Nice flight. Looks like u hit a bump in the grass and flipped. I bet if that was concrete or pavement it would have been butter

[@frankflyrc]

Yeah, that was a good flight, all the way til the very end! All fixed up now! Plan to take it out the next time I'm able to get out to the field.

[@RC-Take-off]

Landing the F-14 is sometimes easy and sometimes hair-raising. No idea why that is.

[@frankflyrc]

Very true! Fortunately, there was only minor damage. The vertical stabs got bent, and the ball link connector on the wing control rod cracked. Now I'm just waiting on the replacement parts to come in.

I have the twin 80 an it was more than I wanted to deal with to Tuffin it all up to my flying style , this one comes out the the gate just about tuff BUT with some complexities , I start to get it but but still in my decision not to , I got the xfly b1 Lancer an did the an did all the control board Bye pass , she's all setup an ready . But that 64 that you have worse thing is focusing on its bad conflict of fallout out the sky with it's way of stall . The 80 twin was bad but not that bad in its way of stall . The 64mm reminds me of that freewing f-35 way of a fast stall they need tomuch speed at particular Angle of attacks or they will fall straight into the stall . Good flight tho 👍 keep posting. I will follow you overcoming this jet an I may decide to change my mind . Lol I just ain't there yet . Not a impressive jet I'm thinking .

@@thomassullivan3703 I hear ya! I had the twin 80, also, but was too cumbersome and troublesome to transport. Plus requiring 2 batteries, per flight. Another club member now owns that one, and this one is its replacement. It'll be back in the air next time I'm able to make it out to the field.
