Showing How I Fly RC Planes: F-22 RAPTOR ✈️ Transmitter Split Screen!
38This is how I fly the Freewing F-22 Raptor 90mm RC plane!
You can watch my hands on the transmitter as I pilot this EDF jet and examine the movement sequences I do with my fingers.
I will soon post a slow motion version, but in the meantime, you can use YouTube's video speed function if you want to examine something closely and don't want to wait! ;)
It's interesting to see how most of the flight is carried out with absolutely minimal stick deflections, barely noticeable (despite using a gyro and my huge expo settings, a balanced jet with full throws will still behave pretty lively!)... and yet when I fly high alpha, my fingers are all over the place to keep the jet from departing controlled flight. And then, by comparison, inverted high alpha is so stable I barely have to make any correction at all. Fun stuff! Hehehe... :D
And by the way, the second flight shown on the video was the 100th sortie with this airframe! ;D
Shameless plug: if you want to contribute to my work, please consider having a look at some of my merch! ;)

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!
