Freewing 90mm F-22 Raptor - Official Thread

Ah thanks. I thought someone was selling them. I’ll have to check at my flying club and see if someone has a 3D printer.

wildvortex sells them (and for lots of other models too):

The file is under the support tab of the f22 also on my post, but you have to have a 3d printer

Looks good where can I get one so I don’t have the same problem also.

[rifleman_btx]

Brace installed.

[Av8er278]

I’ve had enough problems already hope I don’t have that problem also. Our runway is hard though. Still waiting to fly mine had a surgery so it’s keeping me from the field hopefully next weekend. Also waiting for afterburner hopefully it will come soon while I’m still down to install it.

[rifleman_btx]

Make it so my friend.

[Aros]

Thanks bud, with your permission I will add it to the support tab for the product pages...

[rifleman_btx]

I found it, heres the file for the brace I have.

I lost count how many times I had to modify/strengthen my nose gear. It's the only pet peeve I ever had with this model...Otherwise it's a jewel.

My nose gear has been solid, but I did install a 3D printed brace early on.

My only gripe with the model is the main gear connecting pins. Either on grass or any bumps in the runway, they break very easily and my wings have paid the price.

Understand why we have the suspension setup that is there now, but would trade it for a decent set of trailing links.

Ray, I solved the problem in post 3405 above (and that was after already having fixed it once before using Hysol, and it still broke loose).

Sounds like I am not the only one... I will have to figure out what will work for me... simple is always best for me!

[rifleman_btx]

I did one for my friends avanti and its been solid for his plane.

[rifleman_btx]

Yeah I think I have it on the computer at the house, ill look when I get home. I need to add it to mine since I fly off grass. Just haven't gotten to it yet

[Aros]

I would be happy to add the .STL file to the Support tab on the F-22 product pages? Just let me know (I don't recall who has the file)?

[crxmanpat]

Yes, it works a treat on the F-14, and I'm sure it will on the Raptor too. Haven't flown it again since adding.

[rifleman_btx]

Gotta print the brace

My dang nose gear mount came loose AGAIN!!! Noticed that the plane was tipping for no real reason but then saw the nose gear flopping around... 🤣 Will get it secured and then get back to flying! Its such a fun plane to fly!!

[Av8er278]

Because the spring is coming i had some checks on my F22. I saw that when the gear is up and move the stick for the rudder the wheel inside is moving a little? Could be that a problem? Yours are the same?

No my wheel doesn’t move it work like it’s supposed to. My only problem is with the door closing on the gear.
