E-Flite Viper 64mm EDF Jet PNP EFL07775
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!

E-flite Viper 64mm EDF Jet PNP Overview
Like the full-scale ViperJet, the E-flite Viper 64mm EDF delivers fighter-jet looks and performance with low-wing prop-driven airplane handling so more pilots can enjoy flying a jet! It's a scale EDF that flies smoothly and handles like a sport airplane — yet is also capable of incredible top speeds and aerobatics. But what truly sets it apart is how easy it is to hand launch or take off, fly, and land, which makes it the class-leading choice for a wide variety of pilots. No glue or special tools are required for assembly, and you can have it ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery! The lightweight, composite-reinforced EPO airframe is factory-finished in the now iconic Aircraft Studio Design trim scheme. And the seven factory-installed digital servos with ball-link equipped linkages deliver crisp and precise control at every speed. It's also equipped with functional LED navigation and landing lights, along with factory-installed flaps for shorter takeoffs and landings plus improved slow-flight performance. The optional-use landing gear features a steerable nosewheel and shock-absorbing trailing-link struts, or you can remove it — without using any tools — for more speed and vertical performance when flying over grass! Molded-in finger grips make it easier to hand launch, plus the BNF Basic version also offers an automatic Hand Launch Assist Mode to make it one of the easiest to launch models in its class.
E-flite Viper 64mm EDF Jet PNP Features

Skill Level 3 – Experience Required
Skill Level 3 aircraft, like this one, are suitable for more experienced RC pilots with the skills to assemble, set up, and fly similar class models. This PNP version requires more experience and skills to assemble and fly than the BNF Basic version because you must install a receiver that does not already include properly tuned AS3X+ and SAFE Select technologies. It's not a suitable first-ever RC aircraft for new pilots or EDF model for low-time RC pilots. You should have the experience and skills necessary to assemble and 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.
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 (BNF Basic version only).
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 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.
Durable Precision
The lightweight yet durable EPO airframe is composite reinforced for added strength. And the seven factory-installed digital servos with ball-link equipped linkages deliver crisp and precise control at every speed.
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.
