Official Freewing 90mm F-22 Raptor V2 Discussion Thread

I have 3D printed TVs on both my 6 and 8S and added wing tip lights to my 8S so my weight wouldn’t be applicable.

I wonder how the weight of the V2 differs.

I was visiting Tim at Extreme Flt last week he gave me some new Battery straps to try with rubber built into the strap for better grip. I cut the slots in the F22 battery tray and fitted them. This made for a much more secure placement.
Looks like my batteries are 1100 grams with the connectors. Still struggling with reverse thrust on the Radiomaster TX16s I can get it to work. Throttle hold can not override the reverse function. If anyone has an idea chime in.

According to RC Castles specs, the V1 6s and 8s PNP both weight the same @2950g. VS 3200g for 8s V2.
V2 6s is 100g less @3100g vs 8s @3200g.

Has anyone used a Nexus-XR with Inav on this and can give some pointers as to the PIDs?

[Evan D]

No, why would you?

The day they made this plane available, I sold my V1 and immediately ordered this V2. Here's a link to a short video of one of my landings during its maiden flight day. So far, I'm very happy with this jet. It is beautiful and flies great. The maiden flight day video is on my YouTube channel.

No, why would you?

Because the Nexus-XR has the ELRS receiver integrated with the FC, the ICM-42688-P is an excellent sensor, you can tune the PIFF gains to work across multiple speed ranges and I can use all the other goodies like GPS guided RTH and I can use the mavlink support to integrate this with other stuff. But it's all good, I'll just start with low values and use autotune at medium speed, then dial in the speed-based gain reduction at high speeds.

[Evan D]

Yeah, I don't care about any of that. Have fun.

[Dividebysandwich]

Next flights are gonna be interesting!

[Evan D]

Good luck.

Great first landing! Congrats.

love the Inav stuff, perhaps a separate thread so we can follow your progress?
