Freewing 90mm F-22 Raptor - Official Thread

My 8S does 126 flat level but that's air speed and not ground speed.


Mriberio, easy to swap power plants in these planes and I'm sure you'll find someone willing to swap a 12 for a 9.

Airspeed is definitely a better gauge for performance. This is just a blast to fly.

Well today I got mine to 135mph. Plenty fast for me. Really love this jet.

Dang! That's blazing! Mine can smoke pretty good on a WOT pass but I'm not touching that top speed.

[rifleman_btx]

They can be really exciting at high speeds.

Yes indeed!

Hi there,

I have the Venom with outrunner 90mm 12 blade.
I will buying the F22, but PNP only have the 9B inrunner HP.

I love the sound of the Venom with 12B. So its so much different sound:
F22 90mm 12B outrunner - old version
F22 90mm 9B inrunner HP

I dont look for max speed, i love more the sound then the speed.

Tks for the help.

It was the outrunner and I swapped with the new 9 blade inrunner fan and love it.

Nice! Is that stock setup?

The balance tap is wired for a specific number of cells/ voltage. By him saying the negative of the ESC you are doing what I said and wouldn’t have a ground loop.

Thanks Evan for the input. I plugged it into the 6s balance plug and it works fine. And I’m not sure if it would work on the 2s either. The afterburner came with a 6s plug so I used the 6s.

[McDaniel]

Other than the control rods, the servos are the same (same type/model, same servo arms)?

You could put the servos side-by-side and check if they have the same deflection throughout the movement range.

Well I settled for some compromises, and now I think it will be fine, with the flightmodes and all the trimming saved to each flight mode, it should not be a problem. Thank's everyone for the inputs.

I will check again tomorrow...

Ok thanks when I talked to Ray awhile back he said to plug it to the negative side coming off the esc which I did and it works great with two 4s batteries just didn’t know with a 6s and a 2s which to plug it to.

[Evan D]

Oh there’s a special question. You have to be careful of ground loops. Do you know what they are. Basically different grounds. If the 6s has its black wire to the ESC/ BEC’s black wire you have to use it. That way the negatives are linked up. If the 2s has its black wire to the ESC/ BEC black you have to use it but can it run on 2s?

You will smoke the power board in the AB for f you don’t follow this… you’ll see it as the lead melting…

[Av8er278]

Evan I posted awhile back but didn’t get a response from anyone. My question is if using a 6s and a 2s battery to make 8s which balance plug do I plug the afterburner on? Thanks.

[Evan D]

The horn are where the are to use two of the same servos instead of a normal and reverse. No issue with that.

When your Flaps are up/retracted, does the position of the Servo Arm on each Flap appear to be in a similar position/angle or different?

With flaps, I often prefer to use a separate channel for each for ease of adjustability. They can be annoying to set-up sometimes on the same channel to obtain equal alignment in all conditions.

I will check again tomorrow...

[T-CAT]

I have a Jeti Rex7 Assist but could change to rex 10 Assist, but I am wondering about all the others out there....
