F-22 Raptor ✈️ Thrilling Flights, Fast and Slow, Exciting Maneuvers!

- Flying at RACBSA is always really refreshing for me, particularly for flying EDFs, thanks to its beautiful landscape, wide flight box and paved runway.
This airfield lends itself much more to low altitude flybys, knife edges and other similar maneuvers. Not having the hill with the forest from my other club right in front gives me quite some freedom to experiment with different flight routines! ^^
Earlier that day it was a bit windy so I flew a bit faster than usual to accommodate but these flights were carried out more towards sunset day and the air was calmer which allowed me to lower my safety altitude and get some really cool shots with the mountainous background :)
Shameless plug: if you want to contribute to my work, please consider having a look at some of my merch! ;)

CG: +160mm from the leading edge of the wing at the root
Material: EPO
Motor: Stock 8S 4075-1390Kv Inrunner
ESC: Stock Freewing (Hobbywing) 150A, HV
EDF: Stock Freewing 90mm 12-Blade
Servos: (All stock)
- 2x 9g Digital hybrid gear
- 2x 17g Digital metal gear
- 6x 23g Digital metal gear
Landing Gear: Electronic retractable with all metal shock absorbing struts
Receiver: FrSky X8R, using 12 channels so far (user choice)
Gyro: Hobby Eagle A3S3 (added as a mod)
Separate UBEC: TGY 8-15A (added as a mod)
Receiver battery: Rhino 2S 500 and 610mAh (added as a mod)
Main battery packs: (All weighing around 800g combined)
- HRB 2x 4S 4200mAh 50C
- Turnigy Nanotech 2x 4S 3300mAh 70C
Mind that although most of the jet is stock, I performed several modifications. Removed the infamous Blue Box and wing ribbon wires, passed individual leads to wing servos, mixed them all separately, removed pilot figure and nose gear light, installed a HE A3S3 gyro (which required physical servo reversing one stabilator servo, inverting motor and pot wires), added a green LED to make a fake HUD reflection effect, airbrushed the canopy to make it look more golden, like the full-scale one. Need to pick the sun at the right angle to show up though!
More details on my setup coming (soon?)!

This is among the best F22 rc jet video... In term of flying skills, camera works and location.. We can clearly see the detail of the plane during flying.
Less talking.. Viewers can listen to the edf sound and can estimate the throttle management.. Nice nice nice..
I am glad that you appreciate it! 🙏
Actually, TH-cam pushes creators to do more talking in their videos, but I kinda like them better this way. It's not for everyone, I know, but I prefer there not to be distractions from the actual flight ^^
I'm speechless could watch you fly all day
😀😀😀
Love to hear that, I appreciate it! 🙏❤️
very good pilot
Thank you very much!
Excellent flying mate
Thank you! :)
Brilliant - as always. Many thanks.
Thanks Tommy! 🥰
awesome!!!!
Thank you!
Is this the 80mm?
Nope. 90mm
Fiiiirst 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Le frenchie c'est fast! 😁

@@ArthurRC Merci beaucoup mon ami! 🥰
@@RC4ever c’est très important de toujours commenter (it’s very important to always comment the videos) 🥰👍🏻
@@ArthurRC Tu as complètement raison!
J'essaie de le faire mais ces dernières semaines ont été folles... à peine eu le temps d'assister à ma propre chaîne. :'(
Best RC Flight ever! Excellent filmwork as well.
Whoa, those are big words... thank you very much!! :DDD 🤩🥰🥰🥰
Bro! your cameraman is the best! 🙌
Will let him know, thanks!
You make that jet look fantastic! Great flying!!!
Thank you very much!!
Brother,, I love your flying style, keep it low and close great footage!!!! Awesome pilot skills,,, mad respect.
@@brianbutcher7409 Thank you so very much! :')
I'll keep doing my best!
Great stick work and did you ever post your flight control setup for the F-22? I have my Freewing F-22 on separates (I just pulled the signal wire from the blue box for each) and I've done Elevons. However, I'm not really happy with aileron coupling. It looks like you only have crow with the elevons at high deflection? Great videos and thank you!
Thanks for the compliments! I made an entire video explaining my programming for the F-22... check my channel, you'll find it! ;)
That was some great flying!!!
How is your radio/controls set up?
Thanks! I made an entire video about that!

