![]() The variable sweep wings are set at 20° for take-off, loitering and landing and automatically change to a maximum sweep of 68°, which reduces drag for high subsonic to supersonic speeds. The variable-sweep wing and the twin almost upright tail fins of the F-14 Tomcat give the aircraft its distinctive appearance. The maximum take-off weight of the aircraft is 33.7t, while the empty and loaded weights are 19.8t and 27.7t respectively. Mind you, in the future I will be making it look more correct minus superfluous panels.F-14 aircraft has a length of 19.1m, height of 4.8m and wingspan of 19.55m. I will take a tape measure with me for sure if they still have the trainer cockpit that used to be there. It's been awhile since I have went anywhere on vacation, so maybe Pensacola might be a nice place to revisit since it has been a couple decades since the last time I was in that area. ![]() If your buddy can come up with anything Sniper, that would be great. We will see how much I can learn about those type of things. I will try and see what I can salvage of it and rebuild it more robustly and perhaps try to put some stepper motors on it for auto throttle. That, gentlemen, is what a waste of money looks like. I spent a chit load of money to a foreign company to have a throttle made which would have been great if it would not have been put together with plastic and Elmer's glue. You would be surprised how much Dzus railing costs, but there is a guy on eBay selling 5 ft sections for $30 or so, which is the best price I have found so far. I am going to try and have some acrylic cover panels cut to shape, painted and laser engraved down the road. ![]() I have been buying up old aircraft panels and reusing them without the cover panels so far. I have found a couple similar switches and such from other aircraft which do not have those issues. I learned I was allergic to marriage after the second one :/Īs far as parts, it is really hard to find many real items since the plane is still considered a national security item to try and keep parts out of Iran. So far I'm safe as I don't have wife-ack problems Grundar. I have been through the NATOPS Kludo, but thanks, maybe I should do so again more slow and diligently. Thanks for the input and well wishes fellas. Thanks for your time and/or consideration. Kicked my own posterior when I got back home and discovered this bit of subversion by my subconsciousness. I messed up my chance to sit in the cockpit and video various measurements, but in the scramble to take it all in, hurry to not stall the long line of those waiting after me and a general amount of excessive levels of cranial O2 I seem to have made the untimely sin of putting the recording settings into standby rather than record mode. Any sources or first hand knowledge would help. I am trying to build a sim pit and want to get as much realism as I can. I have been drawing a blank and making rough estimates based upon the standard width of the various left and right side panels as a constant for beginning to estimate the correct dimensions. I know there are many of you who are much more clever than I about how to track down the research needed for all the various dimensions of not only the overall interior cockpit area dimensions, but the various instrument and panel dimensions.
