Hi All

My F22 showed up today opened the box and looked her over I noticed the top of both Wings have the same small holes on the top of the wings surface.

Little bigger then a Pin hole is this normal???

Yes

Maybe to attach a luneburg lens while not flying in combat situations? ;)

I have the V2 8S version and am using two 4S older HV SMC 5300 packs (510g each). Came out a little nose heavy with the packs pushed back with the front of the packs right at the Velcro hold down (see pics). Maiden and subsequent flights were fine with literally no trim needed. These packs are lighter than the MotionRC packs recommended and I just surprised the packs wouldn't be centered under the Velcro for the factory CG. Not an issue, but I was thinking of using larger mAh packs in the future and really don't want to add tail weight. Thoughts.

Thanks

I'm using GNB 5300mAh HV packs in 6+2. Weights are 590g + 210g. Awesome batteries, I have 15 of the 6S and 10 of the 2S. I use these in all my 70mm to 90mm EDFs and most prop planes I have. Super hard to find and GNB recently took them off their website, not sure why.

Much more punch than the SMC HV I had.

Those weights are astounding. Very light for the mah size. They're next on my "to get" list.
FYI .................. of all the SMCs my group of flying guys have purchased, 4 of the larger 6s HV ones have been DoA or very shortly after. These were the previous formulation but nevertheless, we've stopped buying the HV ones from SMC. A couple guys just bought some non-HV ones recently. We'll see how those stack up.

My V2 ARF plus is sitting on my table waiting for a couple other projects to get done before extracting the powertrain from my 8s V1 to go into it.

I'm expecting these to arrive today.

Some highlights of my flights this morning

Nice video it's really pitch sensitive on landing with Flaps deployed.

I noticed that, too. Mine doesn't do that. Must be something in the way it's set up.

Hoping it's just not enough down elevator mix when flaps deployed. CG is stock.
