The Grumman F-14A Tomcat is an American supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, twin-tail, variable-sweep wing fighter aircraft. It uses the TF-30 engines that were very much prone to engines stalls and causing accidents. It was retired in 2006 but is still in use by the Iranian Air force. Note:I did not install a gun so you'll have to do that yourself. Or, you can just wait for the next improved version. Oh and I'm very much aware of the time given for the Project Ace's challenge, I was just too lazy to upload the aircraft lol.
So you'll need to know some basic stuff regarding this aircraft :
1- Never pull the stick and make quick movements when flying below 300 mph, instead, make gentle movements
2- There is no AWG-9 Radar, sorry but no AIM-54s,for now ;)
3- the not-so-accurately-modelled geometrical wing sweep does have an affect on the aircraft lift, making a trim very useful, which goes on to my next point
4- this aircraft currently does not have trim
5- wing sweep operated by AG7
Anyways this is just an alpha version and I'm currently working on it to make it as accurate as possible, but with less than 160 parts.
Criticism is welcome.
P.S. The landing gear system is operated by the VTOL and AG8, and the front landing gear is controlled by the landing gear switch. Pretty crappy system, I know.

@Kurt I looked into your profile, and you've got pretty good and simple builds. I suggest that you use the custom fuselage and cone, along with two mods: overload and fine tuner. They're pretty great tools and will have a massive change on your builds, all while maintaining parts below 100. Also, thanks for the comment, glad you liked the cat!
WoW this is pretty Good As in Simplicity, in a Great way !
I however made a Tomcat but it is More Simple Because SimplePlanes, I’m not all into the 0ne Thousand Parts style but I’m also only on ios:P
Anyway Awesome Job !
This one is really nice too! Try to use some of the XML modded landing gears so they automatically retract and so that they are hidden in the fuselage
@Aeromen OMG thanks alot man, did you try it?
