The Arrows Hobby 30mm Viper puts the sound and feel of an EDF jet into an airframe you can carry in one hand. The first model in Arrows' 30mm series, it pairs a 12-blade 30mm fan with a 1110 10000KV brushless motor and a built-in 7A ESC, running on a 2S 450mAh pack. The result is a quick, responsive little jet that will do stall turns, point rolls and inverted flight, yet flies from a park-sized patch of grass and fits on the passenger seat fully assembled.

A gyro is integrated into the ESC with two modes: Optimised, which smooths the jet's response without taking control away, and Stabilisation, which self-levels and adds full-throttle hand-launch assist with automatic pitch compensation, so the first launch is as simple as a firm throw. A removable wire undercarriage lets it take off from a smooth surface; pull it off for hand launching and belly landing on grass. The EPO foam airframe is reinforced with ABS plastic where it matters and finished in a classic sport livery in red.

This is the PNP version: motor, fan, ESC/gyro and three digital servos are factory installed. Note that it has no standard servo-plug receiver connection – it takes a micro SBUS receiver or an ELRS receiver (CRSF serial) plugged directly into the ESC/gyro unit, so you need a transmitter that works with one of those systems. Add the receiver, a 2S 450mAh LiPo with XT30 plug and a charger and it is ready to fly.
