And just wondering, I want to handlaunch it, but it doesn't have any place to launch it. Could I try to make a handle like the Habu's?

It best to have a friend to launch a edf jet if possible because they don't move air over the control surfaces like a propped plane does so they have to pick up speed before they can fly properly.....Si a hard launch is best and that can be hard to do with one hand on the sticks....Especially if you are worried about power.

I'll use the guy who sold me the jet then!

Do you know AlpineRC? Or something like that. The kid that flies the XFly B-1 Lancer is the kid who sold me the T-7

If it's a 4s jet, unfortunately it probably needs a 4s pack. The speed of the motor in the EDF is tuned to the cell count of the battery, so a 3s pack will give you less thrust with a 4s motor than it will with a 3s motor. The viggen is also very light for its size. It may barely fly on 3s (I flew a Freewing 64mm F-22 with a 4s motor on 3s a couple times) but it won't fly well and it will make the problems with EDFs (low thrust and slow response) significantly worse.

It does, I found out the hard way a couple of weeks ago
