Blacksedan87 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 That is just about the coolest thing I've ever seen! The F-14 Tomcat is my favorite fighter, too! Awesome plane! I got the chance to get up close to one and watch a couple in an airshow once back in Chicago. Too bad they have started retiring them.....Thanks for sharing that, Phil!

Quiktrip Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Makes me want to break out my planes and fly again. It's been about 7 years since I've flown them. I have a F-14 Tomcat but it is smaller and uses a prop motor instead of turbine. That vid was excellent!! Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desertdawg Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 If you watch the overhead flyby it actually sweeps the wings back, last time I read anything about them they were still trying to get it to work....Like Robert, I need to get my crap together and do some more flying, mine are all prop scale stuff...Here was the last one I built for a snowbird here......

Guest UVETTYA Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Cool Vid Phil. Thanks for sharing. They used to use ducted fan units when I was flying RC but now they have real jet engines. I have an attic full of RC gear but it's 15 yr old stuff and all outdated now. I have some antique engines and gear from my father's era... 1950's and 60's.

Take-offs are optional... landings are mandatory.Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
