yea.. its the AR9100 their is no "main" antenna so to speak.. all of the reciever antenna's are remotes but you must have 1 remote plugged into 1 port and atleast a 2nd reciever as well.


Flight vid im not sure. depends on how long it takes the new owner to get it up and going.

lmao... you have noooooo ideaaa.. The F-14 will be atleast 2 year project. As it will be an all composite scratchbuild.. IE i have to build plugs, then detail them, then make molds. Then start pulling fiberglass parts. then design the inner structure, then design and have the swing wings and retracts made.
The F-14 project is no where close to being ready to have work begun. Im waiting on plans to arrive, and a solidworks program to start converting all the mechanics of the swing wings and LG struts into 3D cad to send to a friend for machining.

So what do you think it will cost just for the fuse build.

the plug or the first fiberglass useable part? the plug.. probly $600 and lots of time. the first fiberglass part.. probly $2000

What's going on with this build?

Tom traded the F-18 for a pair of jets, one of which he exploded in the air. He sold the 2nd one and is building another eurosport.

Holly crap... I was cleaning up my thread registrations and I didn't see any activity on this thread. Since I didn't see the video I just assume nothing happened. Sad to see it go. Invertmaster MUST be a dude with a lot of patience to build such long projects... oh and LOTS of free time for sure. Selling his baby... his creation just like that... no wonder why one exploted.... it must have been a disappointed fan

This was nice thread but I'm disappointed that I didn't get to see the maiden video... come on!
Good luck invertmaster!

well the new owner expressed interest in selling it back to me for a pretty good price.. Problem is, i'm starting to pull the trigger on a 1/7 scale F-14 tomcat scratch build... Sooo.. if i could get a decent job with work and make some real money this year, i might actually be able to afford both... but we will see.. he's in no hurry and neither am I. The F-14 is more of a "pass the rainy day time" project than anything.
