GWS F-15 Eagle Inflight
I just bought one of those 5 in 1 cameras today and had it mounted inside my GWS F-15 a few hours later. Here is the video. I know some hate music behind the videos but the sound of the motors so close to the mic was giving me a headache... Enjoy [link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oykAfS28OsY]F-15 Inflight[/link]

[quote]ORIGINAL: Jerc 77 Well, the F-16 had her trim flight today. After taxi tests and a thorough pre-flight, she left the ground. I will say that the first run, hand lapped, turned crank, ASP .91, had a HARD time pulling the all up weight of 12.5 lbs off the ground. She needed only a couple clicks of down elevator to trim out. The gear worked great, but I restricted the valve for the doors too much. They never closed. Anyhow, we brought her down. She has a beautiful nose high attitude on approach. Anyhow, we checked her out and went again. That engine has GOT to GO. Needless to say, I was all over the Jett web page tonight and will have one ordered as soon as I can get a couple questions answered. [/quote] And she flies again. Congrats. Wish I could have been there to see her second 1st flight.

It funny, I put a 10X9 on mine yesterday just for s--ts and giggles and whoa, it really woke up. This think is almost as fast as my Cermark F-16 with the big honkin 91 in the nose. I love this plane more and more everyday!!

Just remember to get help if you need it. This is a hobby where you can lose a lot of money for being "macho" and quit the sport. If someone will not help you, then kick them in the nuts and ask someone else! [:D]

RE: Hangar 9 F-22 Raptor PTS
Hmm, I am guessing you have a .40 on it? If so I would run about a 10x7 (someone chime in if I am wrong) and a 10x8 if you are running a .46. That seemed to work well on mine when it had a .46 in the nose but we are at 2500 not 5K

RE: Hangar 9 F-22 Raptor PTS
Agreed, if you look at earlier posts my buddy bought his as a 2nd plane the same day as I got mine. The first time he went out on his own he made a small pile of F-22 parts out of it. Granted everyone will crash but he said it got slow and fell on a wing and he could not recover in time. Its still a fun sport plane though!

RE: Hangar 9 F-22 Raptor PTS
I guess I got lucky. Mine has been a real pleasure to fly. I have an OS 55AX and now a pipe on the nose with an 11X8 prop & 30% nitro. Mine is a rocket to say the least. I have noticed that the rates were to low at first for my tastes but now it is just right. I have gone through a few props with it but that is just the gear design. What I have learned is stick with this plane she will come around and IMO no this is NOT a trainer! I think the most fun is rolling all the way down the runway, pulling vertical and rolling left or right just like my F-22 brothers do it at Nellis. The plane almost looks scale in that mode. I am going to buy another and fab up a set of retracts for it... Stay tuned!

My official 1st flight(s) report. Raptor #1: Mine with the "WA" on the tail. Powered by an OS 55AX. I needed zero weight to balance it. I had an 12X7 prop and 15% Cool Power. All I can say is wow!!! She took off in about 12 feet and climbed for the stars. On max rate with -30 on the expo she flies like a dream. Stalls straight ahead and lands nice and slow (that is compared to my F-4). The plane will not knife edge but will do everything else that this type of airflame should. On a scale of 0-10 for funness, I would give it a 9.5. Very well built and fun to fly plane. Perfect for being a hot dog and fast if you want it to be (here comes the tuned pipe)!!! Raptor #2. My buddies F-22 that I built for him (behind my Phantom). Powered by an Evolution .46, 15% Cool Power, and the 3 blade prop that came with it. This bird had the flaps down, anti-tip stall thingies and a touch of weight in the nose. I made the 1st flight as well, and as a 1st airplane I would be a little worried as it might be a little fast, that being said it does stall straight ahead as it should and lands very slow. Maybe I am used to fast, point and fly airplanes but with all the trainer stuff added the plane seemed mushy. On a 0-10 scale for learning I would give it a 6. My buddy decided to wait until there was zero wind to fly his as the Fairchild AFB cross wind was in full effect today. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/themongrel/3jets.jpg[/IMG]

RE: Hangar 9 F-22 Raptor PTS
Being a new motor still, I was doing the final breakin (4th tank) "airborne style" with a 12X7. Today I threw an 11X6 on with 30% and let her rip. What a rocket! The only issues I have found is a nasty rudder coupling on landing (we had a good cross wind about 12 kts today). You must be on your toes or she (atleast mine) will snap in a hurry.

RE: Hangar 9 F-22 Raptor PTS
Nothing really to modify. I opted to open up the rear of the cowl vs slicing a slit and working it over the engine, besides that it was straight forward... Also, I moved the engine forward a hair ( see gap at the sponner) to bring the CG forward. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/themongrel/100_2553.jpg[/IMG]

[quote]ORIGINAL: tman52806 Instructions say to bolt tail section on. Fine, but is everyone using expoxy first and then bolting or just bolting? 509th, Exact same setup as I'm going to use. Have everything but the two extra servos for flaps. How'd yours balance out? [/quote] I did the same with the flaps and mine came out just a touch tail heavy (must have been the tail flash decals I added). I also used epoxy which might have added a some of the weight in the back, I am not a fan of the bolt on tail yet.

RE: Hangar 9 F-22 Raptor PTS
Finished mine today. This thing should be cool. I was looking for a weekend sport plane and I think this might fit the bill. I have the Lanier F-4 but with a OS FX .46 and a pipe, it is more like work then fun flying as it is so fast and squirly. The airliner is well (yawn) slow. My F-16 is just to expensive to throw around, so it sits and looks preety. So here I am with the F-22. I put a 55 AX into it. Can't wait until the weather breaks here in Spokane so I get take her out!
