Description:
The Flite Test Viggen is a rule breaker. It's a jet that can slow down to a crawl and not stall. Yet it can be fast and track like an arrow. It has a precise and locked in feel. These characteristics make the FT Viggen a great EDF trainer. The fact that you don't have to fly fast all the time and be afraid of...

Here’s my Viggen completed from the last of the speed kits. Since the emphasis was on ‘speed’, I ‘upsized’ her power to an 80mm EDF setup. Man, is she fun to fly!!!

Here's mine, I'm kinda a bad painter but I think it turned out alright. Powered off of an F pack equivalent with thrust vectoring, and it flies beautifully.

Hey guys, I'm building a FT Viggen and I have a question. I am tiling plans for it and I have 2 sets of thrust tube formers and some other pieces that are exact duplicates of each other. What's the reason for this?

Hey guys, I'm building a FT Viggen and I have a question.

I'm glad to hear that some more people are building Viggens, they fly great! Remember that it didn't happen if there were no pictures.

The smaller set of formers are to be used if you’re using a 64mm fan, and the set with the larger holes are for if you are using a 70mm fan.

Yeah ik that but why are ther 3 of each?

They should be in separate places to support the thrust tube and give it the right shape.

I am so sorry for my bad typing let me try and clarify myself. I know there are three for the 70mm edf and 3 for the 64mm edf but why is there another set of both. And there is also a duplicate of the bottom nose piece and power pod holder.

Oh, I see what you mean. As fas as I know that’s a mistake in the plans. I ended up with extras when I built my viggen.
