Official Freewing 70mm F-22 Raptor EDF Jet Thread

I don't think "SAFE" and "F-22" belong in the same thread.

And turning off the mix without SAFE?

[brysoncolvin]

I have it set on a 3 way switch on my nx8+

[Evan D]

With SAFE that MAY be okay but remove it if you ever turn SAFE off. The rudders on this and most twin tail airplanes are very effective and will get you in trouble fast.

[brysoncolvin]

I meant when I give aileron it automatically gives a little rudder. I use safe so I need it to help me turn faster and shallower

[Evan D]

Can you explain that? Rudder to aileron, when you give right rudder it does what to ailerons and why? Elevator to aileron? Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean.

Ok thanks, I just kept it simple and only had rudder and elevator to aileron mixing

I did a lot of mixing on my 90, tailerons and full span ailerons are the ones I found I really liked and have them on my 70, 80 and 90. I also have rudder air brakes and crow on the 90 but did not put them on the 70 or 80. I programmed full span flaps and a elevator to flap mix but did not like the effect and have it turned off on the 90.

You asked elevator to flap, moving the pitch stick also moves the flaps. If you really mean elevator compensation for flaps the F-22 doesn't need any.

[brysoncolvin]

what should i have the elevator to flap mixing set at, i cant find it anywhere

[Evan D]

Good you figured it out.

[brysoncolvin]

After going through my TX it was stuck with 100% rates
And zero expo.yikes

[Evan D]

Not sure what you are trying to prove and to who. Sounds like you had it too tail heavy.

[brysoncolvin]

It says beginners should have a professional guidance, I had the president of my club fly it and he almost crashed it twice. He flys a Zues no problem.

[brysoncolvin]

I was going off the manual, it said a great beginner jet.

I love my f-22 but it is a handful, extremely high alpha. NOT A BEGINNER EDF!!! i made that mistake and crashed it and broke the gear doors and cracked the epp above the air intake.

Did anyone claim it's a "beginner edf"? MotionRC calls it "SKILL LEVEL : Intermediate", and I would agree.

The old rings from RCcastle do that.

What sort of LED afterburners are you guys using? I want something that starts out in blue and changes to orange or yellow with throttle.
