X-flight F14 Tomcat Swing Wing

This kit contains the largest number of parts for a foamy kit and is the most sophisticated one. Definitely not a kit for beginner. I cut open the fuselage for access to the EDF, as I have not yet decide what power system I want to fly her.

The hinge is the critical part of this swing wing F14. My comment is the aluminium CNC hinge is not drilled deep enough to adapt the 5mm fiber tube. I drill 4mm further to let it sit as deep as possible, and CA it.

The stock fiberglass tube..... disappointing for this job.

I swap with a carbon fiber tube of the same size.

This tiny copper bushing is also an easily missed critical part to fix the hinge, that is not mentioned in the manual.
