Bro, the turbine itself costs more than my net worth. Hell of a plane!
😂 Thanks for watching!
Rough math. The plane with the landing gear, cockpit, fittings and plumbing... About 11 grand . Guessing power by two 60lb turbines. Add around 9k for those and the electronics for them. Add another 3000 for the radio gear. And add the thiusands being charged for assembly. Gonna guess north of 25k...
Correct.
@@thelightersideofrc its when it crashes that you really start counting ;)
Great video…. Look forward to the build series videos. Thanks a lot Jonathan 🙏🏻
Thank you!!!
$7000 just for the airframe, and probly another 50% more for the bare most basic electronics...you can get REAL ultralights for that much...i love the insanity of RC planes nowadays lol
Lol. Ends up being about a 30-35k plane when done.
@@thelightersideofrc man thats WILD, lot more than i thought even...Right around what a real Piper Pa28 4 seater plane costs
Looks like a fun detailed project 😮
For sure! Going to be a fun one!
Awesome, I've been waiting for this build! Jonathon, you are the MASTER BUILDER!!!!
Wow, thanks! 😊
22:30 Id love to see a real f-14 wing fold mechanism after that! Crazy
No kidding! Can imagine how Beefy the full size is!
I think this makes a very cost-effective everyday aircraft!😂
What a piece!👍
😂
@@thelightersideofrc awesome video!
This is going to be an awesome build to watch come together. Can't wait!
Thanks!
What a beautiful monster, this will be fun series :)
YES!!!
Im gonna buy one of these for my first plane. cant wait to fly it. 😁
LOL. May want to go a bit more simple!
built our models out balsa wood and ca glue... they fly a lot better when they lighter
Yes agreed!
That f14 is gorgeous!
THanks!
Yes, you are right!!❤
😊
NO WAY I could ever have anything like this. My wife would leave me. A project like this is for single people.
Good point or people who do it as a job I guess. Pretty crazy
Or wealthy people...retired people with nice savings...and a good wife
It's like bringing home a new big Harley-Davidson
You got it!
For rich people
Absolutely fantastic!!!
Thank you kindly!
Do you have a video where you talk about running in your servos for 990 cylicles?
I love to know more about it. Never heard of this before. I have a pretty good idea what your doing and why one would want to.
I don’t have a stand alone video of it. It’s in a lot of the recent first build series videos. Cycling the servo before installation typically helps any servo issues to pop up.
@@thelightersideofrc cool. Thanks!
I Know that weight is an issue in this case, but I would love to see hydraulics installed for scale fidelity.
That would be pretty darn cool for sure!
Man that's some gear to be fitting in there 😮😅. What's the MAX weight then...😅 Keep at it now.😂😅
HAHA. 100lbs on the button! Hoping for 98 ish.
It looks awesome but I'd prefer the VF-84 Jolly Rogers scheme....Dads favorite as an AMHC on the Nimitz.
Classic Jolly! This one has a special meaning to the owner as well.
Wohoo, finally here. This thing is gorgeous!
YES!!!! Exciting project!😎
@@thelightersideofrc as a member of the MAPS air museum in Ohio I get to see the real thing on a regular basis. It amazes me the details that these Skymaster kits match. So beautiful.
I have a question.? Light bulb thingy ones. To power the lights. What about graphite sandwishing pressure Velostat that pick up Microwaves ?
😳😳🤔 no clue what your talking about
I have an idea for power plant. Hydrogen fuel cells fuel water .Elericroysis divide water compound for Hydrogen fuel cells?
😳
Sempre Topppppppp parabéns
thanks!
What about methane gas heated by infrared light steaming water to
Or steam pressure?
Nope. Needs more gigawatts
Nice ❤
THanks!
Is the weight limit due to engines/thrust or something else?
The weight limit is part of the AMA rules and regulations in the USA.
So if weight wasn’t a concern, if you added all the bells and whistles what would the weight be (ballpark figure)? Also, will you be having custom landing gear built like you did for the last F-14 build? I’m super stoked about this project!
IF you went with the "Normal" version so more wood used in the formers instead of foam/airex. Larger tanks. your probably adding 10lbs as a guess along with any additional fuel weight.
