First, thank you for your hard work and all those details. I am going to take on this project. Now, just one preliminary question: For the plans that are in your download file, on what size of paper should they be printed?

Thanks.

can this plane be a pusher??

The foam sheet pdf's are 762x508 mm (20x30''), you can print them with the poster profile in adobe print view, it splits them automatically.
@Matthewdupreez sure if one puts two pusher props on it but it's not really designed for that and there are better options for pusher f-14's out there anyways

no. its an EDF or you might be able to make it a BDF, but I don't think this is the kind of plane you want a prop powering.

No, this is Flitedesign 3d's own design.

can this have 50 mm edfs?

I would stick with the recommended 64mm as per the design. 50mm would likely be underpowered.
