6s raptor ordered!! Cant wait. I decided I did not need the extra power because I'm not flying those chained together scale aerobatics.

You won't be disappointed!

T-CAT crxmanpat mshagg thankyou for your suggestions now i have 3 candidates to choose f-86, L-39, T-33... F-86 and T-33 are both former aircraft of our philippine airforce in service a few decades ago, L-39 looks cool too.. Now i need to makeup my mind which one to pick before stepping up to the F-22

just received my new F-22 and setting it up , woo hoo !! , any recommendations on :

1_nose wheel steering ,,,, any thoughts to get solid take off roll ?

2_i saw post on beefing up the nose wheel area of frame , has this been an issue for many flyers ?

thanks!!

[C17loadmaster]

Everything hooked up according to the book is fine in regards to nose wheel steering. You can run it on it’s own channel if you want, but that’s just improving on something that is already a non-issue.

If you crash, you’ll probably end up with damage to the nose gear. I have a 3D printed brace that supports any back pressure... but overall the plane is solid. There are no “pre-fixing” that needs to be done like on some of the other models.

TKS for Heads up , so just setup rudder throws per manual and Steering works ok , much better than some other jets !!

take care

[C17loadmaster]

Yeah, that’s the best place to start. I have my rate selection on a 3 selection/position switch. High rates for my rudder is actually set up to use all travel that is physically possible before any binding occurs. I just have a lot expo programmed with it. I use it for tight turning during slow taxiing.

I realized no stand is a pain ,,,

1_time to get a typical stand to work on F-22 -- seen any good ones to work at the shop and at the flying field ?

2_also i think i saw a partial pic on hobbysquawk of a floor standing stand that you did not need a table to set stand on while in shop , but only caught corner of picture so not sure, was i seeing things or is a floor shop stand avail to work on rc planes ?

thanks !!

Crewzinn.

Stock works on this plane. Maybe add a steering gyro.

[rcfun]

"Crewzinn" sorry to see ,,, looks like covid has them out of stock and probably shut down ...
