Beautiful bird. Beautiful flight
Many thanks
Amazing sound the engines make!
😎
What a fantastic plane! Looks so realistic when flying. (and on the ground of course)
😎
Brilliant all round ! Love the captioned comments by Kool on these maiden flights ( please add more ! ) - always something to be learned from experienced pilots.
Thanks, will do!
AWESOME!!! Congratulations on an amazing project/build!!! As always, GREAT job Koko!!!
😎
This brings back so many memories of watching this magnificent plane flying around the Kitty Hawk when I was on watch, and I would have a little free time! Thank you guys!
Thank you for watching!
It flew fantastic, such a treat to have David bring these masterpieces to Montana Jets each year. Plus we have a great time.
😎👍
VF 41 Black Aces and VF 84 Jolly Rogers were the 1st Tomcats to fly off Nimitz 77-78 Med my last deployment, the continued to deploy on Nimitz well into the 90s.
😎
Congrats Jon/David. Another beautiful build! I was waiting for the sonic boom after he swept the wings ;-)
No Kidding! Bad A$$!
Beautiful ! perfect ! and what a Blue Sky !
Congratulations on a great jet !
Thanks!
Love it.....VF-41 the Black Aces. I was a jet engine mechanic with them 78-82.
Very cool! Thanks for watching!
That pilot is smoking good! So is the guy that built it..Lol! What a great aircraft and test flights. And what a freaking collection!
Thank you! KOOL on the Sticks!
That first swept wing banked pass! Wow!! Just awesome!
Oh yea!!!!!🙌
Great flying jet. Looked so smooth in the air. In both wing configurations.
Absolutely Beautiful Jonathan!!
Fred Weaver
Many thanks!
Hats off to all those involved. Outstanding!
Thank you!
Excellent. What a build, what a plane, what a pilot.
Kool on the sticks!
This field looks like the default RealFlight spot. Wonderful job guys, love it
Thanks for watching
Congratulations - watching it from the build table to the flight line was very satisfying. The wing sweep bank fly by was fantastic .😁
Thanks Sal! Very rewarding to see the whole process!
Great skills on the sticks especially pn the landing. No wabbling just smooth, greased landings
Kool on the sticks!
Amazing
Thanks for watching!
stunning
Thank you! 😊
Can't wait to get it on video 😊
🙌
Great to see her in the air - so stable when wings are swept!
For sure! Always a happy day when you sweep the wings and they come forward again as they are supposed to!😂
@@thelightersideofrc What about the CG position with sweeping wings ? Does it stay at the same place or different trimming needed ? Thanks, David.
I hear the Top Gun music playing when I see that beast... Sounds phenomenal!
😎🥳
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.
All part of the rush!
@@thelightersideofrc This is why I keep building smaller RC stuff and will never do a turbine... maybe if I had "stupid money"... but I'll keep working on my Bates 1/5th SBD...
Outstanding shipmates. Press on. USS Kitty Hawk CV-63. Jan 1980 to July 1983. RC er for life.
😎🙌
I’ve loved RC planes since I was a little guy back in the ‘60’s . I’ve always wondered though about how the operator knows when the craft is low on fuel ? It’s probably a stupid question for seasoned experts, but I’ve never had the opportunity to fly a craft and learn the basics . Thanks .
Great question! So typically it's done on time. You may do the first flight with 5 min on the timer, land and check levels. If you can add another minute or 2 it is usually visible in remaining fuel volume. Now, many turbines as part of the telemetry will show fuel volume used/remaining. So you can program 5L of tank volume, setup various warnings, 50% remaining, 30% etc. Very accurate and helpful!
@@thelightersideofrc thanks so much ! Your craft is amazing !
😎😊
Love the homage to VF-41 with the paint scheme.
😎
It looks like real ! + It sounds like real ! = AWESOME
Thanks for watching!
Check your six! There's a Black Ace among you!😉
😂🙌
Excellent job. Great building and good pilot for amazing and beautiful plane
Thank you!
Awesome video.. Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you!
Congrats maiden flight F-14 XXL. Looking good, impressive in flight nice landing.
Thanks a lot!
@@thelightersideofrc welcome looked great in flight & landing.
Absolutely beautiful in flight. I love seeing this. Thank you!!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Fantastic plane! Great job Jonathan!
Kudos to the camera man/woman. Superb job!
Thanks! Any usually get better footage when i'm not flying and i'm behind the camera😂😉
Followed since u got it. Congratulations and what an amazing aircraft! Man that landing I watched 5x times. That turn radius and smooth landing. Crazy! Really needs an onboard camera!
Thanks for following along! KOOL on the sticks is Fantastic!
Pretty work guys !!!
😎
ABSOLUTLY GORGEOUS plane
😎🙌
Outstanding, nothing else needs said. ❤
Thank you!
