Hello,
We received the plane last week. I just wanna say that the kit is really impressive. Scale details are amazing.
From now the best F-14 in the market nowadays.
I am gonna fly it this week. I will post about how the plane flys.
I keep you informed,

Raúl

Hello Raul.
The detail quality is better than FEJ?
Best regards.

Single engine flight is not a problem just be carful to use rudder with high power and slow speeds.

Anton,
Great job! I am very impressed!
Testing every situation is commendable. You are raising the bar and setting a great example of how R&D should be done. R&D at the factory and not by the customers! Doing so much more than a fancy paint job!
This kind of stuff speaks volumes!!
Excellent work!!

Awesome. The elevator install is brilliant. As long as it doesn't FEJ the plane, I'm sold.

i think the 12-14kg thrust should be perfect, the F14 like a glider very easy to fly, and the swept wings flight like a delta jet also easy to Landing. after test fly by twin P-100 that i will let you know the news..TKS

Very good work Anton!!
You can tell you guys put allot of thought into this plane including how to get it to and from the flying field and ease of maintaining the plane yet still make it scale with hidden linkages on the rudders. Well done!!!!

Is that an Actuator pushing and pulling the wings?
