Freewing F-22 Raptor 90mm EDF Jet - Flight Review - Motion RC 

Welcome back!

So common to read ppl checking with the wife. Respect her, love her but wear those pants dude. Buy what you want when you want (that goes for her too) as long as the bills are paid no man should have to check with a woman.

@@MajDuty it's just out of respect most time really.

@@MajDuty notice how he said TOLD the wife lol!

@Eric Rogers Make sure you read the thread over at Hobby Squawk on the F-22, specifically about the proper neutral setting of the elevators. The picture in the book isn't as clear as it could be, and it has caused confusion for folks, and led to my crashing mine on take off. Had I read the thread first, I would have been fine. Replaced the vertical stabilizers/rudders, and the plane flew great, until I flew it too far away, lost orientation and dumb-thumbed it into the ground. I'm saving my pennies for a new airframe. I really like this plane!

How much does this thing cost? I love the F22

I second this request

I third😁

I fourth

I 750ml I mean 5th

Yf-23 would be good in my 90 Fleet

Agreed! I feel a lot of the flight demonstrations that have been put forward by MRC have been fairly one dimensional and boring, but it has certainly improved the last couple of years. Both Stuart in Europe, Patrick here, and Wesley (Merry Boozers) have taken it to a far more interesting level, with good flying skills and not just the "turn and burn" routine.

Thanks Stephen. She a great flyer with a wide flight envelope. Hard to not have a smile while flying this one.

Same here love my 64mm alp other f22s were not powerful only feeewing does it

WANT ONE! 😍👍🏼👍🏼

Maverick which gyro did you use ?

@@jamessala10 I use a dx9 with an Ar636 reciever running my gains around 35 perecent

Correction. This landing gear set was upgraded to compensate for initial landing strut impact, also to help in closing the main gear doors flush -- ex: 2:34. They can take a good deal of gentle abuse.

Definitely. And it doesn't have to take long. Get your practice in and you'll be flying bigger stuff in no time. I still enjoy the XK520. So much fun to fly in the yard

Hey Nemone! You can take a shower with this one too! ;)

@@MotionRC lol I just might then u can post it on your review post

Like this? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vPbQq3jJrak.html

no problem. Will be the standard for flight reviews going forward

Merrick Manor no gyro used in these flights. We used the new antennaless 6ch spektrum rx.

I don't know why alot of ppl complaining about this but the way James and the pilot brought this to us makes me wanna get one

Proper storage voltage for a LiPo is approximately 3.85v per cell. We just a bit under that.

Wait, is it the 45-200 f/4.0-5.6?

nailed it. that's amazing by the way

I plan on getting the F14 and put in a self engineered camera and telemetry system which I can view on a little screen while flying. The F14 is large enough and with enough power (2 * 80mm EDF) to get the extra weight of the ground

A fantastic flyer

This was filmed by Alex and James, we don't have a Bobby working for us

I meant it started service in 2005

I just remembered when I was in ROTC and these were the new thing everyone was talking about, along with the (then) new Super Hornets. Which is probably why those are my favorites.

Actually it was in 92 i think it first flew or so i think

its maiden flight was 1997, then entered service in 2005.

If you have experience with RC flying in general, have flown prop planes for a while, and want to get into jets, this is certainly a good option. Setup is important though (as with any RC model), so make sure to get CG, throws and expo right.

Same thing. Dual rates just means you have a set of high and low rate programmed into your transmitter. Sometimes a model doesn't require full throws on some control surfaces or is better during different situations. For example I prefer to take off in full high rate, but once cruising I switch to a lower setting for tamer movements.

That's the BEC. In case your motor ever cut out, this provides power to your receivers so you have a chance to dead stick your aircraft with control surfaces still functioning

Little late, but they set the timer in the transmitter to only count down when the throttle is above a certain percentage, say 10 percent, so when the throttle is “idle” (at 0) the timer does not count down. So 3 minutes on the transmitter might equate to 4 minutes in real time

Or would the E-flite F-16 be a better choice. Trying to reduce the purchase of planes, because if I get used to the F-16 real fast, I'm going to want to buy The F-22....

The F-22 is one of the most stable, forgiving Jets on the market. Hard to guage your readiness, but this plane can work for all ranges of pilots

Hell yea

Sure. They really are different beasts. This F-22 is larger, has flaps, has a larger wing loading which makes it ideal for beginners as well as seasoned pilots. The 6s version is fast, but the 8s version takes it to another level. The F-35 is also super quick, but since it is smaller and no flaps, it can be more of a handful for less experienced pilots. They really aren't a great comparison to one another. You should be able to get more flight time on this f-22 as it can fly fast and slow much easier

we've had this debate at the field just yesterday. I believe if you have flown an edf and are comfortable landing, you should have no problem with this one. It is very forgiving.

Ronald Mills ,howlong due gas motors usually run for?

ClaytonMasse it depends on different things obviously but I could keep my ugly stick up in the air for 15 minutes or so. I never actually ran it out of gas that I can remember. The warbird a P-51 was a lot less but that was for racing so to save weight it had a very small tank and was always going full open. Between launching, waiting for the race to start, dispersing, and landing anywhere between 5-10 minutes

@@tylermills79 thanks for the info. I am looking to get into RC planes as I have always had a fascination with them. Total newbie here. Is there a forum that newcomes can get info from?

Hanger rash. What happens when you try to move them sometimes. Caught a door frame

Motion RC happens to me all the time lol

If it works for you, roll with it. I prefer rates like Patrick here as I love different throws and having options.

@@MotionRC Yeah as I said to each their own... Its just that you guys say that it could be a good introduction to the 90mm jets for an EDF newbie. Keeping it simple is a much better approach for them. But its a matter of preference... there is no right or wrong way...

@@gooniac33 Big +1 on avoiding all switch throws that are not strictly necessary. I pretty much never use dual rates actively anymore myself, only as a tool for finding sensible rates during maidens/early flights. After getting rates tuned down (which essentially means as little throws as I can get away with while still having the authority I want in the low speed part of the envelope), then adding whatever minimum of expo required to make those rates comfortable in the center (keep in mind, less total throw = less expo needed = a good thing), dual rates are really rarely required on any model, especially not jets.

The UBEC can connect to any open channel, just provides power to the RX

Ok thanks

Sorry fumbled my words. This is raw flying. Didn't want to audio dub it or give any impression you aren't seeing the real thing. As for storage charge, it's close enough. I prefer 15% for that extra pass but too each his own.

No apologies needed, as I said I love the format presentation. There is a difference between recommended discharge voltage and recommended storage voltage for lipo batteries as I know you are aware. Recommended maximum discharge voltage is around 3.5 volts per cell and recommended storage voltage is around 3.85 volts per cell. These value matter as the quality of batteries varies between brands.

U dont need it when u have full stabs u can pull off alot of scale stuff

This is the one most use: thercgeek.com/the-centerburner/

85$ for after burner is a little pricey to be honest that’s another batt

EDF it has a brushless electric motor in it 😉

This is the F-22 though...?

@@MotionRC yes it was just a comparison, can you help me with a video on F16 cg with admiral 5100 Carbon? They are to heavy i cannot find good cg.. help me please

@@MotionRC please help me with the f16 CG with admiral 5100 carbon. they are very heavy and battery has to goes really alot back..with respect to the admiral 5000. thanks

@@carmelocatalano307 the best bet is to jump on the HobbySquawk forum. You can get get much easier help in the F-16 thread there

Hu don’t you make a video on the f16 to help on CG for f16? F16 is good plane but very critical..