Hello de toute Beauté !!!! c une machine magnifique ! Merci pour le partage ... Stéph de FRANCE .
Thank you!☺
you sir are a legend....
Thanks!
Amazing! Congrats!!
Thanks!
It sounds and looks amazing
☺
perfect !
Thanks!
Air break tapping on turn
😎
Awesome Aircraft, AMAZING Pilot!
😎
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.
😎
Fabulous! Great job!
Thank you!
Ooh I gets 1 those 🤜🤛🤙👍🌈⚡
😎🙌
Landing looked like a real carrier landing.
🙌
Awesome! Pity the sound wasn't scaled down as well!
🙌
With that cost, you could have bought a super tele-zoom lens..which cost less than a thousand..that will give your viewers more joy in seeing it bigger up there..
😂 Thanks for the tip! Clearly you have never tried to video a moving model plane!
Sounds amazing
The beautiful sound of twins!
Beautiful maiden
Thanks!
Turn an burn after burner
😳👍🙌
Absolutely amazing 🙌🏻🙏🏻🚀
KOOL on the sticks is stunning!
Any thoughts on what caused the initial gear issue? Personally, I wouldn't fly it again until I felt confident the problem was resolved. But I'm chicken. 😳 But loved seeing it in the air.
Yes. The two main doors intersect with eachother. Some sanding resolves the issue.
Most are tent RC video. I’ve seen in a while good job. It is so realistic.
I meant authentic!!!!
😎🙌
Thanks for watching!
Bravo....NICE pilot
Thanks for watching!
It honestly looks like it flies very easy for how big it is
Very light and floaty!
at 11:19 amazing, awesome
😎🙌
Great flight and successful build with Tomcat!
Where was second landing?
Only caught snippets of the second flight! I wanted to see it NOT through the camera
Stunning peice of kit Team. Flys like on Rails and then some.😅😂
Thanks Nick! 😊
For what that cost have you could be getting into a real 152 with your name on the reg.
BORING! Much more exciting to fly this.
👌👏
😎
❤👍👍👍
😎
How do you get pne of those? I've wanted one for so long!
It's a fairly large process but can all be ironed out! Shoot me an email if your interested!
Awesome,! Does it turn right?! 😮😅😊 lol.
It does. just not on the first setup flights!☺
Very very cool! Alittle above my pay grade but awesome 👍. Lol
😎
Cool 😎
Thanks for watching!
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.
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
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.
I've been thinking about getting a Skymaster Rc plane. Where do you get them? I can't find a place to purchase one.
Contact Doug at jetnorthjets.com
@@thelightersideofrc Thanks!
Has anyone gotten a top speed reading?
Not a fast plane.
Pilot must watch Nascar with left turning only 😅
for the first flights it's nascar only.
How do you not include the start up?!!
Easy! You just don't include it in the video edit!
@@thelightersideofrc but that’s one of the best parts! Best sound in the world are turbines starting up!
Flies like a slow bus. But sweet
Gentle flier!
Does Koko do all your test flights ?
Probably, when it's his Dads jet. 😊
With this process he does the first flights of the years fleet for this customer.
@@thelightersideofrc Got it. Smooth pilot, I can see why.
Does that thing have real jet engines in it
It does! 2 x 240N miniature turbine engines!
Do the wings swing ?? If not then just a waste of time and $$$ imo. It is nice though I wouldn't have spent the $$ and time
Maybe instead of watching just long enough to make a stupid comment you should watch the wing swing portion of the flight! Just a thought!
Just build one big enough you can get in and fly yourself? Lol. How much fuel does it hold and how much does that cost? I saw you weigh it and you said 100 pounds, but was that total weight or just the fuel?
total weight with fuel is 99.7 lbs. to put this together your in the range of 35-40k USD
@@thelightersideofrc I meant how much does a full tank of fuel cost? Curious about running expenses. I’ve heard they are pretty high.
@shaunkelly9053 ahh. Jet a is about 2-2.50 per L. Plus oil. So if you put in 10 L of fuel your about $30. Will likely use 7-8L in flight
@@thelightersideofrc what’s the burn rate? How long will 10L last?
Fantastic model. VERY boring video! Half the length would still have been too long - watching it circle over and over again!
Thanks! This video is NOT for someone like you! It's for those that have followed the assembly of this beautiful model and want to see the first flight! First flights on an aircraft are never exciting!
Wow you just took me back 25 years. I used to work in those sky pigs, but at that time there was nothing in the world that could go nose to nose with the F-14 twin tail cat, still a gorgeous lady, ashame they didn’t give her the modifications, and upgrades that were originally made for her to step into, it would blow your mind but there is another model of F-14 fixing to be unveiled. Gotta shut up.
Very cool Memories!
Now we need to catch a 3 wire....
😂😎
