Freewing 90mm F-22 Raptor - Official Thread

Depends on what you want you want to do. On most my planes I put steering on a separate channel so they are at least 7. The flat spin really needs tailerons so that needs an extra channel. On mine I put each aileron and flap on it's own channel for full span flaps and crow. I also have each rudder on it's own channel for rudder air brakes. So while 6 works you could have many more. If you need a gyro (I don't have one in this) you may need extra channels for that too.

I have a 12ch receiver in mine using 11 channels.

Hello there,
I am actually considering buying the F-22 soon and I have a question for the expert there.
How many channel I need on my receiver to use that plane to the full extent. I know its a 6 channels plane but I see alot of video with cool maneuvers like the flat spin where you see like the real plane the elevators moving in different directions. Do you need to have them on separate channel for that ?

So is a 6 channels receiver is good enough ? Or do I need a 7 or 8 channels receiver ?

Thanks

Depends on the video. The two here are 120fps for the first, 90fps for the second, both played back at 60fps for the most part with a few short and localized exceptions, so that's 0,5x and 0,67x.

You can actually tell when I'm slowing down the 2nd video further because I made a workflow error and some jenkiness / motion artifacts happened as a result. You can see in the two flat spins for example that the jet seems to move robotically, like stuttering. This is because I slowed the video first and stabilized later, should be done the other way round.

Starting to push harder the flight envelope and getting some pretty cool maneuvers out of it! :p

Very nice video. How many FPS are you shooting?

Very nice flying! Love the flat spins and those flip-floppy maneuvers near zero airspeed.

Am joining the show!

Anyone change the esc to have reverse thrust? If so what esc do you have?

I believe that either the Spectrum Avian or Castle Escs support reversing

Anyone's have cheating holes in this model?

[Av8er278]

Thanks Evan

[Evan D]

Yes, gear down and upright.

[Oachidori]

Question does everyone check cg with gear down and plane in flying position not inverted ??

Is there other possibility that that?

Hello all, I finally found time to unbox and assemble my 90mm F22 and I have some questions. first off, with a admiral 5000 bat. I have to push the bat. back half way off the battery tray to even get close to neutral CG. with the gear up and the canopy cover installed it is still slightly nose heavy??...I see videos of guys pushing the bat. closer to the blue box and flying that way. I have checked my measurement (150mm from wing/fuse crotch) and accurately marked it. Do you all just fly nose heavy?Or is the plane not that sensitive? What am I missing.
Also, how much if any expo you guys using with this aircraft. I'm new to EDF, any advise would be appreciated. won't be flying till spring anyway. Thanks

Hi, I have the same issue or not, I have the battery back to get 150mm.
do you fly like this?

[Evan D]

But 70mm is the width not the height. Mine are 75x 45x145 and there is a ton of extra room every dimension.

[mribeiro]

So two would be 70mm wide, 47 tall and 160 long, no problem. The F-22 has a very large battery area.

Yes, but 70 is on the limit, if some reason have 36 dont fit.

if some one measure i will appreciate
