But yes, Pogo's elevators are a curios thing indeed. With 150mm CG one would expect something around the 5.5mm from bottom edge as the manual calls for (which is actually a fair bit of up elevator trim since the plane is nose heavy at 150). The by far most likely explanation would in general be that the CG is indeed more tail heavy than 150, maybe more like 160-170 (I currently fly mine around 175, but please don't try that without going baby steps). But if that can be ruled out, I'm not really sure that else to look for. It is hard to imagine the AoA of the wings are SO different from one model to another to explain this much difference in elevator positions. Even at 175, my elevators are more positive than Pogo's I think.

Certainly doesn't need a gyro at all - it is very steady without too once you have your rates and expos dialed in. It just makes it look better.
Also definitely recommend tailerons. It is a huge improvement over the stock configuration. Just be aware that tailerons add a LOT of roll authority, so rates need to be dialed down quite a bit.Freewing A-10 turbine conversion: http://fb.me/FreewingA10TurbineConversion

I have about 8 flights on my Freewing F-22 and loving it more and more each time I fly her. Recently, I installed an afterburner by LIGHTBURNER. The afterburner arrived on time and packaged well. The instructions were easy to follow and with color illustrations. Very simple installation and set up. I Y-Harnessed the unit to my throttle channel and connected power with the installed balance port to the 6s lipo's balance port. I also painted the exhaust ducts with Rust-Oleum CHROME paint. The LIGHTBURNER is a DUAL edf afterburner that adds some extra realism to the F-22 Raptor.5 Photos

I bought the 8s version, and just bought (3) 2s packs to run with 3 almost new 6s packs (same brand and specs). If I had the same plan, I would just buy a 6s fan off RC Groups classifieds to use until wanting to fly 8s...
Or just fly 8s, being as the F-22 is actually pretty easy to fly.
