I use the 80mm 12 blade with the 3658kv 1920 kv , and 120 amp hobbywing esc. Before I try the 9b 1920 and the 12b 1857kv. Installed In F14, Mig 29, Avanti, Griphen, Mig21, F5. And i love much more than the original combo. Ok more amp draw but now the vertical is more than ok 😉
Technically, the Freewing F-14 is a D model “Super Tomcat” already. (At least in terms of the airframe design) But, I see what you did there, and I must say, it looks even better with the upgrades (if that’s possible!)
@@aerospacematt9147 We generally don't believe in adding wing loading for additional thrust. The idea is to reduce weight, not add to it. The model is already extremely heavy. Adding an 8s system to it is not going to help any stall characteristics.
Very informative video, decent footage with multiple view added through was very nice. The FW F-14 Tomcat is a expert level jet for the seasoned pilot. The intermediate level pilot would have there hands full and probably end up crashing it in a stall. The upgrades are wonderful and as you stated much needed. Alpha/ Motion RC should probably offer a V2 of this with the upgrades installed. Including the landing gear beef up.Would it be worth the price increase?
We're sorry you don't like the current prices of foam aircraft, but we're not a customer service portal and have no interest in arguing about prices. If you find them unacceptable, simply don't buy them.
Hi guys, great video, great tips! I'm thinking about making the engine upgrade. Did you use the stock fan with the inrunner motors or did you use the one that are in kit ( the one in the link you posted)? Plus, can you provide the link for afterburner light? Thx
@TwoBrosRC oh, any particular reason? I see the just airframe go up often and I've seen the reviews. To me it seems like with the FWD swept wings people don't know how drastically the CG and center of lift shift on them. I know Banana hobby has some iffy reviews but like I said I've really contemplated on getting just the airframe and putting in spektrum servos and a much needed power upgrade, along with the proper location of CG with Center of lift (that the totally fun part) on it. I know the SU-47 isn't particularly are favored aircraft cause it looks wrong 😅 it's on top to me with the F-14, F-104, P-63, and P-38 lightning.
@@TwoBrosRC yeah and I guess I don’t need telemetry on it. I am looking at buying the ARF model and building it right from the start with power upgrades and the gear upgrades. Is this the main video for your build or do you have something on the forums kind of laying out your specs?
Having started in the hobby with cars, that use inrunner motors, never could really understand why most planes use outrunners and what the benefits of each type are.
Inrunner vs outrunner is really just a choice of what's suitable for a specific application. Here's a good overview: www.radiocontrolinfo.com/brushless-inrunner-vs-outrunner-motor/
Guys motion rc have a new f16, only a 64mm , handy bird to have when you've aload of 4s 2200's.would like to see what its capable of with you guys on the sticks
This is a FW 90mm F22 question. When I land the plane it will coast straight for the first 10 feet and then veer sharply and then tip. When it taxi’s or takes off it tracks straight. Any suggestions?
@@jbgamers1627 no, maybe you misunderstood what I’m describing. It’s not a stall because I’ve landed and as it rolls out after 10feet from perfect landing it veers sharply. I don’t think you can stall once it’s on the ground 🤣
@@TwoBrosRC If he just want's to fly F-14, he can also buy the e-flite model or the flite test thing but the Freewing is another leveln, even if not top notch b.c. that title goes to the Skymaster F-14
Technically, this was not a Cobra. If you fly straight and do a cobra, the angel has to be greater than 90 but most ppl don't know that for some reason :D
@@TwoBrosRC I'm sorry but it has to be be. The definition is that the plane is in level flight and than pitches at least vertical (90°) while remaining at almost level flight, and then levels to a regular flight attitude. Everything else is not a cobra manouver and you can do your own research about that maneuver that is also known as "Pougachev maneuver". I also have to add that this fact dosn't make your video and flight skills less impressive.
@@friendlyreptile9931 There is no requirement to exceed 90 AoA for a cobra maneuver. All that's required is a vertical pitch up moment without gaining much altitude, with a return to level controlled flight. Anything else is embellishment.
@@TwoBrosRC I have to disagree on that.The reason why it's called cobra, is b.c. the snake "stands" almost straight up with it's head a bit to it's back to scare away predators. It was first flown by "Viktor Pugatschov" and seen by the world at the "Le Bourget" airshow in 1989. His definition is that you have to reach between 100°-130° and since he invented it, that is also the official definition that you can find with just a bit of research. The AoA limiter of the SU27, limit's the AoA to 29° and needs to be manualy turned off to archive that. I know that a lot of people call stuff like we see in this video "cobra" and say "the F22 can do it b.c. it has thrust vectoring" but it's both wrong. The reason why the SU27 is able to archive that (it has no thrust vectoring), is that the plane is build in a way that it flies very instable without the computer system b.c. it is designed tailheavy.
@@friendlyreptile9931 It was invented by Swedish Draken pilots and was demonstrated long before any Russian pilot performed the maneuver. You're welcome to disagree but every valid source we use for aerobatic performances does not require 120 AoA.
Excellent video brother Jon! So so well done. You have come a long way. Very well narrated and your changes are very fairly explained. Great edit, and a great airplane. You have really brought out more from the F-14 than they ever intended. To me...this is the best video you've done that I've seen.
Thanks so much Adam. It was very painful recording this one because COVID caused a persistent cough that makes it difficult to speak, much less record audio. I had to do a bunch of voice compression and adjustments to sound even semi-normal. Very much looking forward to being able to talk properly again.
