  • FREEWING F-22

    I just recived an F-22 that I orderd last week. It took me 45ish min. to complete. Now my question: I purchased the 4S version. Has anyone flown a 4S on a 3S lipo? If so, how does she handle compared to the 4S? Im just curious, but want to know what to expect. I expect lower performance, but how much? Im gonna fly it for the first time probably on Saturday, it's now Tuesday night.

    Paul,
    One of our pilots just flew the F-22 4S with a three cell battery and the performance can best be described as average. It has plenty of power to do normal pattern flying, but was lacking the extra "umph" for vertical flight and other moves requiring more thrust. Personally I would recommend flying the plane on a 4S and just using less throttle. Always better to have the extra power to get you out of a jam if you need it. Remember to set your rates and expo for beginner settings while you are getting used to the plane.

        I was reading some reviews on the 4s F-22 Raptor & I use to have problems with the nose wheel binding back every time you landed the plane. So I decided to fix that problem. I cut a small aluminum plate for a base then a ¼” piece of aluminum tubing. Measured the distance & cut the tubing then flattened the ends of it. Drilled the front hole just a tiny size bigger than the wheel shaft & the other end approximately the same. Then put some epoxy on the plate & slid the tubing over the wheel shaft, bent the angle right then drilled the hole in the plate. Placed a screw through that end into the plate & I have not had a bent back front wheel shaft sense then. Though I would just share that idea with you.
