RC Plane F-14 Tomcat "Yellow Tail" V2 PNP EDF 64 mm - Freewing

An RC F-14 Tomcat with Variable Geometry Wings

The F-14 Super Tomcat Yellow Tail V2 Freewing replicates the famous American carrier-based fighter jet with its variable sweep wings.

Two 23 g programmable metal servos control their pivoting in flight.

This configuration allows the wing geometry to be modified according to the piloting phases, transitioning from a deployed to a folded position.

The wingspan thus varies from 1,250 mm to 782 mm.

The electronic management also coordinates the operation of the wings and flaps.

A safety device prevents their simultaneous use in incompatible configurations.

This technical feature allows the characteristic operation of the real F-14 Tomcat to be replicated on an electric radio-controlled aircraft.

Dual Brushless Motorization and 64 mm EDF Turbines

The propulsion relies on two 64 mm 12-blade EDF ducted fans, each driven by a 2949-2500KV Inrunner brushless motor.

The two 60 A speed controllers independently power the motors and feature a reverse thrust function.

The system operates with a 6S 22.2 V LiPo battery, with a capacity between 4,000 and 5,000 mAh, equipped with an EC5 connector.

Freewing announces a static thrust of 1,950 g per turbine and a maximum speed between 173 and 185 km/h.

This twin-engine configuration provides the F-14 with propulsion suitable for the fast flight of radio-controlled jets. The weight of the aircraft without the battery is 2,555 g.

FreewingGuard 6-Axis Gyroscope and Flight Equipment

The PNP version includes a multifunction electronic board with a FreewingGuard 6-axis gyroscope.

The stabilization system is configured for both wing positions and helps the pilot control the trajectories.

The gyroscope settings can also be adjusted using the Freewing Blue-Bridge Bluetooth interface and the Freewing Flight Assistant app.

The equipment includes digital servos for the ailerons, elevator, rudder, and flaps, as well as two 17 g metal servos for the elevator controls.

The retractable electric landing gear features metal shock absorbers.

Six LED lights replicate the navigation lights and complement the cockpit details with its molded pilot and removable missiles.

The F-14 Tomcat: An Iconic Fighter Jet

Developed by Grumman for the US Navy, the F-14 Tomcat is a carrier-based fighter that entered service in 1974.

It is particularly known for its variable geometry wings, which adapt to different flight conditions.

Its distinctive silhouette and interception capabilities have made it one of the most recognizable military aircraft.

The Yellow Tail decoration of the Freewing model reflects the world of Tomcat squadrons and brings a unique visual identity to this radio-controlled reproduction.

PNP Version: Equipment and Required Materials

The PNP (Plug and Play) version comes with the brushless motors, two EDF turbines, speed controllers, servos, electric landing gear, lights, and stabilization board.

To complete the equipment, a compatible radio control with at least 7 channels and a 6S LiPo battery of 4,000 to 5,000 mAh with an EC5 connector are required.

Assembly takes about two hours.

With its intermediate to advanced piloting level, this RC jet is aimed at modelers already familiar with fast aircraft and the piloting procedures of electric turbine models.
