do that again as I join you and know the feeling . Blessings Glad your feeling better Keep you in prayers 🙏🙌💥
Can you make another video with the 7000 mah or do you mind telling me if there is any difference in the performance of the viper on a 7000 or a 5000 mah battery please.
Hey Gary that frikin sucks! Been flying for awhile and just did the same thing with my Avanti. Get that ARF + and get back on that horse. Like you said, it’s a blessing any of us can even do this considering life and all. Looking forward to more great flights!
@@IJustGotHere oh man that was fast she looked so good going slow then dropped like a stone SMH. Almost seems like she got that lil throttle delay the Draco got, prob to safe guard the reverse thrust thing but those fractions of a second can save ya sometimes. thnx for sharing man
Man Gary that was hard to watch I’m sorry that it happened. Glad to see you still smiling at the end though please keep the great videos coming. We’re those batteries 30c and would you recommend the 7000 over the 5000. Thanks
I crashed my Carbon Cub last week. It's pretty depressing. I got frustrated and ordered a brand new one. But I've decided to fix it before just build a new one.
I had about 3 they went in full power. I could cut power and had no control on any surface, do you have any idea ? Fail safe was set to low power but that didn't happen .................
Sorry Gary. Looked like the 7000 was just a little to heavy for the slow turn. Or perhaps it shifted. I have had planes that crashed like that and I got glued them back together and had plenty of flights.
@@IJustGotHere my Freewing F-105 rolled over in a turn and dropped out of sight. I feel your pain. I have a 70mm Yak-130 I am afraid to fly since most of my planes are little Flite Test foamies.
You’ll not forget to put in power into & thru base leg/final approach turn. We’ve all done it .. your turn cross wind, and into the wind needs more airspeed. Slow flight downwind is a no no.
I watch a few times flyng that slow in a turn can stall or something else have happen look like u had power in that turn or did u power back that will stall it if u did power turn off.
According to the space I have to store aircrafts, I can only own 2 at a time, so whenever one crashes... I understand your pain. All the best for your next flights!
So sorry about that. I feel for you. I'm just a beginner and i couldn't even tell what happened. It wasn't much. Not enough speed going into the corner and it tip stalled. I was flying my cheap little plane the other day and i put it into expert mode and it instantly just fell out of the air. I don't know how you guys fly so good with out safe. But you seem like a great guy and I'm pretty sure people will help you out and you will have another one. I subscribed but not to see you crash. Just keep on flying!!
Thanks Eddie! I have parts ordered. They were showing in stock so hopefully I'll have them yet this week. I would love to fly this again by the weekend.
I’m sorry for your loss. But man you was kinda asking for it. The viper stalls aggressively on low speed when it drops a wing. And going slow and turning close to the ground is asking for trouble unfortunately. 😢
Just watched this. Looks to be a year old or more. Those that dare to fly will have mishaps. Those that don’t fly, well they have a stable of hangar queens. You fly a lot and things happen. That is an awesome jet and I would love to hear a follow up to this event.
Sorry to see that Gary. It was a bit of deja vu for me though. My maiden of the 90mm Viper was Saturday, and…same result! I have plenty of experience with warbirds and jets, but this stall just snuck up on me. In my case, a new fuse and right wing is what I needed, so it’s ordered. Looks like you might just need a fuse yourself. Best of luck to you!
Sorry to see this! I have that jet and she’s very expensive and a beautiful plane! I hope you are able to fix her. Maybe a new fuselage and she should be back in no time!! Best wishes!
I don’t understand what happened. Did you not give it enough power and the wing stalled? I thought having the flaps down provided more lift. Sorry about the gasser. Some days just are bad. Looking forward to tomorrow’s flight to see how you reset. I crash and reset watching Grandpa Gary.
full flaps and gear are a sure way to have a tip stall.Real aircraft don't use landing flaps until they are on the final approach,not on downwind or base leg,as that is asking for trouble,and many piloys found out the hard way that isn't good.Full flaps cause more drag than lift!
At least nobody was hurt. I lost a Citabria like that, high speed or accelerated stall, I just missed some guys working on a plane by the flightline. It happens and your loss will prevent someone else from doing the same thing. Just order a new fuselage and make it fly again.
Just remember, sir if you’re gonna fly a jet, it needs to be at speed. if you want to slow it down and see when it’s gonna actually stall you need to be like 3 to 4 mistakes high. Good luck 👍🏼
Gary sorry that happened I know that's not a cheap airplane I have my little learner pioneer 320 ready to fly one I haven't taken out of the box yet I'm just waiting to get a nice still day and a big open field so I may have the same results as you had possibly be well God bless be happy 😊

Spot-on RC-fan NL, the skill level is a notch up with EDF jets, especially with flat wings, if it's anything like full-size, which I can tell you it is...

