Tom Stanton | FT Mini Viggen 50mm - Maiden Flight + Crash @TomStantonEngineering | Uploaded 10 years ago | Updated 15 hours ago
This is the maiden flight of my FT mini Viggen! It is 70% the size of the original plans made by flitetest. The 50mm edf unit was from an old plane I had laying around and the lipos are from a TREX 250 heli. I have ordered some 4s 1300mah lipos to try and hopefully the improved power should improve the performance! Also, I will admit that the crash was completely pilot error, I wasn't concentrating enough and over corrected when exiting a bank. Other than having a slightly worse glide slope, this plane flies just as good as the larger version!
