It turns out that the Viggen is too hard, but I wanted to build a Swedish plane, so I decided to make an FT Mighty Mini Vampire in Swedish schemes.
 
I took these plans by @Horseman3381 and printed them 8.5x11" letter sized paper. The goal was to get another plane for the PowerUp system, or some place to put in micro guys.

This uses paper plates for the foam. This makes it light and easy/cheap to purchase.

I used a bread tie to crease where the board was to be remove. A little glue and we are all good

I little more work and it time to check the weight of it.

I would love for this to roll into the skylies, time for gear.
I made mine from three sized foam circles. A drinking straw box juice.

To balance, I needed 1 penny where each motor goes. And only a nickel in the cockpit.
Time to install the gear on the belly.
