    I just ordered a Viggen speed build kit!!! I can't wait to build and fly it! If only the recommend edf was in stock. I will have to piece together my motor and ESC on my own. Thank you FT!

    David's work with FT Viggen was one of his best. The Viggen is an awesome RC subject and one of the best flying EDF's I have flown.

      PKMartin I don't think that it's actually a camera hanging off a plane. 1. I can't imagine what would happen to the CG if you did that to a plane! 2. I don't see the Control Surfaces deflect at all.
      It's like it's an empty plane (no electronics) hanging off a Quad Copter.

      Tim Rice actually they have mounted a camera on the plane. Although removed it for the preview image in photoshop(or similar). Check the video :) you will like it!

      It was normaly for gopros and those crazy people, search for FPV a change in perspective, or use this: watch?v=OgGsPaCVdjY
      It works great! And look cool as well.
      Anyway, thanks to David! Thank you for, well, basicly everything!

    I built one of these back when the video was up. I spent many hours actually measuring with a ruler on my screen measuring in cm converting to inches...don't ask i did what I had to do lol but I came out with one of the most memorable flight experiences I've ever had an to this day I would do it all over again. I still have the original waiting for when my little one is old enough to fly. Thank you for sharing your knowledge knowledge with the public this design is phenomenal.

    My nephew and I built a edf viggen recently. I was really nervous about the first flight (we are fairly new to rc flying). My 12yo nephew flew the plane and made it look easy. I'm very impressed with the flight characteristics of this plane, it wants to fly really fast, but has no problem slowing down and just glides in for a soft landing. Great job on this design, if you're new don't be afraid of buying/building one. Love it.

    A big thanks to the FliteTest team! You guys are a class act, and definite innovators and pillars of the R/C community!
    You guys make it fairly cheap and easy for beginners to get into flying, yet still have cheap and advanced planes as well. Job well done guys! I think it's safe to say no one can wait to see what you guys think of next!
    I own 2 of your planes so far ( spitfire and f-22 ) I will be ordering the Viggen tomorrow.

    • @RomiAlmeda
      @RomiAlmeda 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We use Adam's Readi Board, commonly referred to as "Dollar Tree Foam Board" because it is sold at the Dollar Tree for, well, $1 per 20x30" sheet. It is slightly heavier than Depron because of the paper lining but you can remove the paper much easier than Elmers foamboard to make it lighter. I hope this helps!

    • @ulaB

      I'm in Germany, so I don't have access to a Dollar Tree :). That's why I wonder how thick the boards are (and perhaps the weight / sheet) so I can find something similar in our hobby shops.

    This plane is phenomenal… I just love it.
    I built around 5 Viggen 3 with the same dimensions and 2 128% bigger , the bigger one is so much better with90 mm EDF but the common problem in all of them is the lack of ventilation for the electronics. That is why I made ventilators for the last 3.
    Thnx David it’s a great plane.

    • @rickharriss
      @rickharriss 11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      There are alternatives, perhaps not so good but close enough as this has a huge weight envelope - Corroflute for example - Often used in forsale signs.
      Insulation foam is available all over the world.
      There is a post in the tips on Foam board in Australia.
      At a push you could mod the design to use light ply and balsa. David has done all the hard work on the design.

    Wow, you can really tell when DW is fond of something. I'm tempted to build one though I think I'll have to leave off those baby blue stickers.
    All kidding aside, very nice design and build Dave. Today's show was a special one of a kind in many ways. You are fortunate to have such a passion and skill and especially a woman back home who'll put up with it all for so long.
    Nice show guys.

    This was one of the most fun episodes ever! Every episode should end with a burning hulk of an airplane :). I like the fly em' like you stole em attitude also. Makes the sport much more fun. This is on my list of builds now.

    I use that mobius cam for everything! I haven't posted any videos of it yet, but I use it for FPV, Airsoft POVs, Normal recording, biking, you name it. I would definately recommend bc its such a good quality and small camera for really cheap.

  • @stephenstudios8507
    @stephenstudios8507 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That formation flying you did made me think of an awesome idea: You could use FPV gear and a gas powered plane to do a mid-air refeuling mission!

    Wow put a lot of research and development into this plane. Also got a million dollar movie with all that work with the afterburner. That was epic.

  • @ElAMPox
    @ElAMPox 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Afterburner did it again!.
    David, try igniting the afterburner with steel wool and sulphur. The cool thing about this method is that the rate of burn is proportional to the air flow surrounding it. It is what they use on modern flaming arrows. Add an electronic igniter (small resistor or nichrome with matches) and you should have a somewhat more safe igniter/primer for the butane combustion.
