Default Another Fly Eagle F-14 Tomcat

I missed out on a pre-BITW maiden, so I had to do it after the event was over. Here is some video of the second flight. Nothing too "rigorous" yet, but I did sweep the wings. Overall, I'm very impressed with the plane. No stab/rudder flutter or wings stalling on landing. It's very stable with the wings out... when I swept the wings it was a handful, so I'll need to make a few adjustments and try again. The Tomcat is powered by 2 Jetcat P-140RXs which provide plenty of blow. Thanks to Lowell, B1Bob, Ali, and EDF Jim for giving me tips for a successful maiden and Ian for the awesome build.
