There are lots of people that asked to see this. Looks like it did really well too! This is much better than I actually expected it to do! It looks like the plane is much stronger!! Can not wait to get mine and add the Gooniac touch! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Raymond!

Man. I’m very impressed with what I’m seeing. That gear is very robust. Great job Rich and Wesley. Can’t hardly wait to check out the new field in person. 👊👍👍😉

Rich, you always make it fly well. Good jet, I need this in my hanger.

Excellent review. They are definitely making more grass able planes. Team RC InfoBoozer has the best toys!

Thanks to Wes for allowing this video to happen. Unfortunately they are now sold out lol I will eventually have one.

Great motion Im getting three of them love love the tomcat

Rich, sounds like Freewing/MRC made some of the mods you suggested on the dual 80mm F-14, especially the wing sweep plate extension aft. Great news! Great flying!

@RCINFORMER

Yes! Thanks for noticing:) I had suggested in my upgrade video to not only extend the plates AFT, but also make the plastic gear mount much longer from front to back. Since I was unable to do anything about the plastic mount, I had to make my aluminum plate much longer than preffered and extend it backward farther. Clearly, the combination of the two makes it super strong. This new plane was my vision of the design realized:)

@@RCINFORMER Excellent work. Thanks!

That comment at the 4:24 mark, "we've got a wing hanging back", has been cited on another YT video as a cause of a crash. I think the wing sweep is much faster than the full-size bird. Maybe a delay on the sweep would allow less chance of them sweeping asymmetrically. Let's see what MRC/Freewing say about it.

Just got back into the hobby after 10 years away and started with a Freewing Avanti. I always get compliments on it at the club, and I have to say Freewing and Flightline (also got the Corsair Birdcage in box yet to fly) blow away Eflite/Horizon (who have gone way downhill, I had a heli from them with a binding tail servo which overheated and failed in flight, and ironically I have the 2M Draco and luckily before I flew I checked the linkage on the elevator and it bound so bad the servo could not center, would most certainly have caused a crash!). Motion and Freewing will certainly be my go to for awesome foamies, this F14 is on my shortlist for next plane!

Awesome performance !! i'd love to see Freewing upgrades it's 80mm version to the same spec's as this one

I feel much better about our grass field after seeing this. Takes a lot of the nerves out because ours is much smoother

@RCINFORMER

Once we level & grade the field here, it will be nice and smooth here with much smoother grass.... for now, it's rough & good for testing planes on rough terrain. Its the worst of the worst right now but flyable here. You will not have any problems on a smooth grass surface:)

Nice flying as always Rich!!

Looks great Rich!

Yes! Finally the test i wanted to see

Be cool to see it do a wings swept hi-alpha landing.

Very cool plane

Well that was by far the best test ive seen of a new freewing plane, just what everyone wants to see, test the airframe on grass, takeoff and landings, absolutely brilliant job well done guys, surely the best ad for ordering one of these! A little more info on the stabilising system would be good, can I fly this on 7channel? Thanks

RICH Ruling!

Usually, about mid-April, our field smoothes out and our grass runway is kept short. But we usually fly 80 or 90mm and at 8s because of our grass field.

This easily got off the ground with a 6s 5000 Admiral pack!

wow in such a little plane swing wing helps for grass take-off?

With the included gyro would it be possible to program a Spektrum receiver into this to have safe? Are we able to program safe without AS3X on?

Are there any cracks in the wing sweep compartment? I remember on the 80mm version the wing sweep area would get broken up easily on landing on grass runways unless you had the aluminum plate mod installed onto it.

@RCINFORMER

4 ай бұрын

The compartment was fine. This version already has upgraded aluminum platters similar to the platters I designed. They probably borrowed from my design a bit & extended the aluminum back to fully support the retract unit. The plastic gear mount was also made longer & the combination of two upgrades make this stock gear setup ultra strong.

This is what I was waiting on. Our field is about as ruddy and patchy as your field at this time of year here in (knoxville). I was worried about the power and size of wheels off of grass. My only question is, when taking off do you have it at high rates with full or half flaps.

@RCINFORMER

4 ай бұрын

I was using takeoff flaps & it got off the ground easily. Some of the touch & goes were with full landing flaps, and it took of easily as well!

Does it have full span flaps like the full size?

@RCINFORMER

4 ай бұрын

No, however, you can program full span flaps if you have enough channels.

Do you know how effective the reverse thrust is compared to the mirage c2000 v2? Or more like the 70mm f16?

How about we try a wing sweep? 😉

We did.

How long will it take before a flight controller can automatically sweep the wings according to changing conditions like the full size?

@RCINFORMER

4 ай бұрын

Probably never, wings sweep based on altitude(pressure) & airspeed. We don't fly that high or fast. The speed sensing air data equipment to adjust the sweep would probably be to expensive to be worth it.

Alright, I think my field is a little smoother than that so I should be good.

They've handled all my complaints to my complete satisfaction. Any minor gripe about Motion? BANNED. Even the Chinese Communist Party is more tolerant to criticism then Wesley and Motion RC.

True. However, it's just a test runway to evaluate the runway & glue joints vs. the elements & time.

The F-14 is not a trainer. Where's the WSO in the back seat?
