A very cool, possibly stable EPO jet. If someone would build it.

This would be a fantastic Jet. In the EPO market, simple, yet elegant.

The Viggen! The Swedes do make some cool jets!

FliteTest has had a foamboard Viggen for many years. I’ve had a couple of them myself. They are quite fun, cheap and easy to build. However, we’ve presently got the Gripen and Rafale. Both are deltas with canards. Both appear to have the typical delta wing rock where a gyro is needed to keep that under control. IMO, throw a Viggen into the mix and the Viggen is the ugly duckling of the 3. I’m not so sure the market could absorb 3 such models. Personally, I wouldn’t be interested in one. As much as I wanted the Rafale, I cancelled my order for now. (Significant negative public opinion surrounds it.) Although Freewing has likely sold every one they’ve made so far, with a second run on the way, I have a feeling that the Rafale will become another “fire sale” for Horizon before a year will have passed.

In the more-than 6 months we've been waiting since the Rafale was announced, we have had announcements AND deliveries of the Gripen, the F-15 from ArrowsRC, and a Hawker Hunter from Dynam. I too cancelled my Rafale order.

I wouldn't want a Viggen, but I'd go for a new Eurofighter.

It would be nice to have a large scale delta with canards. A twin edf. I'm a complete newb to EDFs, so maybe I'm not seeing the whole picture but the twin edfs seem to have a great speed and power envelope.

[SanExup]

Have you seen this Saab before? I don't know why I am drawn to ugly planes so much. But I'd fly this!

[starcop]

That's funny. Sure, we've all had a chubby airplane before. Heck, I'd fly anything with Two Wings!

Oh, it's all how we present the information. As long as others can understand. I'm still a noob!

Oh, if they build it you will come. Ha! Alpha can build anything.

The flight test was more into the simple foam. They did a great job.
