HOW FAST are the Freewing F-16 Falcon and F-22 Raptor?

[@AerospaceMatt]

The F-16 servos control both the ailerons and elevators together, so when you pull back, the ailerons pull up on both sides, spoiling the lift and increasing the turn radius. Also it has a conventional horizontal stabilizer and elevator setup, not stabilators like the F-22. That’s why I prefer the 64mm F-22. If Freewing had added 2 elevator servos like on the old E-Flite 64mm F-16 it would be way better (not to say they can’t be added by the consumer.) Great video!

Excellent Comparison Video. Thank You Steve.

[@crddrones3457]

Just got new F22 64 mm ,I just need a receiver for it. God bless, take care

[@crddrones3457]

Which receiver would be good if I have a battery that’s 2200 mA 4S, 125 cell .I do have a TS radio master control . Let me know. I appreciate it. Either way God bless. Thanks, Steve.

That F22 is beautiful!

[@AnythingApollo]

[@dbradx]

Loving RC plane week, Cap'n! I dug out my old Calypso Mini sailplane that the family got me after my folks passed away back in 2011. I had stopped flying it after the rudder broke and life got busy, but you've made me remember just how much fun an RC plane is to fly- so I've repaired the rudder and found (surprisingly) that the battery still holds a charge so I'm hoping to head out for a flight this weekend. Now it's time to start deciding what new plane to get 🙂. Thanks as always for the best drone and RC content on the internet!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Great to hear!

[@TheMrskydog]

@CAPTAINDRONE798 Hey Captain I noticed you're using an ix12. Have you had any issues with it? I've heard people complaining about it. I'm thinking of getting one from someone that hardly used it and it looks new. It's practically free for the price he's selling it to me. So let me know thanks.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@TheMrskydog My iX12 is very old and still works, but I upgraded earlier in the year to the ix14. The iX12, with age, had a light burnt out in the color display, so not as bright outdoors, and the operating system often crashed on me (had no effect on flying planes), just meant I had to reboot. I keep it as a backup radio in case my ix14 goes out of commission.

[@TheMrskydog]

@CAPTAINDRONE798 ok thanks for info. Happy flying.

[@julianmclean3869]

WOW!, many thanks for sharing Captain!; the take off with the F-22 Raptor had me on the edge of my seat!; superb looking (and flying sound wise) Planes; it also reminded me of how you can (and need to) fly within VLOS and still have a lot of fun !!!

Scale speed on the F-16 is 1,680 km/h or 1,043 mph. The real life F-16 can hit 920 mph at sea level or 1,350 mph at 40,000 feet.

[@losttouristpresents]

That was great Steve! Both cool looking birds.

Good afternoon sir Steve shout out coming from Philippines.. watching your video since 2016 I'm just wondering if when are you going to make another video about budget drone✌️

[@mikebrach5412]

Have the ice and snow melted yet? I'm really looking forward to watch you try out more scooters. If the scooters are dangerous I would like to see you put out a public service announcement warning people of the dangers. As always, I love your videos, keep up the good work. Thanks.

[@TheElectronicDilettante]

With the F-16, can you control the mix between aileron and elevator? Curious what an ellivon Snap Roll might look like. With no rudder, the Raptor wouldn’t be able to do a true snap roll at all. The higher dollar Futaba and Airtronics controllers from the 90’s and 00’s had a dedicated snap roll momentary switch. Haven’t seen one of those in a while. Great video!!

[@precisionshooters]

I like those a lot!!!

[@dondupuis4007]

Steve what are you using for a controller? Looking forward to this weeks review, great job as always.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

For RC planes I use a Spektrum brand radio. If you are getting into RC planes then a Spektrum NX6 or NX8 would be perfect.

if you like the 64mm f22 i really recomend the 90mm one its harder to fly and you do need more space but its so acrobatic and fun

[@hiii459]

I have a question on the f22 raptor how long would it fly on a 4s 2200 50c

[@Estuardomendez13]

so elevators a tualy push the rear of the plane down to lift the nose so you get downforce from the ailerons when you pull up wich isnt ideal for takeoff, thats why the f16 takes longer to lift off, its also why i personaly prefer a plane with separate ailerons or a delta wing that doesnt push you entire plane down when you want to go up

[@ImperialArmour]

wow that's a huge 4s battery! and it's so fast!

[@EkomwenrenrenIsaac]

Can I get and EDF Motor that is big or powerful enough to powerful a Light single or double seat plane? I think it's smoother than a front propeller plane.

[@Didjeridoolove]

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Great! FPV can become addictive

[@VickaosSQ]

Which is easier and more fun to fly?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

They are equally as easy to fly. The F16 with the rudder control is easier to handle on windy days.

[@velocistafpv]

What 4S batteries are u using? I feel the 25C isn't giving enough for the 64mm..

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Spektrum Smart Battery 2200 mAh 4S lipo. The C rating is for sustained speed. So at 25 I’ll hit max speed in short runs which is why I back off speed on the turns.

[@make1496]

I was wondering how fast the big quads fly like Chimera 7? About the same speed?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I’d say the speed of the Chimera would be similar or slightly faster if a small weight 6s battery is used.

[@kianwong4625]

Hi , you flew these without gyros? Would you say the f-22 is more stable in turns and low speeds? Great thanks

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

They are both very stable. The F-22 is probably a bit more stable.

[@Technicallyaddicted]

I have the 90mm 8s with the 1950 motor. I shaved 700g of weight off the aircraft all around(it’s difficult, do not attempt), and I but giant 2x4s 7200 80C batteries along with a 3rd party 15 blade fan that was more expensive than that 64mm f22, and I’m going to be super excited to see 150mph. I must admit that not all the parts are here, but they will be this summer, and if my math is correct that’s my theoretical top speed in zero wind. I get 7 minutes off those batteries, but only 4 minutes if I’m showing off. Mind you that during testing I drained 50% of my 2x4s3000 test batteries in less than 30 seconds, and absolutely cooked them. I’ve spent more than $1500 on this monster.

A rudder is not going to make your turns tighter my friend, it will just make them coordinated

As a drone pilot I fly with both sticks in turns & with a rudder I get some amazing tight turns.

Two of my favorite everyday flyers, the third is the Rafale 64mm. Hopefully one day someone can come up with durable retractable gears for these smaller planes.

About the same as shown in the vid. Now of course if I do the goofy thing and dive the plane at the ground, it will go faster.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Ahhh… so I see you are new to my channel and probably older then age 40 and old school. I’m a year 2013 drone pilot with a drone channel. In the year 2020 the word “DRONE” referred to anything unmanned and remotely piloted (drones, helicopters, planes), so I taught myself how to fly all of them & the channel mainly focuses on those products. Hence CAPTAIN DRONE means I fly anything the world calls a drone (plane, helicopter, drone), What viewers find amazing is that as a true FPV DRONE pilot, I quickly learned how to fly RC planes & Helicopters within weeks & fly them well. Now I can tell you are new to my channel because I only repeated the DRONE PILOT statement for a month or two and never again.

[@WilDungenvanden]

Please, talk at half speed.

[@Fatpumpumlovah2]

Making a big ddal about rudder lol. 70% of rc jets are bank and jank and can turn on a dime if you want it too.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

If you have never used a rudder as designed, you are certainly missing out. Ailerons will only get you so far in a turn, and are of no use with a cross wind.
