After i tried the bifurcated pipe and i saw that wasn't the best solution(lack of power and more fuel) i decided to buy another plane and install an oval pipe. This time i didn't had to cut the plane to install the new pipe. I also painted in black to see better the difference between the two faces. Also i replace the receiver with a 12 ch to have the rudders on separate chanel and to have the possibility to make some mix, in order to help me to take off easier from our field. We will see.

Well I learned today that the ribbon cables are not wired like I thought. I made the faulty assumption that the red and black wire of the 8 was + and -

For those wanting a quick reference, i finally spent a couple hours sciencing the **** outta the pinout of the bluebox and drawing it up😅

Here are the rudder servo trays I created along with the hardware placed to withstand the HV servos. I love the way they look! This turned out great and I am happy with the end result! :)

Some more work in the scale lighting. The lights on the top of the wing, and the bottom. I went with 5mm unilights :) 🔴🟢⚪️

Hello everyone,

Here is some of the build process of the Freewing F-22 Raptor (Super Scale) I am currently building. I have completely gutted the entire plane of all servos, wires, and wing connectors. Everything will be custom and high quality, as this is my personal preference. Ive flown this same model but different airframe many times over. This is my favorite jet of all time. I have had the jet for 4 months now and have slowly been working on it. I have some more to post on here as well. She will be powered on 12s with 17lbs of thrust for no reason :)

Dubrovnik actually looks like a cool city to visit.

Lol why would it auto correct that from Dubro? That is funny though.

Ha! When you were young 40-50 years ago. I'm beginning to understand that perspective. It's hard to swallow nowadays that I think of 30 year olds as being really young.

Yeah, I've heard that whole coastline of Croatia is pretty spectacular. I have a friend whose sailed up and down the coast there a few times and keeps talking about going back. It certainly looks worthy of the effort.

When I was young it was on my bucket list but that was 40-50 years ago.

Dubrovnik tiers?

[Gravythe clown]

Got my maiden done today. The new power system is much better, tailerons is the way to go, and the Dubrovnik tiers are great.
the biggest thing though was the Nav and slime lights both visible while flying by the eye in partly cloudy sky.

I got 3 flights in with a HRB 6s 6000. Good flight times, I going to see if there any improvement next time using a 5000.

Gravythe clown Outstanding light mod. Bravo Zulu, Sir. Best, LB

thank you sir. After doing the nav light mod, I now even understand less why they are not included in the kit.

that was one of the this I disliked about my first 22, no nav lights in a big 90.

Had one of you put a camera to see if our F22 have the same issue with flutter of the rudders like the real one ? If yes what small camera can i use for that?

My daughter made the AMRAM base symmetrical if you want to display it outside the launch rail

Flying my F22 i just wondered if i could setup my radio to pass from the take off to cruise mod and from the cruise to landing an in the same time to go up/down the landing gear. Someone use this facility? I just found how to switch using only button between the three flight phases.

[Gravythe clown]

Just need to finish up the nav lights and change out the main tires when they get here. I love how the slimes look powered up.
