Flying the ICONIC new RC Jet from the cockpit! - Freewing Twin 64mm F-14

The BRAND NEW Freewing twin 64mm F-14 Tomcat has gotten a lot of attention, and for good reason. They took the popular twin 80mm version and scaled it down into a perfect model. Tom Hunt set his up for FPV and the first impressions LOS & FPV is that it is true an amazing RC Airplane.
BIG THANKS TO TOM HUNT!!! Check out his KZbin for some FPV videos.

As someone who was stationed on an Aircraft Carrier...me thinks I might have to buy one and set it up like this! I always dreamt of flying an F-14 Tomcat, watching them taking off, bringing up the ordnance for them, and watching them land will always be some of my favorite memories of my time in the NAVY!!!

[@williamcarroll8601]

Yeah shipmate I was topside on the Carl Vinson V2 back in the 80s watching the A7 corsairs, the S3 Vikings, prowlers, Intruders and the course the tomcat. what a dream come true.

[@shawnadams1460]

@@williamcarroll8601 I always loved the Intruders and Prowlers, the names, and their aggressive look! Some of my favorite models to build growing up.

[@akkseljohansson3601]

Needs to get that artificial horizon working! 💥

[@3DPrintHangar_RC]

Tom makes this FPV flying look so easy. Its genuinely amazing 🙌

[@robwoodring9437]

Glad to see that F-14 has the correct livery. Never been able to fathom how any RC hobbyist would want anything OTHER than the Jolly Rogers scheme.

[@chrisc2683]

“Mutha”

[@starpawsy]

I will allow myself to disagree. I far prefer the final livery, which was the stealth matt grey with black writing and decals. That to me looked much more "sinister". That was what I used on my Flight Sim Tomcat.

[@DaCocoBrova]

My inner child is going nuts watching this footage!

[@HandFromCoffin]

I love seeing these but would not want one even if I had the money.. I flew giant RC years ago and I would defile that air craft.. I'd never risk flying it myself.

[@tomv5988]

Talk to me Goose.

[@Psymeister]

Come on man, do some of that pilot sh!t

[@VictorN-gr4vx]

Talk to me dad.

[@donnewton415]

Didn't hear him call the ball. Great flying, tremendous listening to a pilot go through the envelope of his new airframe.

[@donnewton415]

Nose on the horizon and "TomCat Ball"!

[@tdwayne1]

Is this the Tom Hunt that built several rc VTOL aircraft back in the early 90s ? If so ...I practically worshipped him , and his aircraft..❤ the vertigo was a incredible aircraft... but he had other's 😢 😢❤...

[@NeuroticLobster]

I think that was Mike Hunt

[@rungy8214]

Tom is a really good pilot!

[@charlesmcguire9711]

Tom's fpv videos are legendary.

[@RmasterD]

What Tom did to his B-17 is inspiring.

[@simons6208]

Engineering is improving on an already Amazing Product 👏 👏 👏

[@jessicajay2484]

amazing!!! thank you for this video

[@user-it8mt3zg9f]

Very cool. I'm currently setting up and AR Wing Pro with a SpeedyBee FC and DJI Goggles 2 and O3Air. Can't wait to get her in the air.

[@qantaslink_aviation]

love this new f-14 and am considering picking it up myself

[@michaelcannizzo1076]

I dont know if this works on RC canopies, but in scale models of fighter planes you can use Future Floor Wax or some other equivalents or polishing compounds to get canopy crystal clear. Would be cool if it makes enough of a difference to clear up the the thru canopy view for the FPV camera.

[@mkprivate7523]

imagine THIS built into Tyler Perry's 21 feet bomber.......with plenty of room for working altitud, horizon, flaps etc gauges to look at....

[@Snip59]

Unreal indeed Phil in sydney,Australia wow he can fly very much so wish i could looks the part so much.

[@tomv5988]

Honestly I really like it a lot.

[@joesimonetti]

That's just so badass...

[@stevebarr9604]

That's a nice one and great flyer!

[@NeedSpeedRC]

Tom is a legend!

[@meganbrown4409]

This is so awesome 😮

[@EngineNoise305]

Nice job guys this video is awesome!!

