FINALLY! i've been waiting to see a video of this with no talking, no music, and no anything lol. it's also great to see that you did a good amount of flying NOT at wide open throttle. all these EDF guys fly them like RC cars, so its really nice to see an f-22 flying like a real f-22!
One can really appreciate the airframes intrinsic design even more considering we are flying w/o the very sophisticated flight control systems of the real deal. Adding differential ruddering and rudder braking sweetens the model considerably. And no moral conflicts.
Yep! I didn't use rudder braking as I have the servos Y-wired so I can get them stabilized with the gyro, but everything else is highly mixed and customizable. Each wing surface has like 7 different lines of mixing to achieve different things, hahaha! :p
@@Airguardian I hear ya, same here, fun stuff. I used Aura tricks for rudder diff retaining gyro. Less tendancy for rudder to push the nose down in a slow turns. Auras rule for such. Rudder braking retains gyro. Short field game changer. Rudders inward also adds up elevator authority. On the full size its also used to shorten takeoff, but on the model i dont notice much benefit there, she has so much elevator. Ruddbrake allows less elevator deflection in the flare, negating a bit of the flaps blanketing airflow. Offsets some pitch softness in deep alpha full flap flares. Additionally an ele to ele mix when flaps down to decrease expo in the up range only to retain a consistent feel. Rud-brake seems to help stabilize the approaches(?). Since you are a mix junkie, i mention. Enjoy your vids and how you push it!
Thanks buddy! :D I really like from this one that it allows to perform precision moves despite being also good at slow post-stall maneuvering... only missing better high alpha stability to be TOP! ^^
Awesome flight, loved the flat spins, you make it look so relaxing and controlled. I picked up the 6s high performance and I'm just starting out with it.
Great flying man, best demonstration of the f22 from freewi g that ive seen. Ive got the 6s one with the fms pro fan and tailerons, but havent dared try any of the stuff that you pulled off here.
Thank you! Yes, it should take off from grass without problem, as long as you don't set a too nose heavy CG or load the plane with really heavy batts. The LG is very sturdy ;)
I do not see any set up run throughs etc for this in you video listing. This is over due if you have not. You mention lots of lines of mixing... We are curious... Even simple items like you power combination, battery selection, and CG placement. Did I miss it or is it on your other channel?
Way overdue indeed, I find it hard to reserve some time for it, guilty as charged. :) Still you can find quite some information about my jets setup on each video description. I almost always include my current configuration there.
Your flat spins are so quick, are you using rudder when entering them ? I attempted one but I'm still using 100 rates not 150 so it didnt spin very fast. Is 150 rates necessary to spin as fast as you did ?😊
I sometimes use rudder, sometimes don't. But for the most part my spins are stab-driven... and yeah, the larger throws you use, the higher spin rate achievable, although I find it more appealing to spin slow. Spinning fast is easy. Holding a steady, scale-looking flat spin without coming out of it is not! ^^ CG placement is paramount too!
I'm flying with stock servos! ;) That said, I think it's a good practice to replace the stab servos at least by some better quality, higher torque ones.
CG plays a part in it. What's your CG? I'm at about 165mm, which helps the jet fly more nimble and aerobatic (and more twitchy, ofc). Oh, and thanks! :D
Прекрасный пилотаж👍🏼отличное управление и маневрирования , видел что вовремя полёта за моделью F - 22 Raptor следил и снимал дрон но не понятно почему нет в видео кадры съёмки с дрона ? 😎
I have this plane and I would love to know what your expo and rates are. I set mine up by the book and it just feels a little touchy. Would you mind sharing?
@@Airguardian Hi. Why you claims your fav model jet is SU-35? Is it because it's equipped with thrust vectoring? I'm torn between the Raptor and SU-35 for my next jet...
The heavier you fly it, the worse it will perform, obviously. But you are talking just 100-150g more, so the plane will definitely be able to fly with that extra weight. It will be less floaty.
@@Airguardian thank you but I just realized the weight I was looking at for empty weight was for the 6s version so I’m gonna be flying at 4330 grams oops. What’s your flight time with the 3300mah batteries usually?
@@alexdrex12 Ouch, that's a wee bit too much if you ask me. I mostly fly 4200mAh 8S packs. The one 3300mAh I have lasts much less time, usually around 3 min instead of 4, and the pack suffers more. I'd recommend flying on lightweight 4Ah packs. I personally use HRB but would rather recommend SMC. Try and keep the battery weight around 800g IMO.
Full scale F-22 enjoys better lateral stability thanks to better airflow due to LERX induced vortices at high angles of attack. At model scale, the airflow doesn't work so good there.

