Hello. I have been searching and searching for someone who has done this thrust testing on the stock f14. I have been having an issue with mine and i felt like i had lost power. But after watching this video i know i have not. I get 7lbs thrust on my stock setup. I think i must have missed which inrunners you went with? can you provide a link or full description? Thanks.

I’ve never tested one but fms claims 3500 grams of thrust on 6s. Two of those should get you pretty close to a 1:1 thrust ratio.Planes

scooter genie Thanks for the explanation. I’m considering going that route myself.
On another note has anyone tried wiring the the escs in parallel and running one battery like eflite’s new su-30 does? A config similar to the su-30 could be beneficial for weight savings and would make achieving cg that much easier. Is there any reason in particular that freewing went with a dual battery configuration?

Cheap F14 cockpit work around; so here in Florida that sun bubbles the foam fast and especially for this particular canopy, (I personally hated the way it would look) so I bought a large sheet of thin black construction paper, measured and cut the paper over all the exposed foam area (entire cockpit) glued, then carefully used a thin paint brush to dot in dials and controls as scale as possible. Painted seats green. Painted and cut 4 small pieces of servo wire for iconic ejection seat handles, glued them onto seat with paper over it, and this turns out to look a thousand times better than what I had. Sure you can try to get the 3D print stuff but if you don't have access to printer this is a great work around. Whole process takes a good 2 hrs to complete.
