Haha - I ain’t scared. I’ve built the big guinea, which actually has a bigger wingspan than the Storch, as well as the explorer and simple soarer which are “huge” planes as well. I’ve also done some of the more complex planes like the sea angel and edge 540. (I have yet to do a master series, but I’ll do the mustang when it comes out.) It’s just that I already have the scout and cub and think it would be cool to do a jet... The closest I’ve gotten to a jet is the f-22 which is retired by now. Reminds me I want to build another one... So many planes and not enough time and supplies. Gotta pick up another box of foam and then some more servos and electronics... I might just start a Storch sometime this week if I can find the time - it seems like an awesome bird and I really want to do a group build!
No probs. Just ribbing you.
Build what you want naturally, and have fun doing it! The Viggen was the plane I first wanted when I contacted the FT store and inquired about what plane to start with. The guy I spoke with said it definitely was NOT the Viggen!
He actually recommended the Explorer, but it was out of stock and I went with the Tiny Trainer.
If you decide to do it, I wish you luck with your Viggen build. Personally, I'm really looking forward to your maiden flight video of that one!
