This makes me miss Dave. He was great for Flitetest.
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.
I remember those humble beginnings
Thank you, brother
This makes me very happy ❤
That is why we do it! Thank you for watching it means the world to us!
Watched Flitetest since 2013. Loved seeing an old project come back.
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
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
@@rexc3123 I get it. Yeah there was a time when FT said all their plans would always be free. But because the plans for the OG Viggen are still free, you could very easily cut out DTFB for the KF step.
FINALLY!! The Viggen is back!!
10 years flies by just like that! To think the technology has made that much of a difference.
Also I noticed y’all painted the shop! Love the color
Kline Fogleman Wing steps are a blast. I just built smaller Models with this Wings and they fly so stable in heavy winds. I'm looking forward to see you updated Viggen. Really a great EDF jet. The first I had.
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.
Dave is one of the few people to make me feel short, in stature and plane design.
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 remember the explosive Viggen, Dave was awesome to have on the show!
Love the Viggen! Nice to see it being revisited/revamped. I rebuilt my original one by adding a "conventional" FT double layered wing with a spar, and doubled up the vertical stab too. Have built them that way ever since 🙂
imagine adding servos and ailerons to the canards like the actual Viggen fighter? that would add some insane maneuverability when slaved to the wing servos.
now all you need is to bring og Dave back
@FliteTest CHALLENGE: make an rc plane with rubber band engines for thrust
I have been around since the beginning of Flitetest. Thank you for inspiring me, flew my first plane in 2013. Some of these early flights are documented on my channel.
Would like to see different KFM types on this bird.
Cheers from Germany
When is it arriving in the shop? Can't wait!
Please do publish the plans upgrade - in New Zealand, we primarily make our FT aircraft from plans only.
I just picked up one of these from a friend of mine! So much fun jist high alphas everywhere!
It needs the afterburner on it with the butane and sparker 🤣
Time for a nice jas 39 gripen model
I want to see more touchNgos 😂 My favorite thing to do is a touch and go.
really nice flight characteristics!
Nice work. Impressive.
Can we revisit our A-10 adventures?? Pretty please
Most underrated plan of all time.
Yay! The Viggen is back baby!! I was wondering why it was pulled. I’m actually in the process of building my 3rd V1 Viggen using an old 3s 64mm EDF, so the wings shouldn’t fold! Hopefully I can end up with v2 at some point.
Hey guys, great paint job! I've been looking around for a decent (read affordable) airbrush setup. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!
Great EDF and its hard to believe that it's Ben 10 years since I seen the original flight of this jet time just seems to go so fast 😮
The Logo of My Heritage after showing the B17 looked like a Nuclear Bomb to me, I wonder why XD
Viggen is great! Speaking of John O, what happened to all his fantastic builds? He just disappeared! I miss his great designs.
Do it w retracts or offer a hot wire cut fuselage that is a kit I bet it would sell very well
Would love to see an FT Draken or FT gripen:)
Yep. I’d love to see a Gripen. May have to mod a Viggen V2 in the mean time.
@@GregoryC21 with full flying canards… that would be beautiful
I just wish the kits where available for a reasonable price in Europe. Doubling the US price is hard to swallow.
Great upgraded Viggen. How about an upgraded install of the afterburner and heat sink the exhaust instead of melting it down next time?❤
Not a bad idea 😂
When will it be available at the shop?
this gonna be back up on the store soon?
Since you're revisiting David's designs, Tricopter.
Baby tricopter design scaled up for modern 7" props would be amazing
I know this is an advertisement for the re-release, but if all ads were this good, I wouldn't mind watching them.
I see a flite test video i click simple 😂❤
Bought the original before it left the store and never made the time to assemble it. Can you please make the new wing available separately?? That would be awesome!
you kidding? i wouldve jumped onto it on first sight
That thing seems very light for 6S!
Picked mine up at FliteFest!
They were for sale at FF? Dang. Wish I had noticed that!
Is there a way to buy or make ft vigen? I have been a veiwer since last 7 years or so. I am doing UG now and i always had an attachment to rc aircrafts as i have made may of those and most take influence and help from flite test. 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. If there is anyone who knows where i can i find blueprints for ft vigen or other single jet engined aircrafts, please let me know. :)
My paternal grandfather traced our family tree using the old method of researching written records. 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.
checked my family tree and found that my 25x Grandmother was the Queen of england.
That Viggen has a performance (and something of the look) of the English Electric Lightning jet interceptor/fighter (C1960-1980).
The real life Viggen has better short field performance and nose authority than the EE Lightning, but they do share a similar purpose and the Viggen did follow in the EEL's footsteps with a time to 36k feet of less than a minute.
would it be possible to use a receiver with flight stabilization?
J'aime beaucoup la simplicité de vos constructions
Miss the old flite test
For a second there, I thought that said modifying our 10 year old virgin, WTF!😂😂
10 years !! Oh wow thats scary if im being honest.. I rember david and this plane like it was about 3 years ago..
Will the downloadable plans be updated to v2?
You need to make a thrust reverser for it like the real Viggen, would be fun in the air ;)
Hi flite test team
I can't find link to buy a speed build kit.
Could you send me the link please all I keep seeing is the first one you made years ago.😁
Fun fakt. The early full size viggens had the same problem, the wings broke off.
I would love to see more jets (I’m addicted to them)
Maybe like some 40-64mm jets would be cool
Nice!
At first glance I thought it said vegan! 😆😂🤣
Hey guys!!!
I got an idea. You could do a water war, with two teams, each one with a bomber and with an AAA trying to shoot with water guns to each other. It would be grate. Thank you.
Bring back the kit ! please
Why not paint the Swedish Airforce emblem on it (the three crowns)?
Video idea for the future
An 80th Anniversary heritage flight for the Blue Angels on April 24th where you guys hand build all 9 aircraft they flew from the Hellcat to the Super Hornet
The Blues are gonna be 80 in 2026
The ultimate refit.
Cool
I love your video and sorry I was late
Haven’t looked at it on line yet but what size edf are you using?
70mm edf power pack available on the store. :)
@@FliteTest I don't know what special sauce you've put in your 70 mm EDFs, but those things scoot! And they seem like they have WAY more punch than the ones 10 years ago.
no vectored thrust?
10 YEARS!?!? Dang...
Nice
We miss Dave and his tri-copters
Please, Please, Please do an "Avro Vulcan" design
Ohhhh. This is a good idea. I saw someone had a model of the Vulcan at FF but I didn't see it fly.
The viggen need s to be a bigger scale
Would this require remote ID?
I'm going to say it does. A 6s battery alone is more than 250 grams.
Dang We miss David!
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.
Hi
