Looks like it has seen some better days. Maybe a foam board jet, the vegan was done in foamboard and hotwire. That could be a great build.

I'd love to build that FT Viggen. I want an EDF jet so bad.

I looked her over good and there is no saving this air frame, pulled off the tape and now there are about 6 large pieces laying on the floor. Electronics are ok so a full build is in order!
I like the look of the Viggen but I am a little on the fence doing another jet, have done about six of them and all have met the earth the hard way
with one exception, that one became one with a tree
I have to settle on something soon! I havent built in like a month (slacker) but I am going thru withdraw, my eye is starting to twitch!

I kept looking at this EDF laying in the drawer and just had a hard time coming up with a plane idea I liked. Then I was taking a break at work and folded up a paper air plane and tossed it around. "Light-bulb"! So I scaled up the paper plane measurements by a factor of 3 to 1.

Started by cutting out the wing and assembling the rough fuselage.

Built a simple box for the fuselage and assembled it.

Shot some orange paint on it for orientation.
Set it up with elevon mixing and it is ready to go.
And how does it fly?
Not so good!
It's stable but no power to speak of!
Here, you'll see what I mean.....
