I love that photo Alpha. It makes the Admiral 5000 look like a tiny little nugget, which just goes to show how big this F-22 really is!My YouTube RC videos:

Hi Visva11, welcome home to Hobby Squawk! We'll be discussing a 3DPUP Door Set for those interested in fitting outer gear doors to their F-22. It wasn't a big ask on the F-4, but for some reason a few people have inquired about them on the F-22, so we're working on a set that installs with relative ease for anyone with basic modeling skills and tools.

Hey PaulZ, we're going to make it happen for you and my fellow "scale geeks", as you call it. The clearance of the outer door is such that it won't bottom out on grass even with the main strut fully compressed, so I'm more confident as a practical matter that it would function well. We did fully enclosed gear doors on the T-45 (10 door panels in all), but the lower ones are prone to tearing out on grass.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

Question. Over on the Freewing 70mm BAe Hawk T1 Thread,
they mention using a 5800 35C battery and the Admiral 5,000 6c, on a 70mm jet! Seems the Admiral is undersized for the F22? Doesn’t seem logical that that 5,000 battery would be the right choice for both a 70mm and 90mm jet.. I realize that is the biggest battery that MRC offers..

Hi Flying Hawk,
We design our aircraft to accommodate battery ranges, when possible, to maximize the aircraft's appeal and lower the cost of ownership for those with existing batteries. This is due in part to size, wing loading, bay volume, and internal layout. The chances a model can meet these requirements declines the smaller its fan is:
*All 90mms can fly a 6s 5000 (eleven aircraft)
*Most 80mms can fly a 6s 5000 (five aircraft)
*Few 70mms can fly a 6s 5000 (two aircraft)
If modelers choose to use heavier batteries than recommended (i.e. 5800mAh in a 70mm Hawk) or lighter batteries than recommended (i.e. 2600mAh in 70mm F-104) that is their own prerogative.
My team's prerogative is to ensure our batteries, which are industry common sizes, can be flown by our aircraft. There will be other battery sizes an aircraft can fly, but as long as the Venn diagram includes one of our batteries, our customers with those batteries are covered.
This is one of the reasons why we haven't developed an aircraft that required 5s to fly well... Because few people have 5s packs.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

I am himming and hawing on this one.... so close to hitting "add to cart"..... ... Its a SMART buy... as it represents the latest and greatest in engineering, Seems to fly like a dream.... Long flight times for 90.... was gonna get the f-14.... I may have to buy both... grrrrrr LOL .....

My concern is if the 35c or 45c battery will suffer from the higher amp draw. Obviously I want all the power I can get for the longest flight time but not at the expense of damaging the costly battery.
I already own 2 sets of Turnigy Graphene 6s 5000mah 65c.and 2 sets in 45c that I use on my FW A-10 and my Goblin 700 helicopter that are mounted on trays. I personally have not noticed any difference in power, flight time, IR ohm levels or heat build up between the different C rated batteries I don't fly either of them hard or fast since I mostly fly big air.
So until I get some new batteries that are dedicated to the F-4 and F-22, I will use the 65c batteries on my F-4, Hopefully the weather will be good this week so i can maiden it.
My question to the Jet guys on this forum who are wayyy smarter than I, please give me ya'lls advice on the pros and cons of 70c vs. 45c vs. 35c batteries???
Thanks, Brent

Brent,
I have been flying the RT packs for 2 years now. I put these on an IR meter, and the 35C packs have a true C rating of 20C. For the 5800 packs, this means they can safely discharge at 116A continuous without damaging the pack. For the 6250 it's 125A. I have been flying these in all of my FW 80 and 90mm jets, and I've not had one pack puff or go bad. I have about 20 packs of these batteries, and the only ones I've retired are ones from crashes. These packs are rock solid, and I see no reason to have to get anything over 35C. In my F-4 I'm running a JetFan 90mm with a HET 700-68-1680kv motor, and RT 4S 5800 35C packs in series for 8S. Works great!Pat
