F-14A VF-84 Jolly Rogers

50.8k Falkenwut  3.3 years ago

Name: F-14A VF-84 Jolly Rogers
Type: Repica with detailed job
Attempt #: 4
Falkenwut Generation Build: 6

About 1 year later, my 4th attempt on an F-14, this time with the famed VF-84 Jolly Rogers colors.

This time I have worked on a realistic Central Air Data Computer (CADC) using Funkytrees the best I could. This is how it works:
- At slow speeds, the Wings of the F-14 are spread open automatically, with Flaps and ailerons/wing-spoilers usable.
- Once it reaches Mach 0.4, the wings will slowly start to swing backwards, making the flaps and ailerons/wing-spoilers unusable
- Once it reaches Mach 1, the wings will be fully swept backwards, and the front wing-vanes will extend.
- The CADC swing-wing mechanism has an over-ride and can be swept back as much as you wish, however the wings cannot extend outward more than what the CADC sets.

Hope you guys like it, it's been a tough build to make.
Special thanks goes to @Inuyasha8215 for inspiring me to make this build and helping me with many small details.
