Anyone for a 2014 Cessna 172S Skyhawk SP? Great for immersive UHD FPV! We just need to extend the runway a bit. Flies well off grass!

I volunteer to fly it from Ecuador to Buttonville. The buyer pays my flight to Ecuador 🇪🇨 , gas, taxes and landing fees. No need for hotels for the return flight, I will sleep in the plane. ;-)

To use an airplane term, it seems this thread has been hijacked.

To have the reverse function on the new Viper 90mm, your Spektrum radio needs to able to communicate with the SMART ESC.

The NX series or Spektrum radio with the latest firmware that can read SMART ESC info.
