Viggen is the most beautiful jet still! 😍

Still have mine quick build and LOVE it !

LOVE IT!!!!

Now I want one 😢.

Version 2 is already out on Flite Test site. They released a video of V2 FT Viggen.

Yep, love the Viggen. It adds some weight but I always build mine with a traditional 2 layer wing with a spar, and also double up the vertical stab. Makes it last longer and not warp.

Yeah belly landing on wet grass does a number on the plane. Still flies but I might do what you are talking about on the next build

I'd extend the vertical stab back and make the rudder extend down to the thrustline. Best of both worlds.

Collin (my friend who brought these out to the field and introduced us to the ft viggen) got inspired and put a thrust vector nozzle on it. He tried it out today... it was awesome! Flat spins were nice and flat. Hovers were now possible. It's a great mod for these planes. Not sure if I'll put the nozzle on or build out a rudder yet

& that's y it's discontinued. It's too good!

All the good ones get discontinued!

I've built one of these with a 64mm fan and it was a blast! I'm thinking of building one with a 70mm fan this time. Which EDF did you use exactly and what is the kv? And how many fan blades? Looks like a great power setup. Thanks for sharing.

Powerfun 3400kv 11blade on 4s. Amazon carries it.

What brand and model radio are you using. Thanks.

Frsky Tandem XE. I do a series on how to program on that radio. Awesome radio with lots of power. When using a Tandem receiver, the radio transmits on 2.4ghz and 915mhz at the same time. Radio hits and signal loss is non-existent with this setup. The XE is a tray type radio that only works if you pinch. If you use thumbs, a Frsky Tandem X20 or X18 would be better.

There is so many edf jets available, from me-262 to the 6th generation, but WHY there is not any Saab Viggens available? Palane looks great, and it is maybe the best edf for the beginners?

Agreed... its a great flying plane. Would love to see an 80mm scale viggen come out. Beginner edf? Yeah, possibly with the rates turned way down and with throttle control.

Yes! Canards makes it almost imbossible to stall. My FT Viggen weight is 1300g and its just float around in the high alpha😅@@all_rc
