Looks great! The nose gear detail with nose gear steering unit, holdback fitting, nose gear actuator, etc., is just superb.
Regards,
Gus

Anton,

Have you been able to put stress on the airframe and rear fuselage components?

It is clear that the wings and spars have been statically and dynamically tested. How about the rear sections? Specifically the elevators and the vertical stabs?

I hope I can another SM jet to my fleet some day!

there were a bunch of videos a while back that looked like he was flying it hard. Even landed it with the wings swept back. This plane looks awesome!

The strip they use is a good test of ground handling.

Anton is this a option? Can you still get the normal drive for elevators?

Anton, Now that is how it should be done! How many slat tracks are supporting the slats and how will the flaps be hinged? Thanks for posting these pics, it shows your commitment to building a sound structure that will stand the stresses we apply!

What type of wing actuators are you guys using? I've heard nightmares about those electric actuators.

Anton, any idea what the dry weight is? I was thinking twin 140s would be about right for this one but I noticed your using 180s, thanks

Hi Fender,

Yes 140 will be perfect. Likai always like to stress the airframe a bit...

It is 22kg with the k180's. I will install 2 x k100's in the tail. it should be under 20kg i hope...

Anton, congratulations on the maiden. I am looking forward to the F-14 being put through some aerobatic flying. I will order one as soon as that milestone has been met. I hope this model does the F-14 justice.
