    I watched the build of this. Estimated costs around 35k total (including radio and turbines), and I 100% get nervous about that test flight. ONE thing goes wrong and a small car in costs is mostly eliminated... for good.

    Man I would love to fly this. I love the F-14, I never got to fly the real one BUT in Topgun Hard Lock on Xbox, im 1st place nation wide in every category, AND in Ace Combat 6 and 7, im beating the breaks off my opponents.
    With the F-14 D in Ace Combat 7, I actually won 1st place in a free for all. Its a big deal because I didn't know you could hyper mod every aspect of the fighter in Player vs Player mode, and I had no mods at all.

  • @moonmullins8227
    @moonmullins8227 2 дня назад

    Call me old school, but a first flight should also include a relatively high slow flight, high alpha, and maybe an approach to stall to see the behavior in those regimes of flight. Will high alpha cause a flame out, will it abruptly snap at a higher airspeed than anticipated, things like that. Yes it makes a beautiful fly by no doubt, but how is control response at high alpha slow speed, what is the throttle to angle of attack profile like. I always want to know my flight envelope on both ends of the spectrum. Look into a full size EAA flight syllabus and take a few points to import into your first flights. Make it a real test flight. Not to take away from your awesome job of building and flying that big critter. Also as a old school Naval Aircrewman, love the Tomcat.

    • @jacklets3851
      @jacklets3851 2 дня назад +2

      I believe the same pilot who flew this jet already has experience flying the same model so he most likely already knows how it’s going to fly. I could be wrong. This channel has another video of this exact same model in red and it looks like the same pilot flying it

    • @thelightersideofrc
      @thelightersideofrc  День назад +1

      Same pilot did the maiden of the first one last year. That one was the smaller version. For a Pilot like KOOL all of the extra stuff is not needed at all. First flight. Get it up and trimmed in all conditions and get it down safe. No time for anything more than that generally.
