Default RE: Online store that have it all?

take a look at jai's post on his f-14 on this post: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_88513/mpage_10/tm.htm. He crashed it on its maiden flight and he is a way skilled builder and flier. Granted he scratch built it, but it doesnt matter, the f-14 will probably be way too complicated, not only for the reasons that siclick said but also for engine out problems. There is no way to make a bifircated system in there, so if one motor were to quit, you would have an ass of adverse yaw, and it would most likely go in. Another problem is the change in cg when the wings go from out to back, that complicates things too. Just some thoughts, i mean hell i want a harrier but for the mean time, its out of my reach. Nick
