That is an awesome little plane, I fell in love with the VV when I was a kid. The single-slotted screws in the panel are triggering me though - I need to get a life.
What an unusual aircraft. The only thing that makes me 'concerned' about is the propeller being constantly in the exhaust stream at that mid section where it is stained. For the AOA, I'll bet you could use a fuel level sender and gauge to make a needle indicator instead of tge lights. Thanks for another walkaround.
@@ErikJohnston Thank you! They look good! Amazing how good the cameras have become these days. They save a ton of headaches! Will you be at Wings over Dallas next week? I'm a hobby photo/videographer. Would love to meet you and say hello!
@@OpenFilmmaker I probably will be. Not sure what days though. Normally my plate is pretty full so I don’t always have time to meet up. But looking forward to seeing what you shoot
Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder, but everyone is entitled to their opinion. Are there other planes that are faster, a little safer, or more efficient? - won't argue that for a second. It has always been my favorite plane - bar none. I was 7 years old when it first flew. Information for the Variviggen was around the house because my Dad was interested in his newest design, the Variese. At a young age and into Sci-fi, the VariViggen captured my imagination and interest - Wow, what a futuristic looking aircraft. To me it looked like a combination aircraft/spacecraft. Looking at Burt Rutan's career, the irony of my young thoughts still brings me a smile. Awesome restoration of a beautiful plane (imho) - extremely well done RAFE.
