Video of the Gripen demonstrating emergency landing procedures on a taxiway at our field. Kind of stupid but no one was there and I was bored. There was a crosswind and I was staring into the sun during landings using the runway so.......

Its very hard to fly with frozen fingers ;-) .I have figured we need more clothes than we think so we are almost to warm. That way we have excess heat in the body that keep the fingers warm :-))Comment

Does anyone know the actual name of the drop tanks (the squarish looking ones) the Gripen uses? Best I find is drop tank or 1100 litre external fuel tank. Trying to model one up for the printer.Comment

At the very least would love to have an IRIS-T for my wing tips.Originally posted by rms View Post
And obviously, a couple of Meteors under the wings would be nice too. After all, it is quite likely the most dangerous air to air missile in existence right now.Freewing A-10 turbine conversion: http://fb.me/FreewingA10TurbineConversionComment

Quite the engineering accomplishment that a modern fighter with one of the lowest operating cost per hour can utilize such a wide selection of armament.Comment

I have a 1:9 Sidewinder up on Thingiverse with lugs to fit the wingtip rails. Just search for my name or for Gripen.Originally posted by rms View PostComment

Absolutely.Originally posted by kallend View Post
Would love to sit down and model a bit more myself, just so darn hard to find time these days.
Instead, having something like 4-5 models needing work, building up a nice little backlog.Freewing A-10 turbine conversion: http://fb.me/FreewingA10TurbineConversionComment

I can put together a 3D 1:9 scale IRIS-T for the wingtip rails pretty quickly if I can find a 3-view or some dimensions of the fins. I couldn't find anything useful from a quick Google search. I already have the body done.Originally posted by janmb View Post
Do you have anything?Comment

It was hard to find more than lengt and diameter. I gess you have to stipelate the rest...Attached FilesComment

Agree, 3DP pylons would be extra cool.
If anyone does share some, I'll be grateful! :DComment

Here's what they look like

Here is my first shot. the body dimensions are good. The fins are guesstimated from photos.Originally posted by rms View Post
I haven't split it up into easily printable parts yet. Let me know if you think it OK and i'll work on the printing.
