Ft viggen group build!

[BATTLEAXE]

I may have found a 70mm edf, belongs to a friend. He was mentioning about putting on a random plane like a glider, I told him about the Viggen and some eyebrows were raised, we will see

Something wrong with the Iced tea can thrust hectoring plan?

No, just side tracked by the edge design.

What's up with the Edge

I gotta do some on my edge as well😂

Ah that's right, I saw the maiden,

Will a pusher setup I would recommend that those who are a bit adventurous try a thrust vectoring setup. Even if only an up and down setup as it would really enhance its maneuverability and give some spectacular effects at high alpha!

have fun!

As I’m using an 1808 motor, I’m trying to keep this SUPER light, but I’m incorporating a thrust vectoring setup on my ft-22 on @BATTLEAXE build thread. I’m looking forward to it. I’m unsure how much throw I’ll need on it and what expo to use, so hopefully I’ll get some help on that when the time comes...

You have a few setup choices from just moderate vectoring+/- 5 degrees through to a full blown insane machine with greater than +/-45 degrees. With the greater angles you will require a lot more Expo even upto 60% at 45 Degrees if you are going to be able keep it calm and under control!

have fun!

Ok- great to know! Thanks!

@Headbang and I flew my Viggen again today after programming in the Thrust Vectoring.

We then threw in a 4S 2200 Mah battery. All I can say is: WOW!

Video was taken and he should have it uploaded shortly.

Cool - can’t wait to see it! I also can’t wait to finish and fly mine!

Same motor as f pack, but a 35amp esc, with a 5x45 bullnose prop

 

[BATTLEAXE]

bullnose prop

What's a bullnose? Brand?

I believe they are dalprop. Bullnose is a style. Basically wide tipped. Useful for speed.

Speed you say huh... interesting.

When's the video release?

Next few days. It is the exact same setup I had in that 3d printed northern pike.

I bet the Viggen is half the weight easily as well.

Try 1/5th the wieght!
