Closest I got to having an R/C Warbird looked like an F-14 Tomcat, but it was not a ducted fan, was before they had the actual R/C sized jets, and the wings were fixed in the swept back position. It had a prop on the nose and the engine cylinder kinda stuck out the side of the nose. It was still fun with retractable tricycle landing gear and doors though. Up down, up, down, up, down. End of life was a landing incident involving a railroad tie caused by the high stall speed and the afore mentioned retractable landing gear not responding to steering inputs. Stripped the landing gear and gear doors right off.
