Here is my customized Freewing F-14 80mm EDF Jet converted to a F-14A variant in the VF-111 Sundowners livery (most of the decals/vinyl are from Callie Graphics), weathering, new pilot figures and ejection seats, some cockpit detailing, upgraded Taileron servos (Hitec D85MG) and Du-Bro linkages, and the Freewing 80mm 9-blade fans with 1920kv inrunner motors, concealed rudder hinges, concealed rudder servo wiring, concealed vertical stabilizer front screws, green windshield tint, white painted landing gear struts, and 3D printed parts. Many of the 3D printed parts I have installed on the jet I enjoyed designing myself, and they have really aided in adding realism and fun to the whole project. The 3D printed parts I designed are as follows, removable ventral fins, new rear battery tray and wire-tunnel/organizer, wing box screw hole plugs, fuel dump port, some cockpit detail like ejection seat handles, servo driven tail-hook and full plastic assembly, AOA indicator on the nose gear and new smaller center lined nose gear light assembly, ESC holders, RX holder, semi-scale main wheel hub caps, heat exchanger vents on the top intake area, main wheel-well side covers. The 3D Printed F14 A-variant exhaust nozzles were not made by me and are from chrisk83 on Thingiverse.

This is my Highly modified Al37. It has the twin 70mm edf’s and esc’s from the al37. It has the retracts from the al37 which separate the model at the top of the flight to release the 10 foot parachute. It has the twin thrust vectoring units from the 80mm mig and an admiral receiver. It’s 9 feet tall and 1 foot in diameter. It weighs 6 pounds.

The “G” Da weasel buddy! I don’t know.. people have seen me post the mods to make this jet. Moding an E 3d print into a G is no small task.. every little scale feature added.. This probably represents the closet thing to scale I can make. Like others I can’t decide on one picture. You decide. Evening you can see the lighting mods better but can’t see The paint as well… so I’d probably go with 1 of the 2 day pics.. the night has AGM88s and day is AGM45s.

Just a quick shot of another customization from Jeff’s Custom RC for a friend in Florida.

MotionRC Freewing 80mm A-10 ThunderboltII Livery: Selfridge Air National Guard Base(Michigan)107thFS Red Devils 100 YEARS Celebration. There is only one full Scale Warthog with the Red Devils livery. The base color of the full scale is Olive Drab Green for camouflage. I kept my base color gray for visibility during approach and landing. By design camouflage works well to disguise and conceal from enemies. It not so great when an RC aircraft is camouflaged from it's RC pilot! There are great photos and videos online and on YouTube of the only full scale Red Devils livery. My attempt was to try to duplicate the livery while keeping the plane visible below the tree line. The picture was taken at Triple Creek RC Club field in Riverview, Florida of which I am a board member. We have 39 unobstructed AMA sanctioned acres to fly this beautiful warbird! It's an amazing warbird to fly. It takes a 20 to 25mph wind like it's nothing at all!

This is Kyler’s Freewing F-4 Phantom that he was given by Tom Taber and had already been customized once before. This was Kyler’s first customized jet that he did more than me on and he’s pretty excited about that. His jet is customized after the Hill Air Force Base test and evaluation squadron, and is currently on the pedestal at the entrance to the hill Air Force Base Museum in Utah.


Picture #1 is the picture we would like to use unless its thought that a better one is in the pictures.
