Hi guys.

Guy at the sticks we all love and hate the same time
Hats off for his help and support to make this project alive
My endless appreciation to Lenny Keer for consulting and guiding me right directions.

F5B Virage Maiden Flight (Valentine's Day) (5 min 22 sec)

Virage maiden/trim flight (4 min 50 sec)

Both videos are of same flight, the first flight of Yuri's new Virage, one on Samsung Galaxy 6s and the other ehelibuf s digital camera. I recieved the prototype 3 weeks ago and started building........
Yuri has done it again, this airframe is something else.....22.2 oz. When I got it, 2035 2100kv jeti-phasor
160hv castle
4-ds095
1-94802 airtronics in tail
2x5s 1800 thunder power (old packs)
GM 17.5x17.5
AUW 68.6 oz..."cool 69"
Still pulled 5000 watts
Most of you know I'm not a traditional f5b pilot, so I can't comment on its competition course qualities, and only after one flight with the sun practically in my face it is a real performer, Wednesday I will fly it again,with hopes of new packs and the 18x23 which should bump the watts up to way over 6,000....😨😨😨😨
Thank you Yuri once again for having faith in my flying skills as to test another one of your airframes!!!!!!!

Test plane photos, I documented my build but really it's no different than his other models, once again Pete's mounts were up to the task, can't say enough about the simplicity of his mounts.......Happy Valentine's day, Yuri puts tons of LOVE into each airframe.......this was my Valentine

Very nice.........
Great job Yuri.
Thanks Steve
Pete

Great job Yuri and the rest of the team. Can't wait for more!

Virage = (sharp) turn en Français!

Looks like a million $ Yuri!

Edit: 22oz! How long is the fuse?

That long.

Nice work. Very nice to see a 2m ship Yuri.

Might have to be my next airframe.

Great looking airframe Yuri! Looking forward to mine.
Nice to have an F5B size airframe made in the US!

Steve, nice job on the test fight!

You're killing me Yuri...I'm still trying to convince myself that I don't absolutely need an X-Plus!!!

Looks great!

Finally one my old eye's can see......