@@thelightersideofrc Cool. Thanks for the response!
EXCITING gona be fun to watch as always
YES!
awesome
Thanks!
that looked like a center stick for the RIO...
Yes
Which aircraft is the orange one behind you buddy¿¿
Probably The Boomerang Super Elan
Great work, congratulations
When are the flight tests?
Maiden scheduled for montana jets 2024
Freaking awesome!
🙌
has one of these builds ever crashed?
This specific model is extremely new by Skymaster so has any of them crash not publicly that anyone knows of they are also making a 1:5 F-15 single and dual seat models if you look at the tiny details on this plane in the video the molding is perfect that’s because not many of these have been molded
As has been said, this model is new so probably not. YES, it happens!
Did u get a chance to see the Aurora Borealis John
We see it quite frequently due to being so far north.
This Tomcat is so damn big, can’t wait to see it completed and in the air!!
Montana Jets 2024!
Where Can I buy one of these planes
Check with Doug at jetnorthjets.com
But why is there an F-15 silhouette on the sweater.
Because when you buy the file off the internet that's what it comes with.
Rich guys with stupid money... I love my RC planes, and build them all... this though is a whole other level of stupid money.
🙌
Does that f14 support Hamas?
🤔
Why is it weight limited?
Law, this is heavily regulated hobby.
Rules around flying model aircraft.
@@thelightersideofrc I have never heard you say you were limited by weight though. I'm intrigued by that statement. Is that a U.S. thing or other country? BTW ! GREAT job on this and the last 3 builds as always!! Keep up the amazing work
@@JoeHinson The weight is the main factor since big 4 meter glider made from styrofoam will not kill anyone while big fiber glass jet powered F-14 will :). In EU general laws weight limit for model aircraft is 150 kg. Models above 25 kg must be certified by the local "Faa" official and pilot have to have a RC license (local country laws might vary). I'm not sure about US, quick search shows two steps - 55 pounds as max for drones and 75 pounds max for Turbine RC. But the rules are actually changing a lot recently so its worth to check them before buying new kit.
@@randomnickify thank you for explaining this!!!
Hi! You are a dangerous person because 2 days ago I found your channel....
My inner kid jumped out (at age 51) and I am now completely fascinated to the point of "this needs to go high up on my bucket list...
I visited the Skymaster, Jeti, Xicoyturbines etc sites and started a "parts list". At first, seeing this F14 XXL at only 6800 euros (painted) my first thought was "oh, less than i thought, NICE". Then......this absolute noob realized that at least another 25k euros in additional parts are needed. (On top of what you obviously earn for the amazing builds).
As a suggestion for noobs (if there are any on this channel): a full parts list incl prices would make it easier for us to decided which model to go for according to our personal budget.
Then again, if there are (business related) reasons why you would not want to disclose that much info - fully understandable - but it might draw "new" RC fans to your channel since we donot have a clue where to start.
PS: my wife caught me watching your videos for the past 2 days and went "oh crap....here we go again" (with a laugh I must add)
LOL. Thanks for your comment! Made me smile reading it! I'm immune to the danger I cause! I get blamed for a lot of new addicted fliers!
Yes the kits are well priced. Then you add gear, small parts, cockpit, shipping etc. etc and Boom! Price is much more.
Thanks so much for watching the channel!
@@thelightersideofrc a pleasure! Never realized how far RC flying had gone......wow
The model itself is fantastic, but the first thing I would do is repaint it.
Someone who made these rivets on the surface probably never saw a real plane. It was probably painted en masse by Chinese women in cramped factories who were ordered to shade it.
It looks ugly and has nothing to do with serious and pro aging.
So you spend a fortune on a big model and get an unrealistic mass-market one.
🙌
Just not loving the rivet line highlighting…blurb.
🙌
😳😳😳🤯🤯🤯
HAHA. No kidding!
Does the kit comes with plumbing already done? What's the level of completeness? I get it that you want to redo everything once again, but does it really come the way it is shown in the video?
It comes with the airlines run to everything but as i'm showing, the removal and redo is always necessary!
@@thelightersideofrc thank you. It's a wonderful kit. I am considering getting one as well :)
