Freewing F-22 90mm Performance Flights - Inverted Alpha, High Alpha, Power Loops, Cobra Maneuvers

[@claytonkuppler5356]

Recently discovered your channel. Great content and I really appreciate the “how to” and radio set up information! Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge with us!

[@TwoBrosRC]

Hey man! Super glad to have you onboard. I can't build a channel without people who enjoy watching the content. Thanks for being here!

[@itzjoeylo4501]

You are an amazing RC Pilot, I need to figure out dual rates and EXPO. Just got back into the hobby after 10 years. Thanks for the great 👍 content

[@derekterry4157]

Really cool to see you extract every gram of performance out of that jet. I also really enjoy your open commentary on the flight.

[@TwoBrosRC]

I feel like I ramble a lot, but I'm glad you guys enjoy listening to it! Thanks Derek!

[@thorvelasco1467]

The 64mm V2 is my 4th edf. First 3 were 70mm F16s I had no business to fly. The F22 is so forgiving.Though mine is a bank and yank, I've learned so much about how to fly edfs. With only 5 Sundays under my belt, I feel like such a pilot.

[@wilsonrawlin8547]

First time viewer. Incredible plane and controls! Awesome flying as well! Thank you for this vid. The F-22 is off the charts.

[@TwoBrosRC]

Thanks Wilson! Appreciate you checking out my channel. You should see the last video I just dropped yesterday which really pushes the inverted alpha to a new level.

[@wilsonrawlin8547]

@@TwoBrosRC Thanks! Playing catch up now. Blown away by your tech and your flying skills. Awesome channel!

[@TwoBrosRC]

@@wilsonrawlin8547 Thanks man! It's hard to push though the YT algorithm barely pushing my content but one of these days it'll take off.

[@wilsonrawlin8547]

@@TwoBrosRC That is the crazy part for sure. I don't have a channel, but I have issues with notifications from channels I have subbed and selected "ALL" notifications. I wish I had some good advice or data for you. Many of my subbed channels don't even keep me updated. I have to go to them specifically to see new videos. If I figure it out. I will definitely let you know ASAP.

[@TwoBrosRC]

@@wilsonrawlin8547 It's the computer algorithm deciding what gets viewed and what doesn't - sub views aren't an issue. Getting exposed to an audience is though. It's a common barrier to success across social media. You can't be famous until you're famous for being famous.

[@dbirds21]

fantastic flying and finally a jet from freewing other than the su 35 that kicks ass.

[@TwoBrosRC]

That's a bird on my list for sure. Tempted to mod the F-22 to have thrust vectoring and really see what I can make it do.

[@screamingsavage001]

Nicely done!

[@timothyroth8073]

I fly a lot of different planes and this is my favorite of them all ! I am still running my stock 6s 1750kv outrunner lol with stock impeller . I do have guniac afterburner on it and I used gold metallic with an airbrush to simulate the bronze look older full scale Raptors get . I gotta say you fly the HECK out of yours ! Beautiful bird , flying and video man ! Thanks for sharing .

[@TwoBrosRC]

Thanks Tim! Seriously consider upgrading to the 1950kv from FMS. It's a game changer for all 90mm aircraft.

[@dandork20]

Great vid, thanks!

[@cwwisk]

I'm stoked for this video. Keep 'em coming Jon (without the H)!

[@TwoBrosRC]

This is actually one of my favorite flights I've ever performed. Now that the F-22 is where I want it weight and CG-wise, it's something I want to feature more often.

[@3DMOFO2020]

5:37 SWEET!! All kidding aside Jon if you have to try any new move or get the feel of this jet or anything else you fly you have take it high up I'm not offended or bothered at all do whatever makes you comfortable especially if you're re-maidening it after a crash I understand totally. Another fine job hopefully one of these I would love to see you add a trust vectoring system on that f-22??

[@TwoBrosRC]

Haha, I'd like to think I got close enough to the ground to make you happy my man. Next time I'll aim to be a bit lower and see what happens. TV is something I'd like to do but I'm not sold on the idea of having to aftermarket the system via a 3D printing gig, you know? It should've been stock.

[@ArthurRC]

Another great show 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 GG Jon 🤘🏻

[@TwoBrosRC]

Cheers bud :)

[@tabdycollins]

Sorry you had an accident with your F14. I will watch your progress with it - mine is still boxed and hidden! - as is my JAS-39 Grippen. Latest arrival and first in queue is the F22. I plan to install an AR8360T to get maximum flexibility. The Blue Box doesn't seem to have the expansion flexibility but I was wondering whether you considered retaining it to cope with Gear sequencing rather than using the sequencer on the NX10 - which is what I have - and also to cope with the lights. Weather here in UK more conducive to fiddling than flying at the moment!