Thanks! I have a ton of non-music videos, if you check my channels you'll find more ;) (Airguardian/RC4EVER)
You and I both know thrust vectoring on the 22 would be amazing, but it flies almost like it already has it with our setup.
Right!
It's missing the high alpha capability and the kulbits, because everything else is already spot on! :D
Are you using 150 travel on all surfaces too air guardian?
@@EDF_FANatic It's not represented as 150 on my radio, but it's the equivalent full throws, so yes.

@@glenhar1225 It's appreciated!
I actually got an Aura 12 for my Su-47 build, so guess I'll be able to experiment with it there! ;)
I was happy to see when you added the F22 to your hangar, it's fun to watch you explore the limits and capabilities!
Thanks buddy! :D
I really like from this one that it allows to perform precision moves despite being also good at slow post-stall maneuvering... only missing better high alpha stability to be TOP! ^^
Wow! Much braver than I would ever be.
Just need to practice enough! :D
I could only hope to be that smooth on the sticks one day. Great flights 🙌👍
Thank you Anthony! :)

Thank you very much!
Just go for it! But at 4 mistakes high! ;)
WOW! Some great flying there!
Thank you!
Nice flying and great camera work. I subscribed
I love the Raptor series of this scale EDFs. My question, is it hard to see this F-22 when it's not pure blue sky?
I haven't had problems with it myself! But I have a pretty decent eyesight so...
Amazing flying man, I enjoyed it more at half playback speed.
Thanks Tim!
I do slowmo videos quite often, you can find most of them at th-cam.com/users/RC4ever ;)
Perfect demostration! 👍 What I'm interested in: Can this F-22 also take off on grass runways? The nearest asphalt/concrete runway is far away.
Thank you!
Yes, it should take off from grass without problem, as long as you don't set a too nose heavy CG or load the plane with really heavy batts. The LG is very sturdy ;)
It may depend on the grass though, if it's tall and long it will be more difficult.
@@Airguardian Thank you! Clear, i meaned short cutted grass.
Killer video and great flying!! My next jet 100%
Thank you! :D
Cada vez que veo videos tuyos con el F--22 mas me gusta jeje.
Aparato muy serio xD
Es una finura! ❤️

My man I'm curious if rudder input is also needed to pull off those beautiful flat spins
Nope, not needed. Actually useless once a flat spin totally develops, although it can be handy in the initial phases before the wings totally stall ;)
Unbelievable flying!!!!!
Thank you very much! :D

Is it possible to do these manoeuvres with stock servos ? You make the airframe seem so light. When I'm flying mine it feels heavy

I have this plane and I would love to know what your expo and rates are. I set mine up by the book and it just feels a little touchy. Would you mind sharing?
I want to make a video about it, but essentially, full mechanical throws and large expo is what I go for on all my jets.
Talking about 65-80% expo.
How can I get one of those planes ??
Buying them from a distributor. Check RC-Castle, Motion RC, etc.
Which fighter jet do you like most
Real life: Su-30SM / Su-47 / Su-57
Model aircraft: Su-35 / Eurofighter
@@Airguardian yeah I like su 30SM too I like the fact it carries 13 tons weapons payload
@@Airguardian Hi. Why you claims your fav model jet is SU-35? Is it because it's equipped with thrust vectoring? I'm torn between the Raptor and SU-35 for my next jet...
Do you have a video on your radio and set up. I am wanting to do this on a radio master tx16s
Do you have a gold canopy? How did you do that?
I have a Spektrum and would like to find out how to set up elevon on a switch
Sorry, I don't use Spek!
Nice flight demonstration. Tells so much without the chatter and rambling.
Thanks! I try to avoid that in my videos, although I'm afraid TH-cam kinda promotes that type of content to begin with. 🥲
Nice plane
First comment 😃
@@googleplex1589 10 points, hahaha!
Thanks PLEX! :P
@@Airguardian most welcome lol 😆
what cam do u use bro thanks!
Sony AX53 and Lumix GH5 ;)
Did you paint canopy?
Yes!
@@Airguardian what paint did you use?
@@rmvb4flt133 The exact reference is on my F-22 Raptor setup video. AK Interactive Brass, speaking from memory.
Beautiful 🙌
Thank you, sir!
Very nice.
Thank you!
Do you think this plane would fly about the same if I flew it at 4000-4050 grams
The heavier you fly it, the worse it will perform, obviously.
But you are talking just 100-150g more, so the plane will definitely be able to fly with that extra weight.
It will be less floaty.

@@ArthurRC That'd be so cool!
Not sure if this summer, but definitely someday gotta set a trip to do so! :D
@@Airguardian yeah when you want bro 🤩🤙🏻🥰
Real-life F-22 can perform any AOA without the use of thrust vectoring because of the control surfaces.
Full scale F-22 enjoys better lateral stability thanks to better airflow due to LERX induced vortices at high angles of attack. At model scale, the airflow doesn't work so good there.
So sweet
