Anybody else scratch building tonight?

Would be interesting to get the canards movable and it would add to the acrobatics.

Based on my experience with the Viggen, I doubt it will need active canards, but we will see. I did a quick maiden this weekend and I need to tweak some things - more reflex in the elevons and re-trim it. The launch turned into a touch and go, so I need to give it a bit more of a chuck on the launch. But it has promise. I am glad that I added a working rudder.
Video to follow once work settles down this week

Not so mush building but rather repairs and new paint job
I’m thinking maybe I should crash some more 😍

😯 A Victor! I didn't know you'd made one of these. It's the most futuristic really old jet I have seen!

Nice work, looks like you've ironed most the creases out and given it some extra details. I'm looking forward to seeing it fly - I imagine the passes this one does will give you more time to appreciate it, compared to the fighters. 😂

I was noticing the bell-cranks for the ailerons.

Hard to tell from that angle but is that an under cambered wing? The high lift would make sense.

Yeah they’re inq’s design

Do you plan on having reverse thrust or do you have other plans for slowing down on the heli pad?

brakes. I’ll post when I have them done

Brakes? as in on the wheels? I would think the plane would flip over

I'm going to put them on a momentary so i can just let the brakes off as it leans forward. Also sitting the battery low and back will help.
