Tips and recommendations

Being that I am not the best builder, there are some performance issues. Rear landing gear has no suspension, so landing must be very careful. During takeoff the aircraft might also veer slightly to one side. In order to make the Viggen maneuverable, I had to make it a little more unstable.

The missiles, while able to lock on to a target without looking, can only turn so much in a short distance. Recommended to fire only when target is within the targeting circle in cockpit view, or directly in front of the aircraft.

Fun Fact

The Viggen was designed to be an STOL capable aircraft; And it was also responsible for escorting an SR-71 Blackbird while it had technical issues.

It's not the shortest take off ever, but I tried my best to make it happen. The camo is just decorative and will not harm aircraft performance in any way, so have fun and happy flying.
