FT Viggen Flight at FliteFest OH18

Here is a 3 minute flight of my FT Viggen at FliteFest Ohio 2018. This FT Viggen is reskinned in 0.74 oz fiberglass.

There is interesting story behind this Viggen. I have had this model for some time but was kinda scared to finish it and fly it. So, I finished it to fly at the FreeFall RC Podcast annual HeliFest 2018 during the noon-hour group fly. I flew it two flights, the maiden and one more, and the motor started making weird noises. Turned out the ESC was loosing it, so I cut the plane apart and installed a 100 A ESC. I flew it once more after painting it.

To be cool during the group fly, I added some streamers to the canards, wing tips and the exhaust duct. The flight at the HeliFest was a disaster - literally, smashing it into the ground 4 times before giving up. Later that day, I removed the streamers and it flew great. One week later I took it to FliteFest Ohio and put it up. Since that time, I have replaced the nose and have flown it 3 more times.
