Does It REALLY HAVE ULTRA PERFORMANCE? / 8s Freewing F-22 Raptor Maiden

[@jeffstout6567]

That additional weight sure helps on the smoother landings

[@redbeardreviewsrc]

Yeah, and the vertical is amazing even at 5,000ft..... it's the older set up too. Bet the new one rips!

[@brianbutcher7409]

Great camera work!!! the audio is on point, no wind noise in the background really helps to hear what the model sounds like. Your flying was excellent as well, smooth straight lines really makes the model look scale in the air. Awesome job all!

Wow, that looks and sounds amazing! Would love to fly one of these someday, wish I had a runway that big.

[@redbeardreviewsrc]

Bigger always flies better. And yes, we are quite lucky to have a facility like we do to enjoy our hobby, BIG thanks to the balooners who made it possible! Thanks for watchin and commenting!

​@@redbeardreviewsrcis this bird a floater when you are out of the power? I ask this because of the large mass of wing area...

[@redbeardreviewsrc]

@@mizz9841 Yes, It settles right in on landing and cruises great out of loops with the power cut. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@mizz9841]

@@redbeardreviewsrc no worries great video and I think I may grab this bird. Thanks

Nice flying captain, i have one that was on 8s also flew it alot so i had to go 12s just because an it flys just as well cg is nose heavy some but taking off flying & landings are amazing love the way it handles in flight this has to be one of freewings best edf

I'll bet that's awesome, probably sounds amazing as well! I appreciate you stoppin by and takin the time to comment!

Freewing should send you a backup F-22. I bought one because of this video!

[@redbeardreviewsrc]

Lol! That's awesome! I'm glad you got some useful information from the video! It really might be the G.O.A.T. right now, good choice ! I hope you have a great time with it. Thanks for watchin and commenting...... let me know how you like it!

[@mikehench8209]

Awesome stuff. Keep up the great jet vids!!!!

[@dutchloveRC]

TOO fast for SlowJo!! lol great video as always, condolences on your friend!

[@redbeardreviewsrc]

Thank you brother, much appreciated!

[@tughillrc6327]

Condolences to your loss. We are but a feather in the wind in this life. Nice review on the 8S FW F-22 Raptor. I never trim with gear down but I am sure its not a bad idea. Good Video RBM4E

[@redbeardreviewsrc]

I don't trim with it down. Just took a sec to get it raised. Thanks for watchin and commenting!

[@CR5rc]

Nicely done, sweet jet, nice flying, good all around. Hope you hit 1000 subs soon 😉 Nice to see you have a win with a Freewing product. I still haven't maidened my twin 70mm SU-35, been a busy summer and had a bit of a falling out with my buddy who has the 300ft runway 😊

[@redbeardreviewsrc]

I greatly appreciate the compliments! Sorry to hear you lost access to a runway! I would love to have the SU-35, they seem amazing to fly! I bought their B-2 after seeing a friend's and have had good luck with it as well. Thanks for the well wishes on the sub count and I wish you success on your channel as well!

[@ltfadl1]

Sorry about your loss, my condolences to you and his family. I had a 6s but Freewing strikes, an elevator servo went out in me in flight, took a few nasty rolls till I couldn't fight any more. Total destruction. So I picked up an 8s today 😊. I will be changing the Aileron and elevator servos ASAP. if you see any unusual twitching in your control surfaces swap it out.

[@redbeardreviewsrc]

I appreciate your condolences! & Wise words about the servos my friend! Sorry you lost a plane, glad you got another one! You are going to love the 8s! I wish you great luck with it! Thank you for watchin and commenting!

[@Br3tt1175]

I’m trying to decide on the 6s or the 8s. Do you feel the 8s is worth it?

[@SgtJamesRay]

Very very nice vid!!!!!

[@redbeardreviewsrc]

Thank you my friend! Thanks for your help and ideas!

[@Bruc3the628]

how do i get telemetry volts for my freewing f-22 rc plane . im using a nx-10 with a AR637T Spektrum reciver . how do i get telemetry from the f-22 to my nx-10. can i plug the f-22 ubec to the ar637t into the bind port?

[@redbeardreviewsrc]

I will ask people who know more about them than me and get back to you. Thanks for watchin and commenting!

Rip Bob!!

[@redbeardreviewsrc]

Thanks beast!

[@mikehench8209]

Hey that comes with a little piece of wood that goes into the nose cone. When u put the cone on the other half of the wood goes into the fuse. That will stop that nose from coming off. I had that happen on my first raptor and it went under the belly and threw the plane into the air and rolling over. Not good!! After that I figured out what that wood piece is for! I need 8s in my raptor!!!

[@redbeardreviewsrc]

Have seen that on new Raptors....... I got mine used and its an early version. Not sure mine came with that option. My new Eurofighter has that same wooden piece and I did insert that one. Thanks for watching and sharing the info with the channel!

[@mikehench8209]

Check the bottom of your nose cone and see if you have the slot for the wood. You. Can just make a piece of wood to fit. Great stuff tho. Love the jets

[@redbeardreviewsrc]

@@mikehench8209 Used a magnet set from a wreck someone gave me... workin great, but will check if the slot is there. Thanks for the kind words!

[@bearsist]

Hey brother, what rates are you using? Low ? Mid ? High ? Thanks.

[@redbeardreviewsrc]

I only ever fly on full rates. Having too much to do as a beginner scared me, so I never set up dual rates. I just use really small movements when I fly. I also use 0 expo. That being said......This plane is VERY responsive, especially in the ailerons. I hope this helped. Thanks for watchin!

[@jeffstout6567]

Flight time with the 8s?

[@redbeardreviewsrc]

Right around 3 min. Usually have around 30% left on two 4s 5300. Thanks for watchin and commenting!

[@IanChen-m1o]

Which motor u used?

[@redbeardreviewsrc]

Stock 8s set up that it came with before the upgraded reversable set up. Thanks for watchin and commenting!

[@IanChen-m1o]

@@redbeardreviewsrc so it is the 1390kv that one? What battery are u using?

[@redbeardreviewsrc]

@@IanChen-m1o I purchased mine from a friend who passed, so I'm unsure. It looks like they are using the using the 1350 from the Zeus in the new ones. Mine is the slower Kv. I use 2 4s 5000mah in series.

[@IanChen-m1o]

@@redbeardreviewsrc ok thank you!

[@ltfadl1]

Brother RedBeard, finally got mine up and wow very nice, live the thrust from the 8s, not extremely fast but has the thrust in the boot. I've also flown the Eurofighter V2 with TV finally, and it's another smooth one. I did use the 6s 1900kv from the wrecked F22 makes it much nicer to fly.

[@redbeardreviewsrc]

Nice, glad your maiden went well! I have the 8s Eurofighter as well review coming soon! How is the TV? I guess I'm a purest ,......I'm down with the f-22 or su-35 having vector, but gripen, eurofighter, and mig-29 don't have them in real life so not my style but I bet its fun. Thanks for letting me know about your maiden! Niiiiiiiiice!
