Ive been flying on and off for 20 years but never had use of a runway until now so im looking at getting a military EDF jet .Im thinking about the 90mm freewing F-22 or maybe the 90mm freewing F-15 . Both seem to have a good mix of slow and high speed capabilities and are the size that has a bit more presence in the air for my old eyes to focus on.Any thoughts??

For me it's these tiny offensive looking elevators. Motion really dropped the ball on this one. F-16s need to have full flying stabs! Will it fly better? No. Does it matter in the air? No. But it just doesn't look right on an F-16 of not having full flying stabs.

Don’t expect much more flight time from any EDF jet unless you want to fly around SLOWLY. Who wants to fly an EDF jet like that?
By the way, leaving more in the tank post flight will make your LiPos last much longer. Shoot for 3.7V to 3.8V post flight minimum per cell voltage.
