Freewing 90mm F-22 Raptor - Official Thread

[Evan D]

I’ve posted a video. Yes to modes. On normal I have a basic set up. Flaps are just flaps and ailerons are only ailerons. I do have tailerons linked to my retract switch so they are on when the gear is up in all modes. Next mode makes the ailerons drop even with the main flaps but in this mode the flaps go down less than normal flaps. Third mode is crow and rudder air brakes. Using the right slider the flaps go down, the ailerons go up and the rudders go inboard. There’s also a lot of down elevators in this mode since the rudder airbrakes generate a lot of up pitch.

In addition I have flaps mixed to ailerons on high rate ailerons. I also had a elevator to flap mix but didn’t like what it did in flight so I removed it.

Evan D When you say crow, I'm wondering if you have the ailerons programmed as both flaperons and spoilerons? And what about the flaps, are they flaperons as well? Are you doing this by using different flight modes in the Tx? And if you are using flaps and spoilerons at the same time, is the benefit that it kills the floaty glide of the F22? Or I guess I'm asking how you use it?

It's kind of the reason why I wanted the F22, and I'd really like to setup my A6 this way as well, if it's helpful for landing approaches. Aside from looking cool, I can imagine it being useful for the Raptor but wonder if it would make the A6 drop like a rock. My lack of knowledge might be hindering my understanding, I'd like to understand it better. And I know the full scale A6's wing is different than the model. I'm just trying to get a grasp on what planes might benefit from having spoilerons and flaps, or full span flaperons. Maybe I should start another thread to pose the question but it does seem on topic since there's so much flexibility with the F22 in this regard.

[Evan D]

I have TVs, regular and full span flaps, Crow and rudder airbrakes...

Vertical? Not on 6S. Not to say it doesn't fly great on 6S but yeah not much vertical.

[gm3]

Ok cool

[fredmdbud]

I fly stock configuration (more or less book setup). If you want vertical climb, 8S. I'd say on 6S don't expect acceleration on vertical climb, but sustain speed just after pitch-up.

[gm3]

hey there i just bought the 6s inrunner version of the f 22. im curious of your guys opinions on the handeling and if you guys are using any special mixes (flaperon, elevon,speedbrake mixes, ect) im also very curious about the vertical performance of this edf and its climb performance from its slowest speed.

[Evan D]

I don't use AS3X (or any gyro) in mine, sorry.

[Blackhawk60L]

Who's using as3x on their f-22? Would anyone be willing to share their gain settings? I've been flying this jet for the past week off and on trying to figure out settings for the smoothest flight. It flys great with as3x off, and flight mode 1 (as3x on) for cruising, but I really enjoy flying high alpha, so in flight mode 2 (higher gain as3x on) the aircraft still wants to tip stall and be a little uncontrollable at a high aoa. I know this thing has a lot more potential than where I'm holding the nose. Not sure if it maybe where I have my servo linkages all on all the outer holes of the pushrods, or could be the factory recommend cg I'm using. Any suggestions on settings that other people use and know works would be a help. I can tinker with it but don't wanna make any major shots in the dark on my own and cause a crash.

Thanks,

Brian

Congrats on the successful maiden! I love the original livery!

Hello all,

Finally, I Manager to bring my Red Raptor in the air and save back on the ground.
In the beginning my hands were shaking, since the F22 is my first 90mm jet experience. Moreover my airfield is not plane at all and it suffers from many root voles.
Thanks for all the Information in this thread.

Hi Guys . where is the best place to luck for an afterburner light for the F22 ? cheers

[Charles'sRC]

Hey Peeps . I just ordered mine today. 8s 4075 ultimate version. Anything I need to know when assembling? Tips , tricks or do nots.

[Av8er278]

Thanks guys for the info. I’ll have to get some.

[Evan D]

Exactly. You can get them other places but Amazon has a good deal for them.

You'll hate this but I have a bunch in a bag since I unsolder them and put on clone T connectors.

[Blackhawk60L]

Heres a link for the anti spark I use:

https://www.amazon.com/Amass-Connect...ix=xt90&sr=8-5

[Av8er278]

XT-90 work well, especially the newer ones with anti spark.

Evan I just got XT90’s but didn’t know they have anti spark. Cause I get spark when I plug in. Where do you get them?

[Av8er278]

I was told the XT90 is the same as the EC5 plug as far as handling the amperage. So I switched to the XT90 also.

[Blackhawk60L]

Thanks for the input guys

[Evan D]

XT-90 work well, especially the newer ones with anti spark.
