We’ll release twin turbines with elevons version(under 20kg). Salts,flaps and speed brake will be optional parts and you can select them as you like.
Yay! I will be one of the first to order. Saving my pennies now...

ORIGINAL: Rush!

Would the SM version have slats, flaps and speedbrakes? I have noticed with the F14 that landing it is a bear w/o changing the wing configuration to allow for increased lift.

Also, how does she behave when the wings are swept back? The pressure point changes and i have noticed that she will nose down due to that and you need to run separate trims for wings open and wings closed positions?

Great pics! would love to see it in jolly rodger colors!

uggh... do people not realize there was more than ONE F-14 squadron?
There was also more then one Jolly Rodgers VF-84 and VF-103, and some of the others have even cooler paint..

Hi, all

To get correct measurement of CG of F-14 with swept wing and have Dr. Li Kai design the super construction of main wing., at high cost, Skymaster tested F-14 with swept wing in take-off, flying and landing. We tested to make customers feel more confident about Skymaster F-14.Skymaster doesn’t release F-14 at random until F-14 is fully tested and perfect enough. Sorry to make you wait for a long while. F-14 release will be delayed till the next year.

Video coming soon,

Best regards

Anton

Hi Anton,

Do you have any idea of the final price that the F-14 will stay? What is the deadline for it to be ready to buy?

Dave,

Sorry i do not quite understand your question. Skymaster only make 1 size 1/7.5 scale 100". Sould be good for 2 x 10kg class turbines.

VF-111 or VF-124 would be my choice.. but then I'm a left-coast type who grew up seeing those squadrons on a daily basis at NAS Miramar.

Wow, it flys really nice, even without the wing hatch! I guess its back to the drawing board to get that fixed though. Keep up the good work. I would love to have one of these one day.

VERY NICE ANTON!!

This model is prototype and the large hatch too soft. Impossible to land with hatch off and wings swept back. Anton will make new flight with take off and landing with wings back. Looking forward to the release....looking good so far.
