    This week we have awesome planes, epic crashes, and tons of laughs! First we meet up with a good friend, John Overstreet to fly the new FT-F 14. This monster size DIY jet has fully functional wings and an amazing flight envelope. We put this plane to the test and even come in close contact with an epic mid air collision. But don’t worry, a little bit of foam, tape, and hot glue and we’re back at it again going from beautiful IDF jets to 30 minute builds that anyone can do we test out and have some fun with our newest release, the FT netball and FT flyer, these classic models I made a return to the flitetest store in a new reimagined way that makes flying and building even more enjoyable than its original version later on we hit the road to join John and Missouri to attend Johns plane crazy build day. This event is a free outreach ministry that is open to the public. We build, fly and teach people the joys of flight and make memories while helping them to build the very own aircraft. FT also has a special surprise when Michael and Josh decide to bring their paramotors and explore the grounds with John and Lees help of a off-road escort with one of the most epic flights we’ve ever had!

Now I will never have that kind of skill believe me don't say it'll only take practice cuz that's not true. He is an artist plain and simple.

    Also a big difference is the F-14 Does not use ailerons the only roll control on the 14 was a set of Spoilers the tail planes were what controlled roll and pitch what the wings did have were flaps and leading edge slats i think that is why you where unable to fly it with one wing out

    1:30 Just something I noticed, the wings appear to be TOO far forward on the sweep. Maybe adjust the end points to make sure it looks more scale. Once again, just something I noticed, it still is an INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL jet!

    • @michiganengineer8621
      @michiganengineer8621 Před rokem +2

      I was thinking the same thing. The forward position is CLOSE, probably only a difference of 5 degrees of sweep.

    • @mickey1299
      @mickey1299 Před rokem +1

      Sorry , but the wing angle looks about right , for the high lift , low drag configuration .
      The F14 was originally a purpose designed , and built shipborne aircraft for use on a 200 ft runway . Sweeping the wing fully forward like this , enabled full use of flaps and slats to achieve high lift , very low speed , so badly needed for carrier operation . I have to admit , it's not one of the prettiest configurations for the 14 , but it was efficient .
      The Tornado in contrast , was designed from the outset for land based operations . Where long tarmac runways , in excess of 1000 ft abound . To that end the wings never needed to be swept that far forward , as the runways were longer .
      A straight wing is far more efficient , and stable at slow speed , than a swept wing , however , completely the opposite is true for very high speed . Also flap arrangement is more difficult on a swept/delta wing . The latter often not having such devices they rely on aerodynamic lift to slow down , ie concorde . This would have made the 14 totally unsuitable for ship board operation , and hence , the reason for the variable geometry wing .

      @@mickey1299 Right, I do understand the benefits of the variable geometry wing. The thing is, I’ve seen topside/bottom side images of F-14s with the wings in the takeoff position, and it appears at 1:30 that the wing is ever so slightly more “forward” than scale. Remember the “wings out” position is still 20 degrees of sweep. It’s very minimal but it is barely noticeable.
