f-14

Wing sweeps 47 degrees, designing the wingbox gives some trouble, it has to be extremely strong since the wings are attached to one hinge point only. It must also be designed from plywood so it can be lasercut.

Nose and canopy needs some work

Hi all, I have recently gotten into the hobby and realized how enjoyable it is to build. With that being said i wanted to take it to the next level and design my own version of a Flite Test style F-14. I have a background in engineering and access to Solidworks CAD program so i have spent a...

This is a project I've been thinking about doing for a couple of months now. I wanted to make it as scale as possible by making the wings variable in sweep. To do this, I am going to use a beefy FT glider release servo. Preferably a three position switch. There will not be any landing gear. My...

The F-14 has some of my favorite curves of any jet, and I would love to scratch build one out of foam. So, I'm here to begin my efforts! I'm still in the process of drawing the plans and I am totally looking for any advice anyone has. This is also my first build without anyone's plans to hold...

Hi all, I'm mid build of an F-14 profile pusher, following the plans from RC Groups for the MDC F-14 from c. 2005-> Thought I'd pop a few pics up as i go :-) I'm building from foam board (the original plans are for 6mm depron) the wings are a flat section, no airfoils! They have a carbon...
