New F-14 Tomcat twin 60 EDF
« Thread Started on Aug 5, 2009, 12:45am »

Hello, Gentlemen, artists, engineers and pilots alike,

We are indeed priviledged to introduce the most famous fighter ever, the F-14 TOMCAT. Over the years, many models have been produced to replicate this beautiful Jet, somehow something always fall short, either non-functional variable sweep wings or non scale cheater holes or non retracts. For the first time ever, a true to scale edf TOMCAT is now available. It comes as a kit with all the accessories for the variable sweep wings provided and fixed gears. We are offering this Jet as a kit as it is meant for intermediate to advance pilots. The construction is fairly challenging and air retracts is available as an option. These air retracts are custom designed specifically for this F-14 therefore all the hardware to fit the reatracts are available and no extensive modification is required. Full instruction is provided for the installation of the pneumatic retracts into this F-14.

The 60mm fans are provided with all kits. It comes with 5 and 3 bladed impellers. We recommend a 4S set up for this plane with BEC however the combination is only limited by the builder. This plane has been flown successfully on 3S and 4S.

For all the static model enthusiast who also flies RC, this kit resembles a static kit more than it does RC. On opening the box, the amount of components is overwhelming, from the working variable sweepwings mechanisms to the extra Phoenix/Sparrow missiles and fairings. All of which have been reproduced accurately. The plane comes painted in the high vis 2 tone Grey of the 1980s, no painting is necessary. The current planes are of VF-84 Jolly Rogers, the famous Skull and cross bones. Full set of water transfer decals are provided, this includes stencils and detail markings. The decals sheet is more detail than some of the decal sheets available for static planes.

Assembly of the plane is fairly challenging but requiring only basic tools and glue. The variable sweep wing is operated by a single servos. The optional retracts are operated pneumatically up and spring loaded down. These retracts are about the smallest CNC metal pneumatic retracts in the market. All hardware for the retracts is provided with the retracts option.

With that, I would like to introduce the EVER BEAUTIFUL F-14 TOMCAT.
-TOMCAT FOREVER!
