After going to the 9 blade 6s fan with mine, I'm very pleased with mine. It really changed the dynamic of the plane. Feels 100% better over stock

Honestly, in regards to flight character, I think the Freewing F-22 90mm EDF Jet is in my Top 5 all-time greatest Freewing jets. Once it’s all dialed in, you test the various configurations of flight, etc., it is a very sweet flying machine, versatile, and forgiving.

Have fun and congratulations on the F-22!

Aros, I can't wait for the turmoil to begin!

To celebrate the arrival of the Draco, I bought an 8s F22 with all the money I saved not buying the Draco! I'm so excited I just had to share! From what I gather and have seen, the F22 is the Draco of EDFs, minus the lights but I'll add those. Thanks to you guys for going on about how much you love it!

From my most recent flight...Yeah, you're just gonna hate her.

[SanExup]

Thanks Evan! I knew if this plane is one of your favorites that it must be good! It seems like most everyone loves their's. Hmm, TVs...

[Evan D]

Great post! You'll love it. Add TVs if you can.

Have an issue with nose gear not coming down. Doors open but gear does not come down. Main gears comes down. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Not sure if it'll help, but I had a similar issue years ago. You can read the troubleshooting process here:

Try testing servo itself to isolate problem

[Tigerman]

Is there much difference between the F 22 with the 9 blade outrunner motor compared to the F 22 with the 9 blade inrunner motor????

That's sweet Aussie1! Bet it sounds amazing too.

Thanks Aros! The X45 is very quiet for a turbine anyway, but the oval pipe gives it a very throaty growl which sounds very cool! I recently flew it at a large national jet meet over here and a couple of pilots remarked that they were the brightest and most scale looking afterburner lights that they had seen. Here is a video of a flight, unfortunately before the lights had been installed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc1Vzg5KxRk

Yeah, I just saw the file on thingiverse

I've being having a ball flying this jet with a X45 turbine, so far one of the easiest conversions that I have done. It carries one litre of fuel and gives up to 10 minutes of flying and unlimited vertical! I bought some cheap centre burner lights off eBay and they are incredibly bright and effective mounted either side of the thrust tube. I made my own pipe and weight without fuel came in at 3.7KGS, this little video shows the lights in action. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5QF04JFuHQ