[@TwoBrosRC]

Hi Tommy! Check over my F-22 setup, it has the info you'll need regarding the blue box: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIG1dotsjZaIb8k I removed it entirely and used my 10th channel to run the nose gear door on a sequence. I also re-wired the jet and removed the ribbon cables along with installing a FMS 1950kv 90mm motor with an Avian 130a ESC - its BEC lead is also tied to a 10a BEC which only runs the gear to prevent them from burning out on the 6v Avian power.

[@tabdycollins]

I've watched that but need to do so again in slow time when I start the build. Enjoyed your latest on F14.

[@old-rcplane-phart]

How to easily tell YOUR channel is getting more popular? KZbin start interjecting ads b4 YOUR openings! I got 4 ads b4 YOUR video started! Congratulations my friend!👍

[@old-rcplane-phart]

AND, ads during the video!

[@TwoBrosRC]

Thanks for sticking with me my man!

[@jeffhenderson934]

I just wanted to mention to any of your subscribers that are idiots like me that struggled on their maiden and fought a severe porpoising and incredible unstable flight on the F-22. If the F-22 is still in one piece, check your elevator bolt assembly. I’m not sure what I did wrong, I just disassembled the elevator from the fuse and tried again. The F-22 went from a bucking Bronco to a big baby. You get this balanced out and trimmed its as easy to fly as a trainer in level flight.

[@charlesmcguire9711]

Maybe a video taking people through your f22 mods?

[@TwoBrosRC]

I did! Check my channel for the F-22 setup video.

[@tabdycollins]

I've been searching for a Vectored Thrust mod for the F-22. One or two people seem to have done it a few years ago. Wondering if you've investigated. I reckon it would be a really good mod.

[@TwoBrosRC]

It's a lot of work to install and set up. My contention with it is that I shouldn't have to mod in a TV system on a jet that should have already come with it. But even then, I'd need a 12 channel receiver to work it into my current setup so that's another reason I haven't done it just yet.

[@tabdycollins]

I was planning to integrate the nozzles into the same servo as operates the elevator which should KISS! I think I've discovered someone who can provide the kit.

[@claudebaron9334]

That’s a very good pilot, extreme controls but I guess he’s very nervous inside, he doesn’t seem like it from watching him pilot, but my good it’s a true talking machine, he just can’t stop in fact often he kinda sound like he’s talking to himself but with a loud voice, But he’s a very good pilot 👍

[@TwoBrosRC]

Thanks?

[@tennesseenrelicslive]

The inverted alpha was cool! I was waiting to see a full throttle speed pass😁 How fast will it go?

[@TwoBrosRC]

I'd wager that its top speed with the 1950kv is probably 120 MPH at best.

[@screamingsavage001]

Its pretty fast but don't loose sight of it. And there is a motor upgrade for it

[@thomasfischetti5012]

Do you feel the fms motor upgrade has made a big improvement on low end power and being able to get out of a stall?

[@TwoBrosRC]

Absolutely. It's much lighter weight than stock so it's much easier to fly, IMO.

[@thomasfischetti5012]

@@TwoBrosRC weight savings done has been updated motor and fan unit, then removing blue box? Any other major ones?

[@TwoBrosRC]

@@thomasfischetti5012 Removing the ribbon cables too. That'll help a lot.

[@thomasfischetti5012]

@@TwoBrosRC perfect! Just curious, did you ever fly the 8s version? Deciding if I should go with your build or swap out my mother and esc for the 8s system.

[@TwoBrosRC]

@@thomasfischetti5012 Never flew 8s - always figured the extra weight from the motor, ESC, and batteries wouldn't be worth it.

[@jasonsledge542]

Hello Jon, What have you found as the best CG point for this jet?

[@TwoBrosRC]

160 to 165mm works best in my experience. 170 is just on the edge of being past neutral, nearly in tail heavy territory.

[@jasonsledge542]

@@TwoBrosRC Thank you!!

[@iansrc4152]

Hey Jon, your flying just makes me want to fly more! Is the fms unit a drop in for this jet btw?

[@TwoBrosRC]

So glad to hear that, Ian! No, it's unfortunately not a drop in - you'll have to shave the foam motor block a bit to get it to fit, and mine could still use some shaving to make it a flush fit.

[@NationChosenByGod]

Which do you prefer the 90mm F-22 or the 70mm F-35? Thank you.

[@TwoBrosRC]

The 90.

[@michellehsu5158]

Just IMAGINE if this plane had a working ejection seat for the “pilot”. It would be so ‘useful’ before crashes!

[@Peanutbutterfunds]

I want this as my first rc plane is it optional
