Sorry to see that. Looks oddly familiar. My first one met a light pole at speed. Weeee!!My YouTube RC videos:

Today was a beautiful day at our field! I made the maiden, 2 flights! First with the CG exactly where it is recommended by the factory, tail heavy, flaps and elevator down, not good setup at the end the plane stopped in the bush, but in one piece!!
Second flight battery moved forward, much better, but when i wanted to land, flaps in position without elevator, and the plane drops down, so at the end i landed without flaps.I will make some tests in the future to see what it the best choice. Over all nice plane and easy to fly!

So for the guys who fly this plane a long time, as i know when you put flaps on the plane normally the plane climbs or this is what i saw on my Funcub. Here when i wanted to land and i put the flaps in landing position the plane fell like a rock!! Can explain me somebody why this behavior?

However, the pitch change from deployment is partially dependent on airspeed.
If you drop full flaps at a sane airspeed, the plane will not have the ballooning initially and will pitch down with full flaps. Some up elevator trim can negate this tendency if you like.

Exactly right!
I was doing some slow flight with the flaps down, over time slowly increasing the throttle and noticed the plane climbing. My initial reaction was I needed some down trim before I realized I forgot to put up the flaps!

I actually mix elevator to give it a nose up attitude for my landings. Then I'm focused on throttle for descent with a touch of flair, thus reducing my workload for landing and I've found no bad characteristics with the plane coming in like this on the last two turns. As others have mentioned, stick below half and gear down it won't balloon on you.

Hey gents, I could use your help. I recently sold my F-22 to a really great guy, a retired serviceman...I never had any issues with my F-22 other than the nose gear needing to be strengthened. However, unfortunately he's been dealing with some problems I never encountered so I was hoping someone on this thread could offer some insight. Here's his own words, thank you in advance for any help you can offer...
Hi Todd,
So I was having issues with the MCB - e box on the F22 that I bought from you. When I got everything plugged into my receiver which is a Spektrum AR8000, aileron, elevator, and rudder worked. The landing gear did not. So after going back and checking some wiring and wiggling some stuff around the mains would come down and go up, but the front landing gear would not engage at all. So I bypass the blue box and plugged the front gear straight into the the rx and still nothing.
I then got a separate receiver bound it to another radio and plugged the front gear into the receiver to see if the servo would engage. Hit the switch and the front gear came down and went back up just fine. So I figured it was the blue box. So I ordered a new one, got it plugged everything in and everything works except the front landing gear. Even the landing light does not come on when plugged into the box. Has anybody else you know experience this issue and did they have a solution?
Thank you for your time,
Chad
