The E-flite® F-14 Tomcat Twin 40mm EDF is scaled to be practical for more pilots to afford and fly. Functional variable-sweep wings deliver an authentic experience while AS3X® and SAFE® Select technologies make it easier to fly than any other Tomcat model yet!

GRADUATE “TOPGUN” WITH FLYING COLORS

With the E-flite® F-14 Tomcat Twin 40mm EDF (Electric Ducted Fan) jet, more pilots can enjoy flying a replica of the iconic fighter than ever before! Developed for the U.S. Navy, the Grumman F-14 Tomcat made its first deployment in 1974 aboard the USS Enterprise, replacing the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II. This E-flite model is based on the F-14D Super Tomcat variant and the factory-applied finish pays homage to Strike Fighter Squadron 2 (VFA-2), also known as the famous “Bounty Hunters”. During its 2002-2003 deployment — the final cruise with the Tomcat — VF-2 participated in Operation Iraqi Freedom flying reconnaissance, close air support, CAP and strike missions. The F-14 Tomcat Twin 40mm EDF recreates the VF-2 fighter down to the functional variable-sweep wings and full-flying stabs to deliver an authentic and unique flying experience. It’s scaled to be practical for more pilots to fly and afford because it’s compatible with popular 4S 2200mAh batteries. Plus it’s equipped with exclusive AS3X® and optional-use SAFE® Select technologies — making it easier to fly than any other TOPGUN Tomcat EDF model yet!

THE MOST PRACTICAL F-14 EDF YET

Many RC pilots have dreamed of flying an F-14 one day — and the E-flite® F-14 Tomcat Twin 40mm EDF makes that dream a reality! It arrives fully-assembled and nearly ready to fly right out of the box including a factory-installed receiver with exclusive Spektrum™ AS3X® and optional-use SAFE® Select technologies. It’s ready to bind to your 6+ channel DSMX®/DMS2® equipped computer transmitter, plus you’ll receive real-time telemetry data including battery voltage, current, motor RPM and more via compatible Spektrum AirWare™ equipped radios. The twin 40mm fans and brushless outrunner motors are compatible with affordable and common 4S 2200mAh 30+C batteries to deliver an excellent blend of performance and flight times. Full-flying stabs and functional 3-position variable-sweep wings deliver an incomparable flying experience you can’t get anywhere else. The fully-molded EPO airframe is durable, lightweight, and factory-finished to pay tribute to the U.S. Navy’s VF-2 “Bounty Hunters” squadron. The fixed landing gear plus steerable nose wheel makes it easy to taxi, takeoff and land on smooth surfaces — or remove the landing gear for more speed and vertical performance when hand launching over and landing on grass. With the F-14 Tomcat Twin 40mm EDF you’re closer to being a TOPGUN than ever before!

I think I can say in the name of all RC fome plane lovers: thanks to God for HorizonHobby. You surprisse us again and again with every new release. And the fact that this baby out of the box is almoust ready to fly is awesome. For me the chioce of size is perfect. Hope to see one scream over our runway in the future. Big salute to all at HorizonHobby and all RC pilots here from Pilot Robert Slovenia.

I like that they are making 40mm jets now. Would love to see a UMX 40mm Viper or F16.

Freewing's F14 is a magnificent beast, but I am so glad that horizon has made one that I might actually be able to afford/have a place to fly. 40mm opens up a whole range of practically sized EDFs.

Is here oh YES!!!! Finally after a year almost

Just maidened mine. What a blast. Hand launching is easy and the size allows me to fly it at almost any park. The wing sweep feature is pure fun.
Even though it lacks rudder, I can still do fun slow speed maneuvers with the big elevons. Get it slow, pitch up hard and go full left elevon, the Tomcat will do a cool spin to the right and recover pretty easily. I’m gonna have so much fun exploring the flight envelope of this bird.

As I come from Sweden.. I´m offcourse in for Saab Draken and Viggen as the most iconic jetfighters for me. But the F14 is on par with these. I´ve preordered it too. The F14 has something to it that no other plane have. So.. hats off from Sweden to US and Eflite for bringing out this iconic plane :)

I feel the need. The need for endless Top Gun references at my local club with this model. Good news the pattern isn’t full in my hangar and this will be calling the ball in my checkout cart.

A dream jet of mine, I have commented many times that it should be added to the fleet. And for you guys to add it on my birthday just made it the best day ever. Keep it up Horizon Hobby!!!

Where is this F-14?

I've been searching for videos since this Jet first came to light almost a year ago.

I see it in stock in many places but can't find any review videos anywhere other than the Horizon Hobby team videos it's nowhere to be seen.


Just curious and can't wait to see some more of this plane. Thank you

A 64 or 70mm version would be nice to go along with my 80mm version

This is one of those "Shut up and take my money" moments :D And the sweep has 3 positions?!?! MID SWEEP IS NOW A THING!! CAN'T FRIGGIN WAIT!!

It looks good, Love to get it just to compare it with my with my current tomcat. Some are complaining that it's not more advanced but this size it's perfect! You don't want it more complex pilots! The wind sweep is harder than you think but with AS3X it will work great.
