So today was a great day! We got the maiden on the Viper. Now as the flight was very nice, I once again ran into some issues that I wish didn't happen. The first thing was my cortex gyro stopped working. It worked find the night before and that morning before loading up to head to the field. I get to the field turn the viper on and no movement on the controls. I waited for the 6 sec and went to move the sticks but nothing. I did that process 3 times and nothing. unplugged the gyro and put my control surface back on the CB200. Worked like it should have. The next issue that I had was that my retracts didn't want to retract. I am still trying to figure that one out. The air maybe bypassing the o-rings in the air cylinder. I will have to pull them out and check them. So the flight went with no gryo and landing gear down. A little bit below half throttle and pretty strong winds. I felt that that it flew nicely and cant wait to get these issue fixed to open her up. I want to give a big thanks to Duke from our club for conducting the maiden on for me and checking this thing out. Here is a video of the flight. It was taken on the phone so please forgive me if its not top quality.
