[Music] so here is Steve Johnson the owner of this amazing F-14 which isn’t only one of the biggest aircraft if not the biggest aircraft here I think everyone agrees that it’s the coolest aircraft here you just want a trophy as well because of it so you can’t say it isn’t y I’m very very pleased first of all it’s massive yes what what size is it well I haven’t really measured it but I know approximately three uh 3.6 M by probably again 3.6 M now that’s impressive but the weight that’s that’s the really knockout one 56 kilos 56 kilos and we’ve just seen it Fly and it looks like a kite yeah it doesn’t fly heavy at all but now obviously this is the sky Master kit so it comes basically as we can see here as you see it here is exactly how it come out of the box I’ve not done any modification it is it is just install your electronics turbines go half F now it’s 56 kilos normally we’d have a big massive Wing tube huge massive Spar to support the load on the wings these ones it’s got a single pivot point because this airplane the wings retract back yeah so can you flip the switch how cool is that how much force must be going on on that single center pin so that insane the actuate is a 200 Newton um so that’s 20 kilos it’s the same as turbines yeah yeah no no sorry I’ve got that wrong I’ve got that absolutely wrong it’s a lot more than that um yeah it’s a lot more than I got that wrong so that’s fine so we’ve got the massive actuators which I think we can open up the side can we now that is a serious pivot point and mechanism but of course it has to be it’s a massive plane and it’s 56 freaking kilos now how does it actually fly with the wings like that compared to when they’re fully extended there’s no change it’s How can there be no change it’s it’s going from a plane to a Delta is it really when you flick the switch there is no change it just gets faster and more slippery it just flies delightfully well in both formats of flying that’s amazing um so when it falls away you lose the AL though you so right so the format of when you’re flying in in this configuration is just this just just El so you got elevator you got T on that’s it that’s all we got so Delta yeah turn we go and then as soon as you extend the wings y so we extend the wings now you’re back to having Alo on yep so the Wings come out do we still have tailor on as well yeah yeah yeah so what happens now is you end up with tailor on and then you have spoiler flaps so the flap goes down and the spoiler comes up like this and that is all you need and then the rudder Authority is for an aircraft like this you wouldn’t think the rudder Authority is good it is Uber impressive the r you got two of them yeah yeah it knife edges just perfectly that’s amazing yeah and we got a speed break at the back very nice and then if you want to stay at the back there we can just show you the flaps go down and then the restr of the hook goes down as well the restr of hook comes down so that that takeoff that’s that’s FL got the rest H yeah this is landing format that’s nothing yeah I we’re used to seeing on sport Jets and smaller jets that you have like 60 70 80° that’s that’s not even 45 yeah it’s like it’s like like a half flat configuration so it’s it’s we got the forwards we got the slats coming down and it looks like they’re going down almost about the same amount similar angles so that’s takeoff yeah and then f it looks surprisingly simple compared to the size and what you would expect for the complexity of it i’ I’ve been blown away by how well the aircraft has gone from day one the the test flight I was expecting everything to be terrible yeah and it it was just the easiest jet I’ve ever flown that’s amazing it’s one of we do always say bigger is better it is and this it’s definitely bigger yeah it’s definitely bigger and better cuz when you’re flying it you can relax and chill out I’m quite a nervous pilot I okay relax and chill out I may or may not cut into here a small clip that I think we showed you exactly of some shaking you SE that yeah but you did say that that was because it’s a show it’s a show a Show’s show I go jellyish you’re okay so it’s not the model it’s the show itself yeah the show you get you get anxious it’s I what I’ve always have done and it’s a tricky place to fly here oh yeah there’s a lot of trees [Applause] and then we’ got the canopy as well the canopy goes I mean it’s just a beautiful [Applause] plane okay [Applause] [Applause] St [Applause] w anything else you think that we should know right so I’ve got some the bits which are really important to guys who have got this aircraft and they’re really looking for information and we said this this is the sky Master yeah it’s the big F14 name at the beginning is um CG yeah is pretty spot on you can go a little bit more rearwards from what the sky Master manual says so but once we’ve got a manual that actually gets it right yeah that’s a nice change if you go as the manual says you’ll be flying away and very happy I’ve moved it back by about 20 mil and it just makes the aircraft a little bit more presentable aerobatic wise you know you can do a little bit more it flies a little bit straighter yeah um and you just get that nice nice straight line that you go um and it lands nicer you can get a nice higher we saw the landing it landed beautifully yeah and slowly despite the massive weight I um I strongly advise anyone to not do knife edge Wing sweep because it does put the aircraft under excessive load okay so let’s let’s just explain that real quick so basically when you are out to show it looks really nice to basically go into knife edge and either retract or extend the the wings the problem with that is that because you’re at knife edge if you’re going to pull them back the one at the top it’s really easy cuz gravity is wanting it to come down whereas the ones at the bottom is really heavy to pull up and that’s putting a lot of stress on the actuator so as cool as it is not recommended the actuator overheats and that would be a bad thing well basically you’re stressing the actuator and then you land and you could risk having the wings stuck back yeah which it will land with the wings back because it’s just a cat with the wings back the only thing I think we mentioned yesterday unless I got this wrong is if the wings are back the landing gear will not attract that is one thing I will must say if again for for owners the gear will not come down with a wing sweat back so so you really don’t want to stress the the actuators and risk having a belly landing yeah but essentially any of the all of the sky Master setup is absolutely perfect apart from adding the spoiler flaps on the wings you get the spoiler flaps on the aircraft to roll so originally these aren’t intended to be used as aons basically the Scarlet Sky Master manual is only saying to use these mix with the elevons but I’ve mixed this with a of down flap here the flaps won’t travel upwards so so you’re using you’re using the flaps as Alo on but only in the down on one side and you’re making the most of that you got that on the top to use that as the other a one that’s correct okay cool awesome but essentially it is a very very easy aircraft and I highly recommend it to anyone who’s anticipating buying one they’re just at the light you just need a big car big F and almost as important as that you need a friend to move it yes you do need a friend we just pulled this out the tent and I think he owes me a new back yeah yeah you do need a very strong friend but anyway awesome model really great flying thanks for talking to us thank you very much look forward to seeing it flying again thanks mate thank you love it what R of appuse for that was a that he took off from the left and he landed from the right
