Skymaster F14 swept wing flight

On his 3rd flight with the Skymaster F14 my friend Amir performed the wing sweep operation. He had a text book flight with controlled maneuvers and aerobatics. Please enjoy this video filmed at Floyd Bennett Field.

Growing up in San diego i really miss the good old days of seeing those tomcats flying in formation. I wish i could go back for just a moment. This just makes my heart feel good. Beautiful plane.

[@flightsystemsrc]

Glad you enjoyed the video. We hope to have more F14 flight videos next season.

[@Tommy71998]

OK this is outstanding- it even SOUNDS real- and when it takes off and lands, and during flight, seems incredibly balanced and the correct weight based on the scale.... This is the best and most realistic RC model I have... EVER SEEN OR HEARD.

[@flightsystemsrc]

Thank you 😀 Its very hard to take your eyes off this jet during the flight. We appreciate your comments.

[@edutaimentcartoys]

wow, wing swing ... amazing rc f14 video

[@flightsystemsrc]

Thank you

[@melendjam]

I love F-14s, I worked on them aboard of the USS Independence CV-62 and I can never get over the incredible engineering marble they were. Thank your dedication to keeping the memory alive.

[@flightsystemsrc]

Thank you for your kind words and for watching

[@funtimewithsaharandkourosh8559]

Love the F14. Its such an amazing jet! Awesome video. Thank you for posting

[@thomasmcclain5797]

You huys are awesome....great pilots Amazing landing....... beautiful f14 Love watching it fly.....

[@menotu8440]

Nice flight of a really beautiful airframe, by far my favorite jet. Worked on them in the Navy and was sad to see them go.

[@flightsystemsrc]

Thank you for your comments and for watching 😊

I'm pretty sure there are some small Asian Pacific Island countries you can invade with two of these bad boys.

and get knock out of the sky by radio signal jamming device😂

[@davidsnyder238]

Perfect all the way around.

[@flightsystemsrc]

Thank you 😊

[@usmc6157]

Very nice F-14…fine piloting and nailed the landing!

[@flightsystemsrc]

Thanks a lot!😊👍

[@WhatWhoandY]

Next would be to build a to scale carrier and land this on the deck..

[@cnftnf]

And a scale ocean for added realism.

[@michaelandriessen]

Beautiful. It sounds really good. Nice flight.

[@Thatdpfmaid]

Wing sweep, would be the correct term, I worked them for 6 years. Beautiful skills my man / vf-103 / vf-101 / vf-2

Just fantabulous! The F-14 Tomcat is such a kicka$$ plane..👌👏😼

Absolutely is👍 thank you for watching and for your comment 😊

[@lgroves336]

impressive... sounds REAL

[@marvinhenderson6379]

PERFECT LANDING 😊😊

[@funtimewithsaharandkourosh8559]

In this channel, check out the landing for the Yellow JASDF F4. Which is a better landing? The F4 or the F14?

[@TA-Mike7]

You should video when you remotely open the canopy. That's part of the show.

[@professionalprocrastinator8103]

Those DCS and Ace Combat footages go hard lol Nice job!

Beauty flying

[@thomaspuma434]

I love this jet and dream about having my own

[@therealdeal6846]

Well that was just all types of Awsome!!!...too this day still think it is one of the most beautiful designs...beautiful aircraft..even if RC looks swell...when i watch it turn i keep getting " GHOSTRIDER YOUR INSTRUCTED TO LAND LAND IMMEDIATELY"????

[@flightsystemsrc]

thank you for watching

[@deanbunnell4155]

Two questions: 1. What is its top speed? 2. What would be the ballpark price tag of a setup like that???

[@flightsystemsrc]

top speed is limited to 200mph as per our insurance - As far as cost if you go on the SKYMASTER RC JET website you can price this out. Thank you for watching😁

[@mikeryan3537]

Imagine flying this thing fpv

[@crazyaces9586]

Awesome Bird 🐦

[@flightsystemsrc]

I agree 👍

[@ALonelyCorsair]

Hey Flight systems! How do I get here? And can I come without paying the membership? I’m have a Corsair but I was flying on runway 19 last time because I couldn’t find the field😂 good flying :)

Yes , your right 🤗

[@redbeardsflippedodometer7279]

What is the top speed of this aircraft?!!!

