February 13, 201510 yr To be honest I was wondering where this thread was going. But wow! What a great looking model came out of this
February 13, 201510 yr While I totally understand what Lipko means. I can see myself sitting on the couch with that thing on the table messing around with that vector thrusting
February 14, 201510 yr To my mind, this would be equivalent to building either of the first two models described here http://technicopedia.com/8485.html, but with the Control Center replaced by the IR Receivers/SBrick. The fact that the model is stationary does not make it any less remote-controlled.
February 14, 201510 yr Author That's just 2 motors out of 4, without gearbox. I will try to complete mechanics render today. More pictures to follow. Edited February 14, 201510 yr by Omikron
February 14, 201510 yr Author Complete mechanics Color code: RED - Thrust Pitch, canards, slats GREEN - Thrust Yaw, rudder BLUE - Roll ORANGE - Gearbox PURPLE - Canopy TURQUOISE - Radar LIME - Landing gear DARK TAN - Air brakes I've attached the LDR file from LeoCAD. So if you want to roam around - feel free to explore! (there might be some minor mistakes/errors since it is my first digital build) SAAB Jas 39 Gripen X.ldr Edited February 15, 201510 yr by Omikron

The fact that the model is stationary does not make it any less remote-controlled. A good point. And I agree with a previous post as well... I too would love to just sit and play with something like this. So cool!
February 16, 201510 yr Was worth the wait. Jets are wickedly awesome and you have done it justice. Gotta watch the vid again. :thumbup:
February 16, 201510 yr I congratulate you, this is truly an amazing model, both in design and functionality, and the sheer complexity of the mechanics make me feel humble and eager to learn :)

Very impressive!!!!!! Thank you! Here are some photos that were not published yet. The gun Notice that the wings are straight, the weight is distributed evenly through the special frame to keep them so. Nose cone is one of my favorite parts of the MOC. Took me a while to design the final shape with all those angles and symmetry. The thin red line was added to spice things up a little bit, besides LEGO's white and red combination looks good.
February 17, 201510 yr This model is very rich on functions, well done! My suggestion is that you need to wait for the upcoming Fire Plane set and use half cut panels from it to improve this project.
