E-flite Viper 64mm EDF Jet BNF Basic 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.

Bind-N-Fly Completion Level Advantage
Already own a Spektrum transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) aircraft make getting into the air quickly and with the best control experience possible easier than ever. They come out of the box with the power system, servos and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver installed so all you need to do is bind the receiver to a compatible transmitter, finish any final assembly, and fly!
This Bind-N-Fly Basic model is equipped with a Spektrum 2.4GHz DSMX® receiver featuring AS3X (Artificial Stabilization-3-aXis) technology that works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence. The result is a heightened sense of stability and precision that makes you feel like you're flying a much larger, expertly tuned aircraft.
If this is your first model of its type, or you want an extra margin of safety while familiarizing yourself with the airplane, you can enable the optional-use SAFE¬ Select flight envelope protection technology built into the receiver. No programming is required. Simply change up the binding sequence as directed in the manual.
With SAFE Select enabled, you get:
Pitch and Bank Angle Limits
- These envelope limits keep the airplane from rolling or pitching upside down. They also prevent excessive climb or dive angles.
Automatic Self-Leveling
- The airplane instantly returns to and holds level flight when the sticks are released and in the centre position. It's also helpful for keeping the wings level during takeoffs/launches and landings.
Easy Switch Assignment-No Complex Programming Required
- The simple procedure for assigning a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select features on and off doesn't require any complex programming and takes just a few seconds.
If you don't want to enable the SAFE Select features, just bind the receiver normally and it will function like a standard AS3X receiver.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the E-flite Viper 64mm EDF Jet suitable for beginners? — Whilst the Viper is designated as Skill Level 3 (the manufacturer specifies Level 2 on some retailer pages), it's far more beginner-friendly than most EDF jets in its class. The exclusive AS3X+ stability technology and SAFE Select flight envelope protection provide significant confidence-building assistance. The automatic Hand Launch Assist Mode makes launching straightforward, and the model's sport-aeroplane-like handling characteristics make it much more forgiving than pure jet designs. If you're new to RC flying generally, we'd recommend starting with a simpler trainer aircraft first, but if you have some RC experience and want to try jet flying, this is an excellent entry-level choice.
- What battery does the Viper 64mm EDF require and how long does it fly? — The Viper is compatible with 4S LiPo batteries in the range of 2200mAh to 3200mAh capacity. The recommended specifications are 4S 14.8V batteries with discharge rates of 50+C (for 2200mAh) to 30+C (for 3200mAh), using either EC3™ or IC3™ connectors. The 2200mAh capacity will provide shorter flight times with maximum performance, whilst the larger 3200mAh capacity extends flight duration. Flight time varies depending on your flying style, weather conditions and throttle management, but you should expect multiple flights per battery with proper battery management.
- Do I need landing gear for this model? — The Viper 64mm EDF comes with optional removable landing gear featuring a steerable nose wheel and shock-absorbing trailing-link struts. This gear allows conventional takeoffs and landings from grass or paved surfaces. However, you can remove it without using any tools, which improves both speed and vertical performance for flying over grass or in slope-soaring situations. Many pilots enjoy having the gear option available but remove it for certain flying sessions to maximise performance.
- What transmitter do I need to fly the Viper? — You'll need a full-range 5–7+ channel Spektrum DSMX® or DSM2® compatible transmitter. This includes all modern Spektrum transmitters such as the DX series, iX series and NX series. The receiver includes a Smart Transmitter Model File that allows automatic setup with newer iX and NX transmitters during binding, eliminating the need for manual programming in most cases. If you don't already own a compatible transmitter, RC Model Shop can help you choose the right option for your needs.
- What makes the Viper 64mm different from other EDF jets? — The Viper's unique combination of fighter-jet aesthetics with genuine sport-aeroplane handling characteristics sets it apart significantly. Unlike pure jet designs that can be difficult to control smoothly, the Viper's aerodynamic design provides the stability and intuitive handling of a traditional low-wing aircraft, making it far easier to fly well. The integration of AS3X+ stability technology and SAFE Select flight envelope protection provides additional confidence-building assistance. The 11-blade 64mm fan delivers excellent efficiency with that distinctive turbine sound, and the optional Hand Launch Assist Mode makes launching extremely convenient. Most importantly, it's easier to hand launch and land than competing models in this category, making it the class-leading choice for a wider variety of pilots.
- Can the Viper perform aerobatics? — Absolutely. Despite its sport-aeroplane-like handling characteristics, the Viper delivers genuine aerobatic capability including rolls, loops, inverted flight and other aerobatic manoeuvres. The wide performance envelope and impressive vertical performance allow for aggressive flying when you want it, whilst the stability characteristics make smooth, graceful flying equally straightforward. The excellent top speed also contributes to responsive aerobatic performance.
- Does this include everything I need to fly? — The Viper 64mm EDF Bind-N-Fly Basic includes almost everything you need except three items: a compatible Spektrum transmitter, a 4S LiPo battery (sold separately), and a battery charger. All the electronics and mechanical components come factory-installed, so assembly is minimal and straightforward. RC Model Shop can help you source these completion items or provide package bundles if preferred.
- How long does assembly take? — Thanks to the no-glue assembly design and pre-installed components, you can have your Viper ready to fly in less than one hour. The one-piece wing with hands-free servo connections, magnetically-secured nose cone and simple attachment points mean assembly is straightforward and requires no special tools or adhesives.
