ft viggen

AFter succesfully flying my FT-22, I asked my instructor if I was ready for EDF, and he said yes. I asked if the Viggen was a good idea, and he also said yes. On this thread, I will write about me saving up for it (I want to make it my best project yet), building it, painting it (it is gonna be...

After the last FT Viggen had a spectacular demise, I decided I wanted a different EDF sport jet similar to the FMS Viper. I like the Viggen’s simplicity, so I used it as the base model sized up 125%. I combined many of the Viggen’s parts and modeled the control surfaces after the FMS Viper...

Is it possible to make a two wheel landing configuration like with a tail dragger or such for an edf jet like the ft viggen? Thank you! Also, can you use the FT battery splitter included in the power pack to connect two lipos into series to make two 2s into a 4s? And last, I have two 2s (450 mah...

Hi everyone. One of my favorite Flite Test designs was the FT Viggen, and I was wondering if the Flite Test Team could do a Cold War Jet EDF Series this winter. I would love to see the F-105 Thunderchief built much like the Viggen was. How about we put it to a vote? Each person vote for the Cold...

I am hoping someone can recommend a good all-in-one EDF unit for the Ft Viggen, ideally from HobbyKing, or somewhere in Canada. I originally bought this setup, but had my Fan explode on spool up...: Turnigy L2855-2800 EDF Outrunner (630w) 10 Blade High-Performance 70mm EDF Ducted Fan Unit...

Hello everyone/Flite Test, I've noticed that the free video content Flite Test offers is mainly [if not entirely] videos related to foamies or RC planes in general. Although I haven't ventured into flying Gasers and EDF jets [and other means of propulsion and building materials], in the future...

Will the FT viggen be able to hold this motor? http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/%5F%5F49489%5F%5FDr%5FMad%5FThrust%5F70mm%5F11%5FBlade%5FAlloy%5FEDF%5F1900kv%5FMotor%5F1900watt%5F6S%5F.html It seems like the thrust is too high, will the frame hold up?

I want to get an EDF for the ft viggen, however I want to make sure that this is the right edf. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/%5F%5F49489%5F%5FDr%5FMad%5FThrust%5F70mm%5F11%5FBlade%5FAlloy%5FEDF%5F1900kv%5FMotor%5F1900watt%5F6S%5F.html Does it have too high of a thrust? Will the...

Hello everybody. It is within my great intent to say that this is my first forum post and I believe we all know it is going to lack Rc knowledge. Which leads to my first point. I need to know a set up that I can buy online that has all the electronics of the FT viggen. (Motor, ESC, Battery...

Hey everyone, I am Silvester, I'm 15 years old and I live in the Netherlands. I recently ( about 2 months ago) bought a HobbyZone Super Cub S RTF, and I have become addicted to flying it since then. I fly as much as I can, but there is a lot of windy, wet and cold weather (It's winter), so...

HI, I just order a FT Viggen and the Ultimate Electronics package so I have everything for the plane except a transmitter and the receiver. What is the cheapest transmitter and receiver that will have fully function the FT Viggen. (By the way I don't have any other receiver or transmitter)

Hi guys, im living in Thailand, Bangkok and i found ur website on youtube, got really interested in all this rc flying stuff, but never even hold any rc in my hands like ever =D After long time of searching and watching FT videos i finally decide to try to make one, i pick FT viggen as i...

I did my maiden flight of my scratch-built FT Viggen today. I built it as a pusher with a Turnigy D2826/6 2200KV motor, 40 amp speed controller, 3s 2200mah battery, and an 8x4 prop. I just ordered the components, and In the next week or two I'll build one with an EDF. After my flight, I...

I recently built my FT Viggen with the swappable power pod option. I could not make my FT Viggen take off even with full throttle. What am I doing wrong? This is my configuration: Motor: Turnigy Aerodrive SK3 - 2822-1090kv ESC: Hobbyking SS Series 25-30A ESC Battery: ZIPPY Flightmax 3000mAh...

Oh man, I am so stoked that I just purchased the FT Viggen SBK (Killer deal for the amount of work put into the design) and I also purchased the Grayson Hobby 70mm EDF Power Package-Ultimate!! :cool: :p This is going to be my first EDF build/aircraft, so I'm ready for this thing to arrive...
