Another one successful test flight of F14, showing the excellent design.
Excellent job!
As I know spoilers works with elevons to help the plane to turn.
With wings in closed possition, spoilers still functioning or is off?

the slow speed handling is great with no tip stall that the FEJ has.. the wings on the FEJ have 1.5deg difference that is difficult to fix. If you have a wing swing failure on the SM just move the operating wing to match the inop one and come in and land. You have a great machine here look forward to many years of flying it 
Can you explain what you mean by a 1.5 degree difference on the wing of the FEJ F14?
Thanks
John

Another one SM F14 equipped with spoilers, slats, speed brakes and operating canopy, is coming for me in few wees.
I will also use two 14kg thrust turbines.
I have changed some emails with mr Anton and Li Kai and they told me that 2x14kg thrust turbines are more than enough for this big bird.
Thrust to takeoff weight ratio is 1:1 (with 2 x 14kg turbines).
