Freewing 90mm F-22 Raptor - Official Thread

Gravythe clown Is that the stemwings kit you're using?

I plan on adding lights to mine at some point this winter. Here's a great video of a few raptors at night. Now if there were a way to simulate the flame extended beyond the tail....

yes it is it went in nice. However I changed out blades very often. I used a new blade to cut in each of the six lights. I used gorilla glue to set them. I used very little but it still foamed up through the seams in the wings. So I got some clean up to do there.

I'm hoping to finish her up today. Not sure when the maiden will be. Not worried though as this is my second 22, so I know how she flies

Just need to finish up the nav lights and change out the main tires when they get here. I love how the slimes look powered up.

Flying my F22 i just wondered if i could setup my radio to pass from the take off to cruise mod and from the cruise to landing an in the same time to go up/down the landing gear. Someone use this facility? I just found how to switch using only button between the three flight phases.

She’s ready to go. I got my new main wheels last night.

My daughter made the AMRAM base symmetrical if you want to display it outside the launch rail

Had one of you put a camera to see if our F22 have the same issue with flutter of the rudders like the real one ? If yes what small camera can i use for that?

thank you sir. After doing the nav light mod, I now even understand less why they are not included in the kit.

that was one of the this I disliked about my first 22, no nav lights in a big 90.

Got my maiden done today. The new power system is much better, tailerons is the way to go, and the Dubrovnik tiers are great.
the biggest thing though was the Nav and slime lights both visible while flying by the eye in partly cloudy sky.

I got 3 flights in with a HRB 6s 6000. Good flight times, I going to see if there any improvement next time using a 5000.

Dubrovnik tiers?

[SanExup]

Dubrovnik actually looks like a cool city to visit.

When I was young it was on my bucket list but that was 40-50 years ago.

[SanExup]

Ha! When you were young 40-50 years ago. I'm beginning to understand that perspective. It's hard to swallow nowadays that I think of 30 year olds as being really young.

Yeah, I've heard that whole coastline of Croatia is pretty spectacular. I have a friend whose sailed up and down the coast there a few times and keeps talking about going back. It certainly looks worthy of the effort.

Lol why would it auto correct that from Dubro? That is funny though.

Hello everyone,

Here is some of the build process of the Freewing F-22 Raptor (Super Scale) I am currently building. I have completely gutted the entire plane of all servos, wires, and wing connectors. Everything will be custom and high quality, as this is my personal preference. Ive flown this same model but different airframe many times over. This is my favorite jet of all time. I have had the jet for 4 months now and have slowly been working on it. I have some more to post on here as well. She will be powered on 12s with 17lbs of thrust for no reason :)

[HamiltonsHangar]

Some more work in the scale lighting. The lights on the top of the wing, and the bottom. I went with 5mm unilights :) 🔴🟢⚪️

[HamiltonsHangar]

Here are the rudder servo trays I created along with the hardware placed to withstand the HV servos. I love the way they look! This turned out great and I am happy with the end result! :)

Well I learned today that the ribbon cables are not wired like I thought. I made the faulty assumption that the red and black wire of the 8 was + and -

For those wanting a quick reference, i finally spent a couple hours sciencing the **** outta the pinout of the bluebox and drawing it up😅
