Unbelievable. At the maiden i was shaking as never before, forget butterflies, you gonna have a dozen of al-37 spinning in your stomach .
little note if i may, a little warning, will might take 8 to 12 minutes before wiping the smile out of your face after landing .. just saying .
great choice.

What's up fellas.. So I finally got around to the Maiden on my tomcat, oor should I say *****CAT. This thing is a TRAINER level easy plane to fly. I used RC Geek settings, which required some tweeking to convert from DX to NX tx (lol). Video is mostly my dumb behind chasing trim, not realizing there is a dumb rx (Admiral 10ch) in the plane. I forgot you have to actually "fly" the plane with these receivers lol. I have more than a few Spektrum AR9350 (NIB), that will accommodate the ch #'s needed to use the RCGeek settings, if you're so inclined, which I am, was. I'll post the vid w/AS3X in the Tomcat next..

I attached pics of my Spektrum setup using an AR9350, so only 9 channels. You will be able to see a working configuration. Sometimes if all else fails, start from scratch with a new model on your TX and RX. My channel 10 is programmed for Gyro gain. Aux 2 & channel 7 is Landing Gear, and Aux 3 & Channel 8 is Wing Sweep. Using spektrum receivers with built in gyros (AS3X), you do not need a physical channel open for gyro gain or mode selection.
I don't know about other RX's with built in gyros, but using the separate HobbyEagle A3S3, I needed 2 channels open just to use all of the capabilities of the gyro.

I got some work done on designing the main wheel well side covers. I test printed them and they fit pretty good overall. I may put these on Thingiverse if there is enough interest for something like this (I imagine very little, but who knows). It at least hides a very small part of the main wheel. The wing pylons hide more and I’ll be using those too.

Is this possible?Also looking to upgrade elevator servos to Hitec servos, what size do I need.
Thanks, Paul
Welcome to HobbySquawk! Yes, that power combo will work great in the F-14!
As for the elevator servos, the stock ones work great. I have had two of these, the first got upgraded wit hthe A-10 power system, and the current one runs on the Mig-29 inrunners. No issues with the elevator servos at all. Not sure what Hitec servos would work as replacements.Pat