[@williamcarroll8601]

How cool would that be if the artificial horizon actually worked. And also, you can see the rearview mirrors are real. Very cool.

[@hekikuu]

Great flying. I wouldn’t dare FPV’ing my Freewing Cougar!

[@Frisky0563]

Thanks for taking us along

[@LordHolley]

Too friggin' cool!

[@JeffsCustomRC]

Great vide Jay!! Tom did a great job👊🏼👊🏼

[@Phils_RC]

That’s so cool! Now I need FPV goggles 😂

[@kabulbolan]

Huh? Can’t see shit except from the ground. Lame

[@demolitionplace5662]

That is awesome !!! Love the vids!

[@demolitionplace5662]

Like this comment for everyone to get free f-14s 🤬😂

[@wjniemi]

That camera is just wild!

[@Guest-sh2ss]

I love the f 14 and the maverick joke in the beginning was great

[@Jays_rcgarage]

😂😂

[@antoniopegaso4208]

Bellissimo ! Molto realistico, complimenti! 👍🤝

[@DJCallitquits]

The FPV barrel roll👍👍

[@Noiru82]

That’s awesome.although I wish the rest of the canopy wasn’t blurry

[@dude8098]

I love it!!! i want it so badly but its to expensive for me :(

[@sailingeric]

Time to buzz the tower!

[@DKLabs99]

You were in a 4G inverted dive with a MiG 28?

“It’s not the plane, it’s the pilot.”

[@BIGBOYMEEK_KING]

Good jet

[@MeTheMafferik]

Smile to the bird

[@mgold4685]

Looks just like #202 I worked on in 1980

[@mattyboy47]

Love it Tom ❤ May I ask, which headtracker are you using? I built one from a, BLE Arduino board, are you using one of those or a Motion Sic board? Keep these, great videos coming, just LOVE Tomcats!!

[@ceeb2275]

Makes me want to watch The Final Countdown

[@fbhombal]

Amazing - is there a delay in the video transmission

[@legostarwarskid5459]

can someone put a gi joe classified next to this sweet ride? :0

[@ALonelyCorsair]

Hey jay! You do Freewing reviews? Please do one on the F18C. Any f18 is great, to complete the legacy of the naval fighters, since you’re doing this one

[@Bringos76]

Nice camera work. It's hard to track a small object smoothly in the air.

[@duhdardar624]

can you make a video of naming RC brands for beginners? i don’t know where to start

[@gregfishhman4022]

This channel is OG flight test peak 2016

[@starpawsy]

I would buy one of these here in Australia, if only there was someone in my town who could fly it for me. I'm a lousy pilot and would be too terrified of crashing it.

[@kennethfharkin]

Is this flying off of the area off Moriches - Riverhead Road, south of Riverhead on Long Island because it sure looks like it! I live in the region and this looks real familiar. There are also a few Grumman engineers still about.

[@chucksdesk]

I thought our field was rough!

[@JMTerry1984]

Looks good for grass ops ?

[@user-oe3lh9fh3e]

Looks like it had cadc computer issue with the swing sweep,pilot had to go to manual overide!

[@TheincredibleHolg]

I really like that the review mirrors are working, great detail!

[@truth6242]

WOW

[@robby_fulton]

Wow! that is cool! Silly question maybe but is it faster with the wings swept back?

[@bh9976]

Yes

[@alwaysbelievechrist4688]

❤it!!!

[@woutervanwijk4369]

How cool would it be if that artificial horizon screen actually would work 🙃

[@CmdSoda]

No HUD is problematic but a good pilot will overcome even that.

[@HandFromCoffin]

Wright that up in the forms. Red X.

[@HandFromCoffin]

Wow.. I think you might be onto something here.. Combine this with those crazy accurate cockpits.. There could be some crazy looking realistic stuff. Maybe just take the canopy plastic/glass out, maybe thin down the pillars though they might be accurate your eye wouldn't "see" them as much or the camera makes them more viable.. I really think this could become really interesting. 3rd edit.. The F-14 is just the sexiest aircraft ever.. I just don't think, in my mind, they could ever design a plane that looks so perfect again. I grew up in the 80's with Robotech, GoBots, and Transformers. The F-14 is just chefs kiss and your model looks sexy. Starscream and F-15 a distant second.

