“It’s a 5. Love the plane. Like most complex birds you do some tweaking. Takeoff: Wings extended ( yeah I heard the noise from the stands; “try taking off with them retracted”). Flaps 1. Full power. Holds centerline beautifully. Easy lift off on asphalt in 200’. I like speed. Wings extended flight: Like they say, a big trainer. Handles wonderfully. Good maneuverability. Wings retracted: Mix to elevator as The RC Geek recommends. The roll rate surprises you. . It’s not uncomfortable, but I can see some could want a gyro. Sorry not me. That’s the fun of it. General flight: I like flying with full armament. Speed with gps onboard was 100+mph. It’s deceiving, doesn’t look that fast, it’s a big bird. She is a thrill to fly, just like my FW F-4 8s. Landing: Yes. Wings extended. Full flaps. I have full wing flaps. Mix to elevator as recommended by The RC Geek. Slows down quickly with full armament. I land with slight power and you can grease your landing. On asphalt I stop in 200’ after touchdown with no wind. I’m thrilled with the F-14. I can see how so many pilots love the lines of the F-14. The complexity makes it even more fun to fly.”

“Hallo,Nachdem ich bereits von der F5-Swiss absolut begeistert war (Verarbeitung und Flugleistung) habe ich mir noch die F-14 Tomcat bestellt. Es ist unglaublich wie dieses Modell gebaut ist. Es sieht einfach genial aus und alles funktioniert perfekt. Leider konnte ich aufgrund des Wetters noch keinen Erstflug machen, .... jedoch denke ich sollte das Dank der Tips von 'The RC Geek' ( http://thercgeek.com/2016/01/freewing-f-14-setup-flight-review/ ) kein Problem sein. Die Entwickler der F-14 (und der F5-Swiss) haben in meinen Augen ganze Arbeit geleistet, .... ein Flugzeug dieser Komplexität, in dieser Qualität und zu solch einem Preis zu konstruieren, ..... vielen Dank dafür !!!! macht weiter so !!!mit freundlichen Grüßen aus Berlin / GermanyHaraldp.s.: die Lieferung war natürlich auch extrem schnell.”

“Purchase, Build, and Tx setup. If your looking at this review to help you make up your mind, don’t stop here with my review. I’m just one voice. I always read reviews and check out YouTube on models I’m interested. The RC Geek and RC Informer have great build, modifications, and transmitter set-up’s that are worth there weight in gold in watching on the F-14. After investigation I purchased the F-14. I wasn’t looking for something easy, in fact I wanted a little complexity. Unboxing. Well boxed. No issues. Shipping was quick, it’s MotionRC, it’s always quick. Assembly. Here is where the RC Informer and The RC Geek videos are great. As I said earlier, I wanted a little complexity, it’s not a 15min assembly. But it’s not all that difficult either. I followed the Informers battery tray modification, which similar to The RC Geeks, but not identical. The Mod allows larger MAH batteries (Flying time). Instructions were typical, the build video by Informer is step by step and is very helpful. Your going to want to purchase some extra items if your going to place your Rx in the back compartment. 6 male to male extensions. Motion carries. Optional. If your Spektrum, I’m DX20, purchase the Admiral 10 cg receiver andI bought a satellite receiver. The Rx fits under the wing back cover. Tx programming. Best advice i can give you again is to watch their videos. Then figure out which programming works for you, and that might be determined by your transmitter. I choose the Geeks, as it is scale to the full size F-14, and complex. But you get a great flying and landing bird. Thank goodness he had a download on his website. OMG! If I would have had to work out that programming, were talking days and days. . There are other mods you can do to the F-14;AfterburnersFunctional tail hook. Functional rear split air brake. Perhaps MotionRC on their next F-14 run will redesign the battery tray, main landing gear support, and possibly internally conceal the mains. Well that’s it for now.”
