If I won the lottery, I wouldn’t tell anyone. However, buying one of these would definitely be a sign.
Same here! Cheers, Desert Fox.
My old neighbor and mentor, Commander Joe Zahalka USN Ret., RIO, F-14, VF-2, VF-213 would have loved this!! He motivated me to a flying career of 47 years and 25,380 hours of flight. The Tomcat is my favorite fighter. Excellent flying. As good as any of the real demo pilots 20 years ago. ANYTIME BABY! Go NAVY.
Thank you so much for the wonderful comments sir. This just made my day - Chetan Saraf
Wow! what an awesome comment, thanks for sharing.
Impressive Tomcat as well as the scale-like flying.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!
Beautiful model and flying . Very crisp maneuvering
Very realistic
Great job 😁👍
Many thanks!!
Best flying of an RC Tom
Chetan does fly it well.
This is the longest I’ve seen anyone fly a tomcat swept. Well done, great flight and the maneuver precision was on point.
It just shows how comfortable he is becoming with the flight characteristics of this magnificent scale model.
Yes! Longest I’ve seen in swept wing config also. And he actually put it through its paces in that config. Best F14 flight I’ve seen…
Here is Chetan at Joe Nall 2024. Left engine flameout, in flight restart, continued with flight. ruclips.net/video/jPjHUdMZqvc/видео.html
Well done the best I have seen a F14 fly Amazing !!!
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts of Chetan skills at the Skymaster F-14. Cheers! Desert Fox
Great model and excellent flying.
Many thanks!
What an epic model, and well flown!
Thanks Adam, awesome aircraft to see and hear in person.
Chetan's flying is impressive as always
Agreed!
Well done Chet! I saw you fly at Joe Nall. One of the best F-14 flights!
Truly a sight to see in person.
Marvelous!
Glad you enjoyed the view.
what a great pilot and plane ❤
Chetan really shows the F-14 in a scale fashion. And he is still getting acquainted with its flight characteristics.
Amazing.
Glad you think so!
Nice!!
Thanks for the visit
Damn, that landing was fantastic. Any LSO would mark that as good.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Chetan and his F-14. Checkout other videos of his handling of other aircrafts he flies.
An awesome flight, great great flier. It is the first time to see such a flight of the f 14. Great great job!
Glad you enjoyed it
It's amazing how slow you can fly the XXL jets these jets are light an very large . There moving, but not as fast as you thinking because they are light they're light enough that you can see the little wind shifting them with and this wind isn't really heavy out there at the moment .
The dry weight of the Skymaster XXL F-14 is 38kg (83.7756596 lbs.). I don't know the wing loading, but I wouldn't call it light. M2C cheers!
Man this is like really improving to moving around in the air like it's floaty, and you're right the wingload must play a Significant roll in it alongside the lifting body maybe a very close match to this particular jet an it's setup. I know it's large an covers alot of space in the matter of split seconds . Lol it just gets from one area to the other as if it just floated there so calming 😂 this one can have the top gun music an the elevator music at the Jewelry shop 😂 , this jet is Sneakier than stealth man 😂 , I've watched this video at least 6 times. It moves perfectly smooth in whatever Position it's in , it will probably take a knife Edge and that's not even on the scale flying Roster 😂
This dude flew the pants off this bird! damn hes good! Reminds me of Maverick.
Glad you enjoyed the view! Cheers, Desert Fox!
Great flying, especially the controlled landing.
Yeah, thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Masterful job. Love the speed brakes and spoilers. Brakes on the wheels?
Yes, brakes are a requirement on turbine powered model aircraft in the U.S.A. www.modelaircraft.org/system/files/documents/510-A.pdf
Nicely flown nice scale effect with 210s wonder if 235s would add any benefit.
Hello wayneschenk5512, I looked around and found this F-14XXL with K235 power. ruclips.net/video/VB2_nFnYDrc/видео.htmlsi=gCLNN1Yl4TKsQf1Z, ruclips.net/video/iHDibDc3HXg/видео.htmlsi=uOvESt_iT9v6OV7D
Beautiful flight not to be disrespectful but you should add a servo slow to the canopy mechanism to make it look realistic when opening and closing
Videographer here, the original system is air actuated. Chetan is aware of the non-realistic aspect of the opening and closing of the canopy. I am sure he will address the system after evaluating his options.
The stock system is air. The alternative electric option required a lot of mods and the actuator was not instock....it will be changed soon ...
Amazing plane👌🏽👌🏽👍🏾❤ How build this jet from the SkyMaster kit❔
Thanks for the comment. Wonderful kit from Skymaster.
I’d be so confused looking up at this thing from a random place
It truly is impressive to view in person.
