Saab Gripen

[Ricardo]

Hi guys, I thought I should share a little of this build.
I wanted something shaped like a jet. Got a little inrunner from Pierre Sarault, and found plans for a Saab Gripen online.
Started with blue foam for the fuselage, regular depron for the wings and wood for the flight surfaces.

After carving and sanding, started to look better....

Covered with thin fiberglass, applied with water based PU varnish. More sanding and painting....

And finally some stickers and colour touches... Can't wait to try it....

Very nice job. Can't wait to see it fly.

Can I borrow your time machine? Couple things I would like to review.

Flew it last weekend..... A little bit too hard to fly for me... Too much control travel (even with a LOT of expo)... Unstable in roll...

Will try again this weekend with increased wing area...

See you guys at the field.
