Official Freewing 80mm F-22 Raptor EDF Jet Thread

Antholy has said the JST is for their new AB module. Obviously it can also be used for other things.

This connector is a great idea. In older planes, I'd have to solder the BEC leads into the power wires. This makes it so much easier when an external BEC is preferred or when OPTO ESCs are used.

[Evan D]

Not this plane. The MCBe is just a Y to the ribbon cables. No circuitry involved.

This may be a possibility. Some planes with these "control boxes" will not allow for slow flap deployment if the time is set for more than 1 to 1.5 seconds.

After yesterday went to workshop to switch left elevator servo hooked up spare servo switch on radio then battery noticed flap on half way now it works great go fig still got fault in elevator servo

[Evan D]

I don’t understand. You never mentioned a elevator issue.

I think some punctuation and better sentence structure would be very helpful for those reading to understand what the heck you are experiencing and doing.
EG. You switched left ELE servo .......................... switched to/for what?????
Hooked up spare servo switch on radio .................... what does this mean???? What is a "spare servo switch on radio"????
"then battery" .................. HUH??????????????????????

Good bye

It's really hard to help you when nobody can understand you. See ya!

Blackdog,

I have 2 complaints from Members In Good Standing against you this morning.

Both relate to a deleted post of yours and both calling that post "Vulgar".

If you want to use this forum, then you must be understandable and polite in doing so.

This is a warning, any more complaints and you will be removed from the forums permanently.

Respectfully,
LB

I have made a cheat sheet to setup a new aircraft.. See step 17 about setting up flaps on my NX8 transmitter. Hope this helps.

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 to the blue bridge. The gyro does power on and does work on auto leveling however I can not fine tune the gyro or adjust it due to power up issues with the usb c cable from the gyro. Have any of you gentleman ran into this issue?

[shortround91]

Been once again upgrading my 80m F22, not that it flew bad stock but who doesn’t want more. So more I went, added a JetFan CarbonFiber housing along with a 6-8s typhoon motor. Running duel 4K 4400 up to SMC green label 5200’s. The extra weight didn’t hurt a thing 4min flights still along with 152mph speed runs ( level to slight dive ). I own the 64 a few 70’a the 80 and a 10s 90 F22. Have to say the 80 is actually a sweet spot for me, love my 10s 90 it’s just hard to transport have gotten spoiled but quick disconnect wings. FreeWing Motion keep em coming please. A revamp 80mm F14 and 90 Raptor are way overdue and yes some of us like 10-12s hint hint even if it’s a upgrade

~150mph on 8S? You have my attention! Would you please elaborate on the specifics of the fan, motor, ESC and battery placement?

When I was 8s replaced the ESC with ZTW 130a HiVoltage honestly other than that she is stock EDF ( FW ). I’ve since gone to 10s same ESC with a JetFan HET motor and have GPS’d 175mph on a slight dive. We are a 800feet approved club so no hate comments please, my latest mods are carbon over servo rods aileron and elevators along with adding carbon edges to help stop foam damage around the battery hatch area

[Evan D]

I tried my first 90mm on stock 6S and Jet Fan/ HET 8, 10 and 12S. I felt that 8S was the best all around. My 8S went a paltry 126MPH. Are you saying the 80 on 8S got to 150+? I know stock it feels the slowest of my 70, 80 and 90.

[Alphonso]

That's pretty amazing. It's as fast as a 12S Zeus, a plane that's designed to go fast.

I can't decide between the 80mm F-22 and the 90mm F-16 V2. My club only has a grass runway, and I'm not sure which model to buy. Neither the 70mm F-16 nor the F-22 will take off from the runway. (The 80mm Avanti S V2 and the 80mm A-10 V2 take off without any problems.)

[f4u ausie]

.. depends on your experience ... The 80 f22 good choice... Luv my F16 V2. But 8s off grass req

Did a YouTube search and found this. If you do one, you'll find other vids of grass ops. Decide for yourself.

Myself, I have both 90mm F-22 and F-16 V2 but both are 8s.