[@flightsystemsrc]

I'm not sure exactly but we are limited up to 200mph

that's cool

Big Bawls and pockets after the nightmares many of us had with the junk from h3ll with the F-14 swangers from... Oh, China.. This one landed... Thank Gawd.. The F-14 is one of the greats of all time, especially with swing wings, r/c...

I’ve gotta have one of these and put a camera in it connected to a vr headset

[@maxsouza6003]

Take off so fast. No no no no.

[@Stllno]

I am amazed at the construction of these replica models, but how do you make them? Is it from scratch????

[@humbertomonteiro6742]

Made in China kits....

[@funtimewithsaharandkourosh8559]

Quality fiberglass and carbon fiber construction. Top notch. These were made at skymasterjets

[@dfrost42371]

Great video but the audio was clipping on my end.

[@dont6441]

Didn't notice any audio issues.

[@Tom-sp2xs]

Audio clipping

[@sheeeene7]

I agree, a sort of rumbling sound.

[@dougwaltman8488]

VF 84 Jolley Rogers along with VF 41 Black Aces were our 1st Tomcat Squadrons on USS Nimitz 77-78 Med Deployment

[@teeztoyz]

Sure would be nice to see a top speed pass - clocked.

[@70000solar]

It is like originally flight of jet plane

[@jamesmaroon6161]

What's wrong with the landing gear? Does it not go up into the fuselage? There is a guy on KZbin that builds these things. And wow they are amazing like this one. I think right now he is building a Warthog. I was in the Marines so I do know a little about these aircraft.

[@funtimewithsaharandkourosh8559]

The retracts work. You may be seeing all the dressings (tanks, missiles) that are hanging that may be confusing the visual...

Ramy RC has worked on warthog and other commercial and fighter jets. And Darkaero are maven at it the art of the class products they produce

[@chrisfortner9996]

Do the flaps and slats not actuate?

[@flightsystemsrc]

The flaps and slats are 100% functional. 😊

[@vladamilicevic]

What is the price for something like this?

[@DrewMarold]

After seeing another video about this plane I looked on Skymaster's website. Just the plane, unpainted is $5995, painted versions in various liveries run $6895. From what I can tell, the realistic cockpit, swing-wing mechanism, and other things are all extras, and add upwards of another $2k, plus however much the engines cost. It also requires a pretty hefty transmitter to control all the different functions.

[@XXNerdzillaXX]

How close to the sound barrier can these things get?

[@dougwaltman8488]

What I want to know is what's next what can't we make R/C the future is wide open!! Raphie

[@pacovl46]

Is this the E or the F version?

[@flightsystemsrc]

Good question, I’ll have to find out

[@pacovl46]

@flightsystemsrc the difference is the in the price. The E versions are about 3300 bucks, and fhe F versions are about 4300 according to their website., of I remember correctly.

[@pacovl46]

What's the top speed of this plane?

[@flightsystemsrc]

We are limited to stay under 200mph

[@pacovl46]

@@flightsystemsrc limited by whom? Having said that, 200 mph is plenty!

Horrible audio

[@flightsystemsrc]

YES, I agree. There were some challenges with background music playing , wind and dogs barking. I did my best to get it published without copyright flags from youtube. I promise the next one will be cleaner. Thank you for watching .

[@johnh.2405]

Curious what she costs?

[@flightsystemsrc]

If you go on the Skymaster rc website you can price out the different jet kits. I’m not the owner so I can’t say for sure what the cost is , but the website can give you a good idea 👍 thank you for watching.

[@bytex666]

@systemsrc they are $3500-5000 depending on your paint scheme

[@russcole5685]

Is there much elevator trim needed when sweeping the wings in flight

[@funtimewithsaharandkourosh8559]

It requires some trim on both elevator and aileron. A flight mode was created for the swept wing condition. In that condition, deflection was reduced by 20% on both elevator and aileron and expo was increased by 20%.

[@russcole5685]

@@funtimewithsaharandkourosh8559 yup, 😊👍 I was thinking less throw would be needed for the controls surfaces. I was thinking with my original question about elevator trim, as CoG would shift rearwards as sweep moves, or is this counteracted with the CoL "centre of lift" also moving rearwards.

[@funtimewithsaharandkourosh8559]

There is a shift, the elevator trim helps as in this case, it started climbing.

[@russcole5685]

@@funtimewithsaharandkourosh8559 oh wow. Down trim needed. Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. Mines nothing of this size or scale, 1/12 F111g self built foamy. A little worried about not knowing what to expect. Thanks for the heads up. And Hello from New Zealand
