65" Vyper Discussion Thread

[gyro]

Gary, thanks for pointing that out...I wasn't looking at the weight, I was looking at the price...for only $10 difference, I can get the more powerful motor and have one good enough for an electruc 71" Slick or 72" Extra someday...but the weight difference is quite large...although there seems to be plenty of room to move things around in the battery tray.

I had 2 ultra-light 4s 3700 packs, and they were on the wingtube, and she was still nose heavy. just sayin...

Who is that with the red Vyper? (RCAddict16 by any chance?) I recognize Noll with the (new) yellow Vyper.

BTW, I ended up ordering the Motrolfly 4320-400 to replace the Scorpion motor that I smoked on my 65" Vyper last weekend.
Hoping to receive it this week so I can fly it this weekend!

Ok, so my Motrolfly 4320-400 arrived yesterday! THANKS KEN!

I've attached a few pics.

Looks like the motor is shorter than the scorpion by almost 1/2 inch so I'll need longer spacers.
Also, the hole pattern is slightly different, so I punched out the blind nuts last night and I'll drill new holes tonight.

This is one AWESOME looking motor!

IIRC, I had 22mm aluminum spacers (thanks Cmala) on mine, and the spinner gap was nice and tight at about 1-2mm.
