    I've watched FliteTest since the very beginning. For those that know, that was the Review of the Parkzone F4F Wildcat. Yes, a brand that Horizon doesn't even use anymore, and a plane itself that's been discontinued multiple times and brought back multiple times. It's really cool to see how far you guys have come in that time.

    Finally a restoration of an old project that isn't a complete redesigned. ,just please make the plans free like the old ft viggen , i want to build one but really don't have the money to spare for a kit or the membership for free plans

    • @aerospacematt9147

      To me it looks identical for the most part, just needs a KF step cutout to be glued on top of the flat wing. Also I noticed during the video that they didn’t make the exhaust tube flush with the rear of the plane. That could either be because they forgot or are working on a rear nozzle instead of the flat back plate. Finally, you don’t need landing gear with this, a underhand launch throwing from gripping the top electronics hump (like the A-4F) will suffice. I’ve never had an issue as a result of that launch. (My first Viggen had a right adverse yaw tendency which put my maiden into a fence! That wasn’t the launch fault though.)

      @aerospacematt9147 yeah ,but I am kind of tired of all the plans behind a pay wall ,and this was one of the original designs remade as the original design was intended ,this makes me happy, unlike the mini corsair where they forgot the original concept of 1 sheat of foam and not too complex to build

    My Viggen from 3 years ago has a steerable nosewheel and the canards are active as well. I also added a carbon spar. Flies great and it's fun to taxi from the pits out to the runway.

    I have made 14 Viggens from plans, for myself and friends. I've powered them from 40mm to 70mm EDF. The fastest had w/two 70mm EDFs. I also tried four(4) 36mm(?) EDFs but they were more toy like. All were built following the plans except for one 1mm x 5mm carbon fiber rod across the wing as David talked about in his video.

I am doing engineering and I have to make a project for my final year. I wanted to make a rc jet with an afterburner.

Despite the records carnage during Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries between 1536 and 1541, he established a clear line back to Grimbaldus the Norman, who invaded England with William the Conquerer in 1066.

    Okay, this is now begging for an FPV version. Granted, I’m more than a little biased since I fly the Viggen in DCS and love playing limbo with power lines and bridges at over 400 knots, but given that large forward fuselage and the shape of the nose, it’s very supportive of adding in FPV gear.
