If you're handy with an exacto knife you can build your own swing wing functioning F-14 from scratch for little more than the cost of the electronics: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=374502

I downloaded and printed all the plans and the build guide for his F-18 almost 10 years ago. Had a stack blue foam and everything. Unfortunately, I never got around to it. Ah... back in the days when I had time for that kind of stuff...

Glad to hear on all points Boxie! I fear this is going to become an expensive hobby once I'm buying jets like this F14.
The awesome thing about the UMX series of birds is there are a lot of excellent choices to pick from, even at this scale, that are very affordable. From scale warbirds to hair-raising 3D capable aerobats to screaming fan-jets, there's a lot of channels open (pun intended ) That said, if I were in your shoes, I'd pick up a Spektrum DX6 radio, so you can start playing with mixing and dual rates, as well as fly some of the models that don't come with a radio. Note, that while HH does still sell the DX6i for less (same radio I use), I'd just pay the extra money for a DX6 (which is the name of newer one...because some reason), as it's way more advanced. If money is really a pinch though, I'd consider the DXe, which uses your smartphone to program it for various models. Plus, said radio can be used with Phoneix, or you can get This version of realflight 7: http://www.realflight.com/products/gpmz4525.htmlThat'll see you happy for a long time

Ah... back in the days when I had time for that kind of stuff... I built his F-18 as well, still have it but needs some repair. Haven't flown RC in a while now, but I still have a big bundle of bluecore

And thanks for putting a tape measure in the box so we can get scale.
That is a big friggin' plane!

TBH I learned to fly on a Cub and on a Gallopin Ghost system ( http://www.singlestickstuff.com/the-history-of-the-single-stick/), once you master take-offs with a tail-dragger you'll never want anything else. [edit] in the old days we were fortunate if we had trim much less mixing

Not a beginners plane, a bad landing could really mess it up seriously That's assuming a beginner will manage a proper take-off, wide circuit and approach Those beauties are either shelves queens or experienced RC pilots toys, not much in between. Cheers, Slug