[@fauziung3875]

Don't think .just doooo...awesome plane👍

[@jetman899]

Nice flying! MotionSic has an FPV headset like this at my club.

[@cajunrcfamily6188]

That’s a rough field

[@zrx4me1]

They need a paved runway. What state are you guys flying in?

[@StephanBuchin]

4:50 is what you're waiting for.

[@edwardcase]

Watts? Thrust from each fan? AUW?

[@problemchild1976]

All rc flying should be done FPV

[@OkuaniRatty]

I agree

[@SpeedDemonExpress]

How do we build that first person setup?

[@PABYT506]

No flat spins there

[@daveenyart]

wow

[@i_dont_know_anymore223]

You should totally try and modify it to add the spoilers that the full scale f14 has

[@Jays_rcgarage]

If it’s possible, that’s something Tom will be attempting lol he’s the 🧠

[@tomhuntFPV]

I might have done it on the 80mm version, but the wing is rather small on this one.

[@OgYokYok]

I wonder if you could make a cockpit display with water and oil or something just so it stays level with the horizon

[@Jays_rcgarage]

That is a solid idea 🔥

[@tomhuntFPV]

I considered that, but again, this model and cockpit is rather small. That artificial horizon decal is less than 1/2" sq.

[@fino083]

The lcd telemetry cockpit exist : kzbin.info/www/bejne/nne4pJ2oop6KfJIsi=ruVYNvXa_02Sk72m kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2WlpXSNia6jp6Msi=0OGsiEb8H9QKyzmE kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKWwlWlmZpeCb5Isi=W39uFXlp_cD8vR33

[@danny-li6io]

What is this plane powered by?

[@Snip59]

Was that a Kit or made from scratch cheers.

[@TheWeekendOperator-tz4cy]

What was that green jet in background? Looks like it had 2 edf units on it.

[@Jays_rcgarage]

Freewing ME-262 that was customized and painted. Will be on the channel soon 🔥

[@AlbreighMatlock]

How does he do the First Person Flight View? does the F14 come with the camera already installed?

[@Jays_rcgarage]

No, its a custom head tracking setup.

[@daylightdaylight6612]

What is the brand of that camera?

[@Smt_Glaive]

The fpv landing was smooth

[@williamoverton7775]

to be honest I kept thinking there are floating ball levels and floating spherical compasses small enough to mount in the dash of this thing

[@Crispy_Crisp]

ok i completely forgot the name of this plane but its at 1:05 on the right side of the screen, where did he get it? is it a modified me262 converted into the 1946 version

[@Jays_rcgarage]

You my friend win an award! That video is coming soon lol

[@Crispy_Crisp]

@@Jays_rcgarage i really hope i see it when it comes out, i love 1946 planes

[@edwardcase]

sweep=stability

[@tomhuntFPV]

In the case of the F-14 sweep = speed. But not in our models. I doubt the speed increases more than a few MPH between fully fwd and fully aft. I will check that one day.

[@man_vs_life]

Rough runway!

Why no gorpro?

It's not the plane, it's the pilot

I say " Chowwww dahhhhh".

ya, 45+ years away from NE and I still have a bit of an accent!

[@scottywatson3315]

They sound like they’re from New york lol

[@TheHelixballerone]

Can you Dog Fight with your AC set up. ??

[@kjaergaard12345]

just add a drill to the camera, then it will look totally real :-)

[@DeepFriedDave]

Get that canopy fixed so its clear on all sides. Only the view through the front looked clear. Through the sides it looked very blurry and cloudy

[@chrisb7096]

Side Views were not blurry - why dont you sen him a new canopy since you are are an expert. Sheesh - some people are unable to appreciate such fine work. Typical.

[@user-me4eg8dg9l]

Hello 😊

Now put maverick and goose in.

if you crash it, uff alot of money for repairs I can imagine

[@number-1-Saxman]

Seriously, if a plan is taking off is it called LANDING gearm

[@charlienovotny]

Hey Jay! Where is that?

[@Jays_rcgarage]

This is our local flying field in Calverton. It’s called SEFLI!

[@tomhuntFPV]

It's less than 3/4 mile from where 750+ F-14's were built by Grumman!
