Beautiful ! perfect ! and what a Blue Sky !
Congratulations on a great jet !
That first swept wing banked pass! Wow!! Just awesome!
Oh yea!!!!!🙌
Hats off to all those involved. Outstanding!
Thank you!
VF 41 Black Aces and VF 84 Jolly Rogers were the 1st Tomcats to fly off Nimitz 77-78 Med my last deployment, the continued to deploy on Nimitz well into the 90s.
😎
That pilot is smoking good! So is the guy that built it..Lol! What a great aircraft and test flights. And what a freaking collection!
Thank you! KOOL on the Sticks!
Outstanding shipmates. Press on. USS Kitty Hawk CV-63. Jan 1980 to July 1983. RC er for life.
AWESOME!!! Congratulations on an amazing project/build!!! As always, GREAT job Koko!!!
😎
Great skills on the sticks especially pn the landing. No wabbling just smooth, greased landings
Kool on the sticks!
Congrats Jon/David. Another beautiful build! I was waiting for the sonic boom after he swept the wings ;-)
No Kidding! Bad A$$!
Can't wait to get it on video 😊
🙌
It flew fantastic, such a treat to have David bring these masterpieces to Montana Jets each year. Plus we have a great time.
😎👍
Love the homage to VF-41 with the paint scheme.
😎
I watched the build of this. Estimated costs around 35k total (including radio and turbines), and I 100% get nervous about that test flight. ONE thing goes wrong and a small car in costs is mostly eliminated... for good.
All part of the rush!
@@thelightersideofrc This is why I keep building smaller RC stuff and will never do a turbine... maybe if I had "stupid money"... but I'll keep working on my Bates 1/5th SBD...
Great flying jet. Looked so smooth in the air. In both wing configurations.
Absolutely Beautiful Jonathan!!
Fred Weaver
Many thanks!
Excellent. What a build, what a plane, what a pilot.
Kool on the sticks!
Followed since u got it. Congratulations and what an amazing aircraft! Man that landing I watched 5x times. That turn radius and smooth landing. Crazy! Really needs an onboard camera!
Thanks for following along! KOOL on the sticks is Fantastic!
Landing looked like a real carrier landing.
Congratulations - watching it from the build table to the flight line was very satisfying. The wing sweep bank fly by was fantastic .😁
Thanks Sal! Very rewarding to see the whole process!
Fantastic plane! Great job Jonathan!
Kudos to the camera man/woman. Superb job!
Thanks! Any usually get better footage when i'm not flying and i'm behind the camera😂😉
Absolutely beautiful in flight. I love seeing this. Thank you!!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing! Congrats!!
Thanks!
Awesome video.. Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you!
Fabulous! Great job!
Thank you!
Absolutely amazing 🙌🏻🙏🏻🚀
KOOL on the sticks is stunning!
perfect !
Great to see her in the air - so stable when wings are swept!
For sure! Always a happy day when you sweep the wings and they come forward again as they are supposed to!😂
@@thelightersideofrc What about the CG position with sweeping wings ? Does it stay at the same place or different trimming needed ? Thanks, David.
It sounds and looks amazing
☺
Pretty work guys !!!
😎
Sounds amazing
The beautiful sound of twins!
Check your six! There's a Black Ace among you!😉
Cool 😎
Thanks for watching!
Excellent job. Great building and good pilot for amazing and beautiful plane
Thank you!
ABSOLUTLY GORGEOUS plane
😎🙌
Great flight and successful build with Tomcat!
Where was second landing?
Only caught snippets of the second flight! I wanted to see it NOT through the camera
Awesome Aircraft, AMAZING Pilot!
😎
Outstanding, nothing else needs said. ❤
Thank you!
Bravo....NICE pilot
Thanks for watching!
👌👏
😎
Congrats maiden flight F-14 XXL. Looking good, impressive in flight nice landing.
Thanks a lot!
@@thelightersideofrc welcome looked great in flight & landing.
Hello de toute Beauté !!!! c une machine magnifique ! Merci pour le partage ... Stéph de FRANCE .
Thank you!☺
Beautiful maiden
Thanks!
Man I would love to fly this. I love the F-14, I never got to fly the real one BUT in Topgun Hard Lock on Xbox, im 1st place nation wide in every category, AND in Ace Combat 6 and 7, im beating the breaks off my opponents.
With the F-14 D in Ace Combat 7, I actually won 1st place in a free for all. Its a big deal because I didn't know you could hyper mod every aspect of the fighter in Player vs Player mode, and I had no mods at all.
😎
❤👍👍👍
😎
Any thoughts on what caused the initial gear issue? Personally, I wouldn't fly it again until I felt confident the problem was resolved. But I'm chicken. 😳 But loved seeing it in the air.
Yes. The two main doors intersect with eachother. Some sanding resolves the issue.
Most are tent RC video. I’ve seen in a while good job. It is so realistic.
I meant authentic!!!!
😎🙌
Thanks for watching!
Stunning peice of kit Team. Flys like on Rails and then some.😅😂
Thanks Nick! 😊
Awesome,! Does it turn right?! 😮😅😊 lol.
It does. just not on the first setup flights!☺
It honestly looks like it flies very easy for how big it is
Very light and floaty!
Very very cool! Alittle above my pay grade but awesome 👍. Lol
😎
Call me old school, but a first flight should also include a relatively high slow flight, high alpha, and maybe an approach to stall to see the behavior in those regimes of flight. Will high alpha cause a flame out, will it abruptly snap at a higher airspeed than anticipated, things like that. Yes it makes a beautiful fly by no doubt, but how is control response at high alpha slow speed, what is the throttle to angle of attack profile like. I always want to know my flight envelope on both ends of the spectrum. Look into a full size EAA flight syllabus and take a few points to import into your first flights. Make it a real test flight. Not to take away from your awesome job of building and flying that big critter. Also as a old school Naval Aircrewman, love the Tomcat.
I believe the same pilot who flew this jet already has experience flying the same model so he most likely already knows how it’s going to fly. I could be wrong. This channel has another video of this exact same model in red and it looks like the same pilot flying it
Same pilot did the maiden of the first one last year. That one was the smaller version. For a Pilot like KOOL all of the extra stuff is not needed at all. First flight. Get it up and trimmed in all conditions and get it down safe. No time for anything more than that generally.
Has anyone gotten a top speed reading?
Pilot must watch Nascar with left turning only 😅
for the first flights it's nascar only.
Flies like a slow bus. But sweet
Gentle flier!
Does Koko do all your test flights ?
Probably, when it's his Dads jet. 😊
With this process he does the first flights of the years fleet for this customer.
@@thelightersideofrc Got it. Smooth pilot, I can see why.
Now we need to catch a 3 wire....
😂😎