The other day I was too low over the hedge with my e-flite viper...oooops🤣 happy flying everybody 😁
Biggest killer in G.A.... turn to final when pilot overshoots runway centerline. Tip stall to fatal spin. Every GA pilot needs to lean to fly RC.
sorry too see that ! hope it can be repaired...that 7000mah seems like it'd be awful heavy for slow speed...just wondering...
One for the newbies... You get roughly 60% less lift, flying EDF jet's, in a tight turn. flying slow is ok but power up on the turns 😜

Darn Gary, when I was down from crashes by buddies would always tell me that nobody got hurt, you can replace or repair planes, cheers, Jeff in LA USA
When I crashed my first RC plane, an older modeller said to me "There are only two types of RC plane, those that have crashed and those that are going to crash!" Bad luck and better luck next time :)
Thanks Paul! Probably one of my most favorite RC saying of all time. 😀✈👍
Sorry to see it bite the dust
Gary but tomorrow is another day
He hasn't given you the muscle memory to fly for no reason
God bless you and yours
& keep calm and fly on !
Was that a tip stall from the low speed or something else?
Speed
I am very sorry you lost that nice plane Gary. All the best from Switzerland!
It was an easy repair. It flies just like new again.
@@IJustGotHere Super!!! Happy!!!!
Brutal day. I admire your composure. I must say, I never thought you would get that Arrows Viper back in the air after the light pole incident. I wouldn’t be surprised if I saw this jet back in the air soon.
For sure. I loved this plane pretty quickly. I have parts ordered.
Oh no..... Dude, I almost shed a tear for you! Brutal.
That's why I love my safe select switch some people call it a different switch
oh my god 😳 Is it because you turned the roll too much and put the pitch up in a reversed state? Or did you lose your lift?
Ahahahahaha!
I skipped out on GB's live stream this arvo, perfect tide to glide an totalled My Brewster an battery exactly the same way You did in Your Beautiful new Toy. Tip stalled with the wind. An like Yours in didn't look like it was that bad till I got on the scene!

All the best Gary, good health to You Mate!
Sorry Gary your a great pilot, it happens to all of us, chin up brother, keep flying we all enjoy it.
did you get to use the wing and tail group?
Yep
Really feel for you, I never like to see this happen but the positives do outweigh the negatives with this hobby, otherwise we’d all be giving up!
Agreed 👍
Gary, that is so sad. I was watching your flights with this plane and you seemed to fly it low and slow, but you have to keep speed up with these planes. Rough break, you’ll get it next time!
I wrecked my Habu yesterday. It was flying fine then hit a light pole. I think I can fix it though.
I always learn from something you say or do. Thank you Gary!

Two winters ago I landed one plane hot and ran it into another I had on the ground . Boy was I disappointed! I feel your pain!
Sorry about the crash hope your day gets better
Same thing happen to me on habu , I got to slow in a turn . From there on power always in a turn on a jet .
I can guarantee you’ll never do that again as I join you and know the feeling .
Blessings Glad your feeling better

