Thanks again for the great work, I love mine. Only issue is the grass debris blocking the fod. I saw at the end of your video a nice protection made of a grid and kind of frame, can you share a bit more info on that, a potential STL file you can share ? Thanks
I designed a frame and then covered that with aluminium mesh as used on household flyscreens. I never released the files for the FOD guard because they never really worked well and had moved onto other projects so ran out of time to redesign it
@@ticketec Many thanks, will find out that mesh. Thanks again for sharing this inspiring video and the STL file. I really enjoy flying this F-14 with the Xicoy 45. Only mod, I used 2 500 cm3 tanks as I found they fit more easily .
Nice job and thanks for the sharing ideas in the video. We want to do a B-1 conversion also. I sent you 2 PM in RCG. My email address is there. Thanks and great job. Looks great!
Very nice work. I’m building this plane with a UMS 180. Wondering if you could give me some feedback on how you mounted the motor? It seems the right lower hole will be outside the engine box if mounted on the datum line of the airplane. I was using fusion to design a new firewall and was just wondering how you worked that out! Really beautiful work man!
I used an 18mm spacer block to mount the engine on the standard firewall. The bolt that goes along the edge of the firewall has its recessed head in the back of that block and the nut on the engine mount side. you can then use a "normal" bolt though the spacer block through the firewall in a more convenient position.
Great video. I am collecting my new HSD T33 Turbine next week. Could I ask about the Spektrum set up you used. Does the AS3X / Gyro function same as it does on EDFs and does the after burner LED work with Spektrum setup via the MFC 8085. Appreciate any feedback, can’t find much info elsewhere. Regards.
Anyone know where I can purchase a FW190 Spinner like on this plane? I'm located in the states near Austin Texas. Gator rc is out of stock on the 3 blade which is about 4.5" diameter? Thanks Fred
I have seen one fly with the 125cc and it was fairly marginal on power. I would recommend use only 2 blade prop, to get the maximum out of the engine. The 180 flies comfortably on just over 1/2 throttle
Nice flight mate. What's the build quality like on this jet? Tossing up between this one and the AF mb339 seems this one comes in not as hot as th AF and a little more relaxing to land.
You could add a little more fuel, but then the weight goes up and you need to burn off that fuel to get the same performance. Most pilots don’t fly more than 6-8mins, and this is enough fuel for that long.
I would like to ask, what scale is the twin 40mm F-14? I plan on doing custom graphics for mine but I can't seem to figure out the scale of the airplane.
The thrust line of the turbine is offset to the center line of the aircraft, this means there is a pitching moment in the turbines thrust vector. A dead straight turbine thrust line causes all these under-slung turbines to make the aircraft climb almost uncontrollably. The supplied STL mount angle is correct to within about 1 degree which gives next to no pitch change with throttle changes during flight.
@@aviationunlimited4353 NO mods required. I flew it with stock servos everywhere,but have since upgraded the elevator servos because the whole elevator system has too much slop and this can cause issues with wings swept back flight
Hello Tiketec, this is an old video, hope you can reply, I am planning to get the black horse fw190 but with UMS 125 instead of 180. Any opinion if that will be underpowered, lower limit ?
Beautiful sky, beautiful plane, and great flying control. I love seeing videos of modelers who can actually precisely fly the planes they build. Great scale takeoff and landing.
I used a K30 G2 on my F14 conversion and it flew just fine. I now have X45's and it would be the perfect engine! I used 6 degrees down thrust and it seemed about right, plus a single 750mm tank directly in front of the swing wing mechanism.
Wunderbares Modell und Hochleistungs Jagtflugzeug des 2.Weltkriegs ❤ echt Klasse gemacht, und tolle Filmperspecktiven, aber bei soviel Genauigkeit hätte man doch auch die Bordwaffen Kanonenrohre in den Tragflächenwurzel sehen sollen.
Great conversion and video. Any chance you could let me know the turbine angle you finally used in relation to the flat on the bottom of the aircraft? I do not do printing and prefer to do things like this the old fashioned way...plywood and/or aluminum. Thank you.
