Freewing F-14 Tomcat Twin 80mm EDF Jet Flight Demo & Bonus Footage

This is my buddy tearing up the skies airshow style with his Freewing F-14 Tomcat Twin 80mm EDF Jet. He puts on an excellent flight Flight Demo and it even includes some Bonus Footage at the end, which features the best landing I have been able to get on video for him.

It was like the movie Top Gun with a smaller Grumman F-14 Tomcat Fighter Jet. The only thing that was missing was Goose and Maverick and the other pilots from that great movie! Although John and Bill were there and pilots themselves, so combined they were essentially all of the other Top Gun pilots in two while Odell and I were pretty much Maverick and Goose lol

The pilot also has some really nice RC Warbirds, including this Jet Warbird. I already have video up of his Top Flite Giant Scale Focke Wulf FW-190 and his FMS P-51 Mustang WWII Warbird RC Plane.

The next video I have of his in the pipeline is the 1700mm FMS F4U Corsair WWII Warbird RC Plane Scale Flight with some airshow style moves mixed into.

This is how Motion RC describes it:

"We here at Motion RC are proud to announce our Super Scale F-14D Tomcat! Never before has an electric F-14 been produced in this size and with this high a degree of scale fidelity and quality. Easily one of the most beloved jets in history, we’re especially excited to offer this thrilling F-14D Tomcat. For us and many RC pilots in our customer family, it is a dream come true!

Our team worked tirelessly to develop an RC model which brings the excitement and scale performance of this hallmark aircraft to your local flying field and to appropriately honor the F-14 Tomcat’s rightful place in aviation history. We chose to depict “Bullet 101”, the specially marked F-14D from the VF-2 squadron “Bounty Hunters”, which was painted in the mid-1990s to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the F-14’s service in the United States Navy. This rendition of “Bullet 101” is an appropriate salute to all the personnel who served alongside this breathtaking aircraft throughout its 32 year service to our country.

The signature feature of the real F-14 is its sweeping wing, and we've worked to design this model around this function as well. Where previous foam F-14 models failed, This F14 succeeds. This is due to the lightweight aluminum “Wing Box” that supports a rigid wing in both forward and swept configurations. A sloppy wing can be dangerous and so this F-14 was designed around the Wing Box to distribute the loads across the fuselage and ensure the model could consistently withstand high speed maneuvers without needing any maintenance and adjustment to the wing sweeping mechanisms. The wings pivot on flat bearings to reduce resistance and wear. Electric servoless actuators extend and sweep the wings along a four second span using steel control rods and brass ball links. The result of this design is a dependable, maintenance-free, durable wing sweep feature which when used with our recommended control settings provides pilots with a worthy F-14 flying experience.

Scale fidelity, surface details, and builder-friendliness were also specific areas of focus. The PNP model arrives with the main fuselage completely assembled. All the electronics –servos, EDFs, ESCs, UBEC, retracts, and lights—are completely installed at the factory for the PNP variant. The builder simply needs to screw on the wings and tail surfaces, affix the upper wing box plates with the provided Allen bolts, epoxy on the forward nose section, pop on the magnetic nose cone, and then glue the assorted surface details like the ventral fins, wing fences, antennas, pitot tube, etc. The decision to add this F-14D to your fleet will be an easy and resounding “Yes!”.

While the complexity of this Motion RC F-14D make it the largest, most impressive, and heaviest EDF jet available at Motion RC to date, the aircraft uses two 80mm 12 blade EDFs and two 6s 4000mAh batteries which can propel it through the sky at 100mph. While 100mph is good, we would not consider this a "speed jet". The design specifically focused on slow flight stability in order to widen the model’s controllable flight envelope. The model can cruise at 60% throttle, can turn at 40% throttle even with the wings swept rearward, and can land at less than 40mph with full flaps for safely controlled landings on the reinforced landing gear and aluminum compression struts. The F-14D’s two powerplants utilize the same 1750kv."