Can you make another video with the 7000 mah or do you mind telling me if there is any difference in the performance of the viper on a 7000 or a 5000 mah battery please.
Well, I never bought another 7000 mah. It was ruined and to expensive with almost no benefit. 👍
Thank you for the help.
Just one more question did u notice any different in maneuverability in the 7000 vs 5000 battery?
@@theultragamingbros6072 during flight no. But I do think it caused the stall.
Oh because of the weight of the battery?
Sorry for your losses, did the same stall with my new fw 190.
Hey Gary that frikin sucks! Been flying for awhile and just did the same thing with my Avanti. Get that ARF + and get back on that horse. Like you said, it’s a blessing any of us can even do this considering life and all. Looking forward to more great flights!
dang man, was that a stall you think?
for sure
@@IJustGotHere oh man that was fast she looked so good going slow then dropped like a stone SMH. Almost seems like she got that lil throttle delay the Draco got, prob to safe guard the reverse thrust thing but those fractions of a second can save ya sometimes. thnx for sharing man
Man Gary that was hard to watch I’m sorry that it happened. Glad to see you still smiling at the end though please keep the great videos coming. We’re those batteries 30c and would you recommend the 7000 over the 5000. Thanks
Well I think the 7000 was fine but I know for sure the 5000 was great.
I crashed my Carbon Cub last week. It's pretty depressing. I got frustrated and ordered a brand new one. But I've decided to fix it before just build a new one.
I had about 3 they went in full power. I could cut power and had no control on any surface, do you have any idea ? Fail safe was set to low power but that didn't happen .................
Sorry, I'm not sure. Maybe if I was there I'd know more.
@@IJustGotHere I am hopping some one may have a suggestion out here that might help that's all
I'm watching and screamed "No!". So sorry Gary, keep the faith!
Sorry Gary. Looked like the 7000 was just a little to heavy for the slow turn. Or perhaps it shifted. I have had planes that crashed like that and I got glued them back together and had plenty of flights.
I think all of us here can feel your pain. Here is hoping tomorrow is a far better day for you, sir.
WOO!!! That gotta hurt!!, crashed my Flighline F7F Tigercat the same way
Did you lose orientation? I could barely see the plane in the picture.
Stalled and was nose heavy. Too low to recover.
@@IJustGotHere my Freewing F-105 rolled over in a turn and dropped out of sight. I feel your pain. I have a 70mm Yak-130 I am afraid to fly since most of my planes are little Flite Test foamies.
On a plus side. You have parts to get a arf plane
You’ll not forget to put in power into & thru base leg/final approach turn. We’ve all done it .. your turn cross wind, and into the wind needs more airspeed. Slow flight downwind is a no no.
Harsh!! That's gotta hurt... I hadn't crashed a plane in ages then a couple weeks back i crashed 2 in a week😫 I feel your pain...
Bad luck, but you did provide a valuable lesson to us all about turning downwind. Thanks. Good job.
Dam. Sorry to see. I hope you get another viper back in the air..
I fee your pain Gary.... hopefully you have recovered by now and back in the air with a new one :)
Yep it flies so good.
I watch a few times flyng that slow in a turn can stall or something else have happen look like u had power in that turn or did u power back that will stall it if u did power turn off.
To little power for the amount of weight I was carrying. I was using a 7000mah battery.
According to the space I have to store aircrafts, I can only own 2 at a time, so whenever one crashes... I understand your pain. All the best for your next flights!
God Bless you man.
So sorry about that. I feel for you. I'm just a beginner and i couldn't even tell what happened. It wasn't much. Not enough speed going into the corner and it tip stalled. I was flying my cheap little plane the other day and i put it into expert mode and it instantly just fell out of the air. I don't know how you guys fly so good with out safe. But you seem like a great guy and I'm pretty sure people will help you out and you will have another one. I subscribed but not to see you crash. Just keep on flying!!
Thanks for subbing! I will have it flying again soon.
New subscriber here Gary…. Man, I hate this for you… I got my 70 mm too slow and lost it earlier this summer. Hang in there…
Thanks Eddie! I have parts ordered. They were showing in stock so hopefully I'll have them yet this week. I would love to fly this again by the weekend.
I’m sorry for your loss. But man you was kinda asking for it. The viper stalls aggressively on low speed when it drops a wing. And going slow and turning close to the ground is asking for trouble unfortunately. 😢
Sorry for your plane! It looked like not repairable.
What was wrong? I’m still learning about this hobby!
A few things we're wrong. CG was too far forward and too slow in the turn. Those were the main problems.
I‘m with you 🙈 lost my plane too in the last week 😔 its hard 😬
Hello gary , from France
You talk to much
Concentrate on your flight
Take care and stay safe
Just watched this. Looks to be a year old or more. Those that dare to fly will have mishaps. Those that don’t fly, well they have a stable of hangar queens. You fly a lot and things happen. That is an awesome jet and I would love to hear a follow up to this event.
I love flying this jet! I repaired it and have been flying it often. Currently my landing gear are bent. 😅
Sorry to see that Gary. It was a bit of deja vu for me though. My maiden of the 90mm Viper was Saturday, and…same result! I have plenty of experience with warbirds and jets, but this stall just snuck up on me. In my case, a new fuse and right wing is what I needed, so it’s ordered. Looks like you might just need a fuse yourself. Best of luck to you!
Ordered, thanks and sorry to hear it.
So sorry my friend. This one really hurts. 😢
Not to worry, that's the beauty of foam, an easy fix with a bit of reinforcement.
Sorry to see this! I have that jet and she’s very expensive and a beautiful plane! I hope you are able to fix her. Maybe a new fuselage and she should be back in no time!! Best wishes!
It was fairly easy to repair. It flies like new.
I don’t understand what happened. Did you not give it enough power and the wing stalled? I thought having the flaps down provided more lift. Sorry about the gasser. Some days just are bad. Looking forward to tomorrow’s flight to see how you reset. I crash and reset watching Grandpa Gary.
Thanks Allan! It definitely stalled.
full flaps and gear are a sure way to have a tip stall.Real aircraft don't use landing flaps until they are on the final approach,not on downwind or base leg,as that is asking for trouble,and many piloys found out the hard way that isn't good.Full flaps cause more drag than lift!
At least nobody was hurt. I lost a Citabria like that, high speed or accelerated stall, I just missed some guys working on a plane by the flightline. It happens and your loss will prevent someone else from doing the same thing. Just order a new fuselage and make it fly again.
Just remember, sir if you’re gonna fly a jet, it needs to be at speed. if you want to slow it down and see when it’s gonna actually stall you need to be like 3 to 4 mistakes high. Good luck 👍🏼
They say its all part of the hobby,BUT IT REALLY STILL SUCKS! Did you try and fix it? Ive seen people reheat the foam and rebuild the plane.
I replaced the fuselage. Wanted it to look kind of nice. I Fly this all the time. 😀🛩👍
Gary sorry that happened I know that's not a cheap airplane I have my little learner pioneer 320 ready to fly one I haven't taken out of the box yet I'm just waiting to get a nice still day and a big open field so I may have the same results as you had possibly be well God bless be happy 😊
Sorry man! We all have had those horrible crashes and it hurts.
