then the Part 2!
With the same hardware as the Viggen, it's definitely going to be slower; it's a bigger and heavier airframe. That said, it is still a very speed-capable jet, with not-too-crazy hardware. I was able to get over 100mph with an FMS 70mm 12-blade EDF on 4S.
So you can put us all to shame in that hobby too?
LOL! no no!, but you're more then welcome to stop over i'll share all my tips and tricks! nothing i have ever done can't be done by anyone who has the desire to! and the resources (me)...lol
Where do we stop over?
What's the biggest battery people have run in this? I have a 6s EDF and I'm looking into doing 2x 220g 3000mah 3s batteries. Will it still fly?
I flew mine on a 6000mAh 4S Graphene, but Graphenes are a bit porky so it was sluggish, but it still flew great. I routinely flew it on 2 x 2650mAh 4S packs in parallel, and that was a great setup.
Sadly, I've only got one extra EDF and so I must limit my choice for my winter project. Whichever I build, when it bites the dust I'll build the other.
What say you Mid7night (Ben)? You designed one and have built and flown both. My only EDF so far is the Viggen.
Appreciate opinions...
Please share both builds when you get around to them, and good luck!
Will do! Thanks for the great, detailed advice. The X-29 has a unique look but your A-4 has that sleek jet look. I may start then with the X-29, but I'm excited about your A-4. Great work!
I just finished the X-29 so I've built both. I will say that the X-29 stretched my skills and patience more than any FB airplane I've built to date. The A-4 isn't a Simple Cub, but it is much easier to build than the X-29.
Thanks for your comment, it gives me more ammo in making my decision. I'd say the most ambitious FT build I've done was the Sea Duck. A fair amount of work with it being a big twin engine.
It's funny, I just finished my X-29 and I am in the process of cutting out my own Sea Duck!
