Very nice glad to see I’m not the only one who’s done wing and landing gear lights. I also did Navigation with the KMRC blue burner, there a sweet flying plane

Thanks, I'd like to get that Blue burner for my jets one day. Hope you post a video.

I just finished up the last touches on one of my 70’s videos in coming if this weather ever decides to straighten up. She was a crashed plane repairs turned out really nice I think

the screws that came with the f-22 70mm are too short for the elevators. would anyone know the correct size? bag says 3x6mm but they are too short to grab the bar

[Evan D]

Mine were okay. Enough to catch the groove.

This jet just gets better and better for me.

Got mine Apr 27th... Still haven't flown it but have been working... Added the Stemwings Formation Lights, Light added to the Nose Gear, Dual Afterburner light, painted the glass with a mixture of 2 colors so it has an irridescent look to it and hit it with a frosted clear after, Added the Freewing EG-01 Gyro and programmed with Bluebridge, just need to add the nav lights on the wingtips and i think I'm good... Biggest reasons for not flying yet...
1st Reason... I have a Radiolink T12D and a R12F Receiver and the Receiver to me seems like garbage... Signal not strong enough and while testing it during a long distance taxiing run the signal cut out and i had no control of the throttle for a few seconds... Thinking about getting the R16F Receiver cause it has dual antennas a farther range listed but also not sure if i should just scrap the Radiolink TX and RX and just save a few bucks for a Spektrum TX/RX or something else off FB Marketplace and play it safe...
2nd Reason... The only 6S batteries I have are all HRB 3300 60C batteries and from what i see is recommended and what everyone here is using, i need at least a 4000-6000 battery...
Any advice or recommendations would be helpful, it's only my 2nd EDF the 1st being the Freewing 64mm F-22... I love the way this plane looks and everything about it... Last thing i want is to rush the maiden with the wrong battery or TX/RX and end up destroying it...

I've been using HRB 3300 batteries no problem and I have the dual afterburner. Try setting the timer for 2.5 minutes and see how it goes. I think my timer is actually set at set for 3.5 minutes but I fly less aggressively with the 3300's and land early.

Successful maiden flight... A little bumpy on takeoff but successful... This plane is fast!!! Was so nervous at first my hands were shaking but after a min or 2 it was all good... Now to start with some more advanced stuff... Question tho... What % do you keep the throttle at for most of the flight? I noticed i was flying it almost 100%

[TrappedinZona]

Tried posting this as a 2nd video to the above post but wouldn't work for some reason... Just a 2nd video of the maiden flight...

3rd video of maiden flight... My wife was recording and having a hard time keeping up...

I’m having trouble with my 70mm Freewing F22. I cannot get the blue bridge lite device to power up from the Freewing 6 axis gyro. I can plug the blue bridge up from a different power source and it will turn on and I can connect my phone through the Freewing app to the blue bridge lite that way. The gyro does power on and does work on auto leveling however I cannot fine tune the gyro or adjust it due to power up issues with the blue bridge lite from the gyro. Have any of you gentleman ran into this issue?

Can someone explain how to setup a taileron mix with a Spektrum radio and AR8360T.
Thanks!

[kallend]

Set the tail type to "Taileron" or "Taileron B" as needed to get the movements correct. The left elevator defaults to channel 9, so you will also need to go into Channel Assign to set it to (most likely) Ch8 on your AR8360T.
