Hi All,

A friend sent me some photo's of a 13B powered, streched, vari-viggen

inspired

project he ran

accross out in British Columbia a few weeks ago.  If you want to see the

photos goto

 http://eaa154.dhs.org/perry/other_13B/index.shtml  and click on

Viggen1.JPG,

Viggen2.JPG &

Viggen3.JPG.  Sorry I don't have more details but he mentioned the

workmanship

was very

good and from 100 yards away it was still LOUD.

Hi Perry;

Now this is very strange, good news to me.....For as far as I know the ONLY all
metal Viggen ever built was by Joe Rayne of Clinton, Michigan on 1983 and it's
maiden flight was reported on January 1984.......The plane was lost in a crash
sometime after due to pilot error I believe. This is very interesting and
important to me.....Would appreciate it very much if you could get me more
information from your friend, or perhaps I can contact him directly??

Here's an attachment from my records.

BTW,......That Viggen is not really stretched, just the nose was streamlined.

                                   Many Thanks Perry, you've made my day.
