@@Cramqwible motionrc.com has this F22 and lots of other great edfs

@@mikeygsrc thanks

Oh wait - read the description - awesome anyway!

@@Sock_real glad you like it!

@@brianscutt6298 yea I think that would be a good mod. Depends what the grass is like

@@mihauok1 thanks, Glad you like it!

@@bowenflob8036 yea wasn’t my best moment

@@airplanyguy68 nice tip I’ll have to give it a go

Thanks. From the plan it’s said to be 2.2kgs. Should have a good thrust to weight ratio 1.5+

@@mikeygsrc Wow, might be almost as fast as the full size Concorde! Please be sure to post the flight videos!

@@coriscotupi yes I’m sure it will be! Looking forward to seeing how she flies.

@@bowenflob8036 thanks man getting there!

Most of motion rc planes come PNP which stands for plug and play. This means you just need to add a receiver and bind and it’s ready to fly. FYI the $179 f22 is the 4s version 64mm. The one in this video is the bigger version ~$600 6s 90mm.

It’s to help bend the balsa sheeting. Like for a fuselage top deck.

It’s a straight swap that’s fits however after flying a lot on it I’ve found the avanti spring to be a bit too soft. So I’d recommend fitting a stiffer spring. I ended up putting a foam block in the strut to add stiffness

I think you want the Avanti V1 nose gear. The V2 is too short.

Thanks 🙏 so happy with this jet flies great

Yea unfortunately I realised too late how long it was. Good thing is that the plane is fixed and the grass was cut short!

I’d say yes but depends what plane. It’s 20cc but not hugely powerful. Manual says it can do ~3.5kg of static thrust with APC 15”X8” prop.

@@mikeygsrc alright alright thank you so much for the answer, I got myself a 59incher gas powered and i want to convert it to electric researching all i can before wasting money

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

Haha glad you like it!

Alot of fuel comes premixed so don’t need to worry too much about that. A few drops of after run oil is good before storage. Apart from that not too much in terms of treatment.

Haha yep that’s true!

Hello

Yea not cheap but nice to have one in the hanger. Maybe a second hand bargain will be coming your way

Thanks. Glad you like it!

Reckon you could get lower

@@mikejordanoff haha I’ll give it a go!

I’ve got that rcme issue too. In fact I think that’s what inspired me to build it in the end!

@@mikeygsrc 😄😄

Nope not sure where that is. This was filmed in Maidenhead.

@@mikeygsrc its a costal park in kent with a huge rc airfeild and a massive model railway it seriously looks similar they do a big camping rc airshow there in the summer

@@Tomtom-b5e sounds cool. I’ll have to check it out

Glad you liked it!

Yea I would love that. There’s not one bit of gold atm

Take off 62% flap 3% elevator Landing 95% flap 5% elevator

Yea it’s been growing like crazy this summer. That’s 2 weeks after a cut

Haha I didn’t have a ruler with me so the pen was the next best thing. The f22 is awesome!

I actually thought about it 😀

Yes would love an asphalt runway

No bueno. Very fixable, i lost mine ocer some trees, its been over a month and the RC NTSB found more parts yesterday while trying to recover someone elses plane. LOL was an epic crash.

@@ltfadl1 ah man hope you get an f22 up in the air some. Great model! I always find random plane parts in the field when I’m recovering mine 😂

@@mikeygsrc LOL, I already picked me up an 8s F22. Just to nice of a bird not to have in the hanger. And its my favorite jet in real life.

Yes. main mods was to install a strut brace. You can find a file to 3dprint from the motion rc website or you can just make it from wood.

In the end I just opened up the hole on the light so it could fit over the strut. There is a small gap between the strut and the plastic mount OD. I just wedge a small piece of ply wood either side and put some CA. Bit of a bodge but holds up well so far

@@mikeygsrc You've been a big help mate. This is my first 90mm so I want to get it right. I just subbed to the channel 👍

@@JMaxRC thanks, glad to help. One other mod I did was to switch the rear struts as mine were toeing out which made it a bit unstable on taxing. Not sure if they are all like that.Switching them over made it toe in. doesn’t fully close by 5mm but I preferred the stability, the softer avanti gear plus toe out made it wonder on taxi.

@@JMaxRC this short shows how unstable it was with the toe out on the rear. Part of the reason I crashed. Also because I didn’t put enough elevator. th-cam.com/users/shortsteTKp8toYZE?feature=share

I set my timer to 4mins and it’s about right.

@@mikeygsrc I appreciate the help bud. Just assembled mine today and installed the receiver.

Yes huge difference. Now the suspension is actually taking the loads rather than the fuselage. No more broken mounts. I would say that the avanti gear is a bit soft so it does bounce more and requires more take of length + elevator to rotate but once you figure that out it’s easy.

So the Freewing 80mm EDF Avanti S V2 Nose Landing Gear Strut and Tire And your all good to go?

Yes was using full flaps for the landings/touch and go. Full flaps helps to really slow it down.

Do you include the ailerons if you talk about full flaps or really only the flaps? I flew mine today for the maiden and I came in way faster than you.. but in the beginning it‘s the safer way to land at higher speed and then from time to time you get a feeling how slow you can go before it gets critical.

@@JoshuaRütsch congratulations on your maiden. By full flaps I mean landings flap position. Ailerons setup normally. To get the speed down I found it important to get the nose high attitude early on in the landing approach and balance throttle and elevator to keep nose high but control descent.

@@mikeygsrc Thanks, it flew nicely and I‘m looking forward to get more familiar with the jet. Landing in a high-alpha way will be the next thing to try. How much air time do you usually get with one lipo pack? For the maiden I’ve set the timer to 3 min and had only 42% left in both of my 4cell 5000mAh packs.. quite short flight time..

Yes I do! th-cam.com/users/shortsOJh_yMjeS-I?feature=share

That is why I did the landing gear upgrade. I swapped the original for an avanti nose wheel. Did a video on my channel

@@mikeygsrc Thanks bud I'll check that out

@@JMaxRC you could probably use the stock one on grass but definitely needs the rear brace mod. I made mine from wood but you can 3d print one from the motion rc website

@@mikeygsrc I saw that. Very cool of them. I upgraded my F16 Thunderbird to run on grass and made all the difference in the world

Haha that’s a good question! Hopefully by next summer 😬

😂 glad you like it!

I’d like to give it a go, need to buy a 3D printer first! The specific strength of balsa is far better so a balsa plane should fly better in theory but takes much longer to build. Will need to try some day

Thanks William, Yes enjoying it so far!

yep all went wrong
