have you tried making any 50mm edf jets like the f-16 or f-14

You can always scale down the plans. I've scaled a few down 50% and it's a little bit more fiddly to get some of the parts to fit since the width of foam isnt scaling. Even the edfs, just do the edf section a few times till you get the scale right and go from there. I'd suggest removing as much paper as you can to lower the wing loadinghave you tried making any 50mm edf jets like the f-16 or f-14
Nice flight and you greased the landing, well done!Hi JAMplan65, I setup the F-14 on my Spektrum iX20. I setup flight modes and 3 position switch to have a full sweep, mid sweep and no sweep. I was even able to program in flaps, aileron and spoilers depending on the flight-mode/wing-position. Here are some links:
F-14 Completed Build with Flight video
FT F-14 MS Build Thread
My setup is with a 10 channel AS3X receiver.
1. The stabs in the back are setup for elevon mix
2. The wing control surfaces are setup for flaps, spoilers and aileron mix (depending on the flight mode/wing config see below)
3. Throttle on a y-harness, no differential thrust here
4. Rudders installed and setup on a y-harness
5. Setup multiple flight modes (5 in all I believe) and each flight mode has its own set of trims:
5.1 Wings out (no sweep) - Ailerons active - flight mode 1, flaps can be deployed, mid flaps - flight mode 4 and full flaps - flight mode 5
5.2 Wings mid sweep - Ailerons active, flaps deactivated - flight mode 2
5.3 Wings full sweep - Spoilers only, flaps deactivated - flight mode 3
Thank you sir! I will definitely give it a try 👍🏻Hi JAMplan65, I setup the F-14 on my Spektrum iX20. I setup flight modes and 3 position switch to have a full sweep, mid sweep and no sweep.

Hi JAMplan65 - If you want I can see about exporting and posting my radio config. file on my FT F-14...though I'm not a big Android user so full disclosure to manage expectations.Thank you sir! I will definitely give it a try 👍🏻
Wow, what an amazing build. I have no I dea how I missed your post. Simply amaxing.
Im glad you were able to answer the spextrum question, I have no experience with it.
Looks amazing!
Hi John - I did want to get your thoughts on landing gear for your F-18 MS jet. I bought a set of the E-flite F-18 mains and nose gear. All the pictures I've have the main in front of the EDF and the nose gear in front of the battery bay opening...which would force the battery back and into the opening.
Would this make a good first jet?

Lol, lots of practice, we make sure the weather conditions are good when we film and fly😁How in the world are you getting these photos? It almost looks like it's on a static, professional stage with background?