I like your flying style, I need to work on my flights to be more like this. I do to many circles with high speed pases LOL
Thanks!
I suggest watching full scale airshows, pick a couple of maneuvers you really dig and start practicing them on your flights. Then, as you get comfortable with these, you can try and add some more! :D
Is that your father doing duch a grat job filming?
Yes he is!
But mind that I spend many hours further stabilizing the videos in post with video-editing software, so it's really a team effort! ^^
As good as dad is, the 'raw' videos never look that polished! ;)
I am new to RC planes (1 yr) with my AeroScout 2.1🤣. What I like about your take off is, wheels up immediately & many other skills. That is how the full scalers do it. Great video.
Thank you!
I take quite some effort in observing full scale jet demos and try to replicate their moves with the scale models :')
great enjoyable work man!
Thank you very much! :D
what is better the 6S or 8S version ?
@@domscorpi9775 I haven't flown the 6S. But both have their place. 6S can be floatier. 8S will allow a wider speed envelope and flying slightly longer.
You have definitely mastered the F22, awesome flying man!!!!!
Thank you very much!! 🥰🥰🥰
Your're an animal, that was some Awesome flying brother. Great video great job.
Thanks! 😁😁😁
Excellent flying & maneuvering skills.
Thank you! :D
Would love to see what youd do with the fms su27 one day!
I am not planing to get one ATM though... but who knows? we'll see ;)
@@RC4ever you NEED one !!
@@EDF_FANatic I'm running out of space to store them at home though... :p
Cool and awesome skills! Did you fly the 90mm F-4 Phantom already? I fly mine scale but would like to see what the airframe really is capable of.
Thank you!
No, I haven't flown it and didn't intend to buy one... if only some brand sponsored me, lol. 😆
Now THATS flying! No abnoxious talking, cheesy music, 2 stroke engines background noise. Great tight close in video work. Good job.
Thank you very much, it is appreciated! ♡
mad skills buddy!
Thank you! :D
ALSOME Fling 👍👍👍
Thank you so much!
I try hard to make visually cool and appealing flights :D
Fantastic solo airshow
Thank you! 😁 ❤️
Wow amazing
Thanks! ♡♡♡
Great flying dude as always. The stabilators seem so move differentially (independent throws at a given time). That's because you have a gyro stabilizing via tailerons right? Sry if this is dumb question I have limited experience with bigger models and just started building my ARF Version of this.
Hey, thanks!
I have the tailerons set up for pitch and roll and besides they are gyro stabilized but despite the gyro being extremely useful, you can barely notice its corrections in the air. The flickering moves that you see in there are actually my own pilot inputs (which then the gyro smooths out). I find these jets often work better on 'impulse commands' rather than sustained stick deflections when operating at high angles of attack. Helps prevent departure from controlled flight. :)
AKA: my fingers look like I have parkinson when I fly, lol.
@@RC4ever Ok thx, I am setting up mine currently with the Hobbyeagle a3 gyro but I cannot figure out how to tell the gyro I am using tailerons. I can setup taileron input on my transmitter but the gyro only corrects roll via ailierons and pitch via elevators. Is there a way to make the gyro correct roll on ailerons + tailerons and pitch on tailerons?
Thust reverse work?
Nope. Don't have that on my F-22
Superbe. Démonstration.
Merci beaucoup!! ❤️
Do you prefer this one or Jas 39 gripen?and why?
This one. It is much more aerobatic (although the TV add on makes the Gripen compete), much more resistant to turbulent air and wing rocking, the jet is much more robust overal, easier to work with and achieve reasonable CGs, barely requires maintenance, has more power and acceleration while allowing for longer flight times, much more battery compartment space to work with, etc.
@@RC4ever I wish I would ask you this question earlier!!!
I bought gripen a month ago and I just ordered TV(still on the way)
Also I have eflite f16 80mm,can you advise what would be my next jet?
I mean is,if you had both jet what would be your third jet ?
according experience you have with different jet
@@shahram677 I would probably recommend the F-22. Because it is much different and more capable in many regards 😉
Are you using any specific mixing? Is your CG per the book? What Lipo are you using? Are you using a Gyro?
Excellent flights. Bravo from Greece
Thank you very much! 🥰🥰🥰
