F14 Back Stories and History.
The 2 seater Grumman F-14 Tomcat was the US Navy's air superiority fighter, tactical reconnaissance platform and its fleet defence interceptor . The F-14 replaced the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II in 1974 and was replaced in 2006 by the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. It appears in all Top Gun video games including Top Gun: Guts and Glory, Top Gun: Combat Zones and Top Gun: Hard Lock.
The aircraft first flew as far back as 1970 and deployed from Navy carriers in 1974 and was ultimately cancelled in 2006 with the advent of the U.S. Navy’s F/A-18 Super Hornet. The F-18 was faster, more maneuverable, and more high-tech than the Tomcat, and emerged as a new generation of carrier-launched fighters.
The F-14s initially designed to counter Russian MIG fighters during the Vietnam War, and were then used against Iraqi planes by the Iranian Air Force during the Iran-Iraq war; they reportedly shot down at least 160 Iraqi aircraft while only 12 to 16 Tomcats were destroyed, according to a 2006 Air & Space Magazine report.
The F-14s are still used by the Iranian Air Force, and some have raised a question as to whether they were retired prematurely by the U.S. Navy. This raises an interesting question regarding technical progress. While there is clearly value in human decision making faculties adding to air attack with two-seater planes using a Naval aviator to support the pilot, the advent of newer sensor technology may have supplanted the need for a second person in the plane. - บันเทิง

Lots of progress in this first wing video! Thanks for watching! If you get a min, check out my site! www.thelightersideofrc.com/
another great video! thanks for sharing! The shop cat sure is a big helper!!!!LOL!
HAHA. Thanks Dale. She is so Helpful! 🤔
Hi Jon ,
Yeah , looks aright doddle to do!! lol
You have the patience of a saint !!
Cheers
Phil
Thanks Phil!
Great job as always. Say Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr to your cat for me.
HAHA. Thanks Steve.
regarding the buzzing on mks servos: there is a programming device from mks (DSP-1), using this device you can adjust the deadband of the servos. This will clear the buzzing. MKS Servos are set to the lowest deadband value on the market (normaly wanted because they are very exact and fast), most of the "older" powerboxes (including the jeti) do not like that. Had the same problem on my powerbox mercury's which is in all my jets (around 12 systems). After reprogramming the 747HV servos to deadband 3ms, everything is fine. Got this information from powerbox systems including the programmer... the only downside, the DSP-1 is not really cheap...
Thanks Stephan! Great information! Thanks for sharing that.
Wow!! That will be awesome to see the wings slats and flaps working, as well to see how the flight characteristics change
For sure! Lots going on on these wings! Pretty slick setup!
Wow, excellent post, as always! That swing mechanism is amazing to see, looks so very robust. Excellent videography and instruction!
Thank you very much! Couldn't believe how beefy that swing wing mech was when I first saw it!
Egad, this thing is complex! And all of this magic has to work properly before the maiden. Wow. Thanks for this one, it’s been quite the adventure.
Thanks! Yea there is lot's going on!
hI Jonathan, awesome video, first time I saw wings with slats, spoilers and flaps on an rc model... congrats, nice job......
Thanks Alain! Yea lot's going on with these wings!
I love all the tech in these wings. Great job. Can't wait to see it all together.
Thanks Sal! It's a complicated wing!
Just found your channel today I’m really glad I did!! This is amazing I didn’t know how much detail and skill it takes to make one of these aircraft! Keep it up!
Welcome aboard Matthew! Thanks so much for watching and checking things out! Yea there is a lot of detail and systems involved!
LOL, need a leash for the cat. Great video.
HAHA. And a door!
Looking really good , very time consuming to great all the small adjustments working properly good Job. Becoming very familiar with the Jeti!
Yea so many small tricks and tips with the Jeti! Constantly learning!
Hope you give us a full toor of the new shop!
That's the plan!
Very Sweet Wing Build. May I give you a photo Tip for the Jets you Build ? Jonathan you are working on my Favorite Jet. Just Wish Our Navy gave the OK to build the F21 TomCat Jr.
Thanks Greg! Always open to tips!
@@thelightersideofrc Jonathan. I am not a Great Writer so ask Questions if I leave you hanging. Could you use any of the Servo hardware they give you? In our F5J plane we have Bearing to hold the Servo arm better and could you use the Trays they give you? They have awesome ways to connect the flaps and So On. Last since you a Busy Man. In the New Shop have Wifely paint one Wall that looks like Sky with Some Clouds ☁ then build three brackets that you can hold your Jet ✈ ( like this Jet) maybe use the Landing Gear Doors Open . Maybe Acrylic glass Rods with Hooks so you Can Take a Photo of Each Jet 🛩 you Build. . I know you can make a clear Bracket that will not be in the Photo. Thanks Jonathan you are the Best. Peace. Greg.
@@thelightersideofrc Jonathan forgive please take a Look at these and see if these parts could Help out More. SoaringUSA then look up LDS/IDS parts. . Peace Be With You and Wifely. Greg
Great job man, always enjoy watching you figure things out!
Thanks Sean! This was a head scratcher to get to this point. Great challenging wings!
Awesome job love the jets
Thanks Joseph!
Great video as always Jonathan!
Thanks Stacy!
Very nice step by step walk through. Ill definitely be using this when I work through my functional wings. As I do not have the bell crank for the flaps Ill be interested to see how you work through it. I have been debating an external linkage on mine. Hopefully there is an alternative.
Thanks David! I have the Flaps sorted and it's a very slick well setup system. Friday's video! Thanks for watching!
Superb setup. First time I see slats on a jet, will they be as functional as on the full scale counterparts?
Thanks! Fully functional!
It would seem that the flap gap should be equal for both inboard and outboard.
Sorry make that the slat gap measurement with the slat extended.
Generally yes but with the Slats running on Carbon sliders it would induce alot of binding in the system and load on the servo if we tried to get them even. This is why I did the first step of moving it out manually to see how it sits in it's "Happy State".
It's really very difficult for 3 servos with 3 differents ajustments for the same slat ! We can hear a small noise from one of 3 servos ?.
The slats use 2 servos. There will probably always be some buzz from these paired servos just because thee will always be some resistance in the system.
Don't you loose that bent screwdriver, they are indispensable 😂😂😂
HAHA..I lost it last year for a few months. I thought I left in on the trailer wheel and drove away at the field. Thankfully it was buried in the tool box!
Just as a manner of information, how much are these models to buy, as well as size available. Who sells these awesome models. Cheers
It varies a massive amount depending on size and fit out. Generally ordering from the manufacture.
hello! can I use a hysol product to adhere the formers in my Byron models? they consist of polyester resin fuselage! what do u recommend ? Thanks for your time!
Hey Dale. For critical areas I use 9462. Make sure to sand the fuse at the gluing location and clean dust off.
@@thelightersideofrc thank you!!!
@@thelightersideofrc will 9460 work? 9462 is hard to come by! lol
