My original Gripen 64 had the “Magic” sauce. Everyone went nuts over it. My new version uses the same basic ingredients with all the scale details and panel lines my old one was missing. Building this bird and handling it is worth all the time printing. Then you fly it and it’s on rails.
You can fly this Gripen on 4s or 6s. 4s feel lighter and more floaty. 6s flies with more power but more wing loading. After doing both it’s a toss up but I’d choose the 4S
