I still want to do the nav lights, and possibly the slime lights too. And I'm currently painting up my 3DPUP cockpit parts. As soon as Steve uploads the .stl files for the canopy opening mod, I'll do that too.
Oh, and I just put a JF90 with a HET 700-60-1120kv motor in it, and will run 12S 5000 on my next flights. :)Pat

Wow, have to see video of that 12s system flying!! What are the slime lights?
Watch the below video. Skip to about 25 seconds and at 33 seconds you can see the pilot turn them on.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
To all of you guys that are enjoying the F-22, check your nose gear! Maidened this morning really successfully, greased it on for the landing. Took it back to the bench to swap packs to go up again. Was mid-takeoff rollout when the front gear came off and sent the front of my beautiful F-22 into a dirt nap. Guess that's life with a grass field :(. Gonna contact Motion to get them to replace my gear doors and maybe gear assembly if the damage is too bad. All things considered, I'm glad it happened earlier than full rotation speed since the 8s bird is pretty heavy. Just such a shame to see my spotless new bird dinged up at all... Looking forward to getting back in the air though! Have a pic of the scene but HobbySquawk won't let me upload it.

These are 459g each. Add a series adapter and you are 920g or more. That is not light. Look at the 8S 5200 pack at RCJuice.com

Pat, if you saw the 12S in person you would be impressed.

it serves me best to have two separate 4s packs which then would enable me to use those individual packs for other fleet activity purposes to maximize efficiency in tengarang fleet operations

I rewired mine and added thrust vectoring. I have full span ailerons, full span flaps, crow (up ailerons and down flaps), tailerons, elevator to flap mix and rudder air brakes (both rudders in with elevator compensation). Flies absolutely awesome.
