I beg to differ. There isn't a better looking fighter than the F-16 Falcon. Sure, the 14's and 15's have some nice bells and whistles, but the 16 has all the curves in the right places.
It is really impressive. My favorite is the German flying boat, Dornier DoX. It has 12 engines and the detail is pretty amazing. The dedication these people put into their models is over the top...

Amazing attention to detail and incredible performance. I have always wondered how they take off and land so effortlessly on those grassy areas - it looks very bumpy for those small wheels to my eyes. Undercarriage struts that could get damaged by a wheel caught up in the grass. All these shows are like this - in fields - I'm surprised they don't hire an area that has some smooth concrete or bitumen
My god what a beauty! The F-14 Tomcat is by far the most beautiful jet fighter ever created, and this model is absolutely incredible! I want one right now!!!
Very impressive! Curious how the handling is when the wings are swept back? Does it have to have a higher speed to not stall? Are the ailerons still usable in the swept position? So cool!

I rewatched the section at 3:52~4:00 a few times to figure out if maybe that was camera flash reflections, but it'd have to be off of water molecules in the sky if that were the case, and reflections don't move like tracers or flares like @3:58~3:59... was a really cool added touch, as if the plane wasn't authentic enough...
Grumman F-14 Tomcat, is the most beautiful airplane model in the US Navy. Very good! Only the weapons were missing; the Sidewinder missiles, the Sparrows missiles and the fearsomes Phoenix.
Damn, that TOMCAT kicked major azz with its ability to target, engage and destroy six {6} separate targets a the same time. Nobody could touch it. It was a legend long before "Top Gun" and a fan favorite still.
It could also maneuver with the best of them. It defied physics considering its size. It could out-turn much smaller and nimbler planes like the A-4 Skyhawk or a F-5E Tiger in a slower speed fight. Of course, it had massive afterburner thrust from two big motors to muscle its way in a fight.
I love this video, the F-14 Tomcat is one of the most beautiful jets ever designed. I was fortunate to spend 4 years active duty & 4 years reserve stationed at VF-124 NAS MIRAMAR, SAN DIEGO, CA. AMS3 CHARLES "PONYBOY" REEVES 1985-1993
Absolute engineering masterpiece !! Clearly whoever thumbs down this clip have no idea what a feat this is, and will probably be spending their day stocking shelves in Tescos.
That's amazing! How the hell was he able to get the aerodynamics right so it still flies with changing wing shape?!! The real F-14 went thru so much trouble in development to get the computer working correctly on the wing angle at different speed and folding back completely was only for supersonic!
Seem like he didn't spend much flight time in the true delta configuration. Possible the model isn't quite as stable with the wings swept. All the variable geometry platforms had similar issues. A big reason we don't see them any more.
Apparently if you go fast enough you can fly anything. For example the F-15 pilot who lost his wing in real life. He basically became a rocket so he could return to base. ua-cam.com/video/11TGTERa_2k/v-deo.html
This is a great aircraft I don't think I have previously seen a F14 model with functional wings. Does anybody know if this is a kit or scratch built. I would like to see this plane demo when the pilot becomes more comfortable with it I bet that shit is really fast.
Absolute insanity this. I mean that in the nicest way. What a magnificent model . Best R/C model I have seen. The commentator said it "Engineering Brilliance " Well done sir(s) Magnificent endeavour and thank you very much for sharing. A true masterpiece.
this video came up randomly into my feed....im not really into rc planes..but this one...it got me stunned....i cant tell whats more fascinating....the flight...the look of it... the atenntion to detail..i mean even the pilots in the plane have the harness strapped on...just woow....its also an epic plane from an well known movie...im impressed
Looks like camera refracted light. You can see the lights multiply as the focus shifts away from it. That is usually due to multiple lens for telephoto zoom.
Hey look, there’s a little maverick in the cockpit😂 The f-14 is the sexiest fighter ever. Gorgeous. Also the top gun music in the background was perfect
WOW! that thing could start wars, absolutely love how the wings swing back and how the silhouette changes, just from watching Top Gun millions of times when you see the fighter jet in the "wings back" position you know it means business and you get that sense of the awesome power and supersonic speeds these things possess and i think i can speak for mostly all the guys here that being a fighter jet pilot who is in control of one of the fastest and deadliest machines to grace our planet is the ultimate job
Is it just me or does anybody else feel sad and happy at the same time when we see an F-14 fly again? When the wings fold back and the top gun theme song in the background, i lost a tear and felt the need to speed , it was beautiful 😢 I wish Tom Cruise would have used the F14 Tomcat for the sequel instead of the F18.
Amazing. And even more amazing that there are 50 people who clicked DisLike on this video. Love to see what marvels of engineering they built as to not appreciate this awesome model plane.
Was a nice touch to play Harold Faltermeyer's "Top Gun Anthem" during the flight. Been a fan of the F-14 since "Top Gun" came out. It's the real star of the film.

Thrust is better the 1:1 so it can go vertical . Develops 88 lbs of thrust to static 80 lbs. Just don't lose an engine while in power or she will snap over if you are not on your game.
The carrier would have to be at least 50ft long or so to take off from. Landing on the the carrier on the other hand would be a different story, would take a master skilled RC flier just to land on the carrier in the water, unless the plane had a Go Pro camera in front of the plane, so he/she can see where they're flying.

Tom Cruise can actually fit inside this RC, true story.

There will be a CofG change with wing sweep. How is it compensated? It's not shown here.
Uh...it was a joke. And your mom said that your Pop Tarts are ready.
I've heard he did try but his beak got in the way!
This has to be my favorite RC plane I've ever seen. Absolutely stunning.

Anyone noticed a bunch of lights in the sky around 3:55 -4:00 min.

These were alien UFO‘s following the RC plane trying to assimilate it. But fortunately plane was fast enough to escape the Borg assimilation

I saw the lights at 3:55-4:00 minutes also, not flares they are above the aril-Lane, do not look like Birds, Sea Gulls, etc. Weird, good catch !!

Superb camera work.....staying with the aircraft constantly !
Is that the Top Gun soundtrack playing in the background?
yes 2 songs
Yes, yes it is
I really miss the F-14 Tomcat. What a beautiful, wonderful piece of engineering?!?!
Cool would be to build an RC carrier this actually could land on...
The shit pilot landed too hard on a HUGE runway of soft grass... I could see this same guy decimate the plane into the aft of a model U.S.S. Nimitz.
it could be done. if kept to scale in relation to the f14, this would be one big ass fricken model ship!
The carrier would have to be at least 50ft long or so to take off from. Landing on the the carrier on the other hand would be a different story, would take a master skilled RC flier just to land on the carrier in the water, unless the plane had a Go Pro camera in front of the plane, so he/she can see where they're flying.
@@N2Otorious LMAO

How do you compensate for CG shift during wing sweep?
If you were directly above him then how could you see him...
