- My Brother gave me a E-Flite F-14 Tomcat twin 40mm for Christmas! Question I had... is a twin 40mm EDF worth $300? I think it is a cool RC Plane but I DO believe it is a little overpriced!

I have one also and fully agree with you about the price. I could see $300 if it had rudders and maybe make it a little bit bigger and have twin 50's
I am happy with it though because It's a cool little EDF and my 15 year old Daughter loves to fly it.
Refreshing to watch a review of an HH product where the reviewer doesn't rave about how absolutely wonderful and life-changing their overpriced piece of foam is. Might still pick it up now that it's $270 but I really wish the stock receiver/esc would allow for differential thrust if they weren't gonna bother giving it rudders. Thanks for keeping it honest!
It’s kinda hard to be both against and for the price. the 64mm F15 (also no rudder) got bumped up to $250. for $50 more you get the F14. at that price difference it’s basically what you prefer. both are somewhat decent first jets
Inflation … unreal. Got my F18 50mm for a steal
@@Jays_rcgarage i’m talkin about the eflite f15 64mm. Eachine has been hit or miss for me. only lasting product i got from them was the helicopters
@@Sosaman210 ahhh! I had that F15. Totaled it a while back and made a hover boat out of it 😂
Great 👍 Flight Ace, looks like a great possible FPV platform maybe…?
In a word no !
After all it’s just foam and a few cheap Chinese parts
Great video bro ,these long videos are better 👍
Thanks man! Im working on it, still new to me !
@@Jays_rcgarage your doing good ,also huge thanks to the camera crew ,he did a good job to
Thanks for your honest opinion and I wouldn't pay 159
Not feeling it. I love the F14 but I think eflite dropped the ball with this model @ $300
I would rather buy the FMS 64mm rafale
I cannot keep the swing wings connected to the servo arms. After One flight the wings keep disconnecting. Thinking about fixing the wings in the forward position. Not happy about it.
Hey you should do this more often it's the first time I've ever seen your video pop up that's not a short. I'm kind of interested to see what you mean about a mix that adds a rudder.
Thanks! Working on the long form, the mix is Ail>rud I believe. Have to check later. Essentially it just makes the ailerons move when you use the rudder.. for someone like me who is use to steering with rudder it will help simulate the feel on a 3 channel plane.
Yeah I agree I got one myself and its a bit overpriced. I would say $199 the most. Oh btw watch those wings they are designed to pop out of the clevis when you tilt during landing. Its a bit of pain in the ass to get that wing top off bc the screws are very small, so have spares bc I will bet most will be taking the top off to reset the wing alot.
Hilarious you are saying this. Yesterday as I was taxing this in the wind flipped it and it happened to my left wing. Reset the clevis this morning!
@@Jays_rcgarage yup and it will happen again. Happy New Year
I'm converting mine to a magnetic attachment for the top cover. This design is an epic fail. One little snag at the field and you're taking 4 micro screws out to fix?!? On a rudderless model?!? Ridiculous. Removing that cover should take no longer than resetting the wing connection. They should've made it so you don't need to remove the cover to reset. Engineers were on holiday. Not the best $300 I've spent.
Maybe center the camera at the center of gravity.
Yes, we all hate $300 for it, but you only imagine how much of a hassle e flite had to go to make it
Yeah, made this over a year ago. I may revisit this plane soon and give it another shot
Yup, no rudder is the biggest drawback on most planes this size. I always respect 50-64mm edf planes of this size with a rudder.
good honest review - I think they should have gone and made a twin 50mm so it is just a little bit bigger...
Maybe they could also add little retractes wouldn’t that be cool
If you can separate the ESC's to 2 separate channels in the reciever, you can mix them back together with differential thrust. That will give you a rudder type feel. Just go easy, otherwise it will turn into a Frisbee!! Lol As for the price, I totally agree!! It's 1/2 the price of the Freewing twin 80!!
True and i would love to get the Freewing *BUT*: To big for my car, 6S packs are much to expensive for me and if you add all that stuff together, than it's okay for this plane.
The reciever and ESC's are all on a premanufactured board
I got one off ebay for half the price and glad I didn't have to pay retail. Little disappointed with performance being it's a jet. I like speed and this doesn't deliver that. Also lack of rudders. $200 would be a fair price IMO
Yeah your right brother it is a little high price it flys good though
WOW!😮. Do they make that plan with a gyro? I think i heard the gyro. Makes it easy to fly,
They did lower the cost, $270 not bad
I agree. I want one bad but waiting until it comes down in price. It seems all their planes are overpriced. I saved up for a spectrum radio 10 channel and then all the drones quit releasing with a spectrum option. I see Eflight and spectrum need to up their game as their products are losing prestige and respect quickly.
It appears to almost be a UMX plane by the sound of the servos.
Just about !!
600$ in New Zealand not worth the price and not put together very well from factory I had to add a heap of glue as lots was loose
Nett aber als Fighter Jet, wenn das Fahrwerk nicht eingezogen werden kann, oh man schlecht.
Viper 70mm 10x better than this.
I have that also! And yes. It is better, especially for the price. But the F-14 is iconic! And easier to fly in this size. I also fly the 90mm viper which is AMAZING !!
try turning off auto focus when filming flying rc planes. You might find it to be a lot better.
Nope! Your paying $300 to watch the wings goo in n out...Tiny cant see it in the sky very bland and plain looking
Agreed 🤝
Yea bro its to much for it...but i have one
What the hell is that audio issue?
Where? Just watched it quick and audio seems fine
Thank you Jay, I'm glade I wasn't the only one thinking this plane is waaaaaaaaay over priced. $229 is still to much, maybe $189 and even then I'd wait for a sale lol. I am in no way cheap but come HH. I have 2 UMX citations, 2 UMX A10s and a UMX turbo timber and after buying a Blitzwerks 1.1M T28 I feel like I over paid for them and I feel my 50mm F18 amd F16 are better values.
Thanks for watching ! Agree. The UMX citation and A10 are awesome little planes. But for $200 there are some better options for sure !
Simple answer is NO its not.
Why
it's a too much expensive toys for childrens
Over priced toy.
