Destroyed & Reborn: 3 Years of the Freewing F-22, RC Jet Perfection

Our F-22 finally came in courtesy of @MotionRC, with Mobius 1's livery from Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies. Running on a full 17 channel setup, this is the most complicated aircraft we've ever built or tested for the channel - and it flies like a dream, earning an absolutely perfect score.

Love the Ace Combat references on your planes

[RCever]

Oh man... the feels!
Shattered skies planted the passion seed for aviation in me... great vid!

[FredWeaver-bk]

F-22 is a beautiful jet and this one appears to fly very well!

[Masterchief-i]

0:50 the pass next to the flag looked so cinematic

[qnoorani]

Couldn't agree more. The Freewing F-22 90mm is by far the best EDF I have ever flown. 8S or 6S it doesn't matter. Throw in some of the mods and it's next level.

[jamesonclark]

Almost 6 years old, and it's still my favorite EDF!! Hard to beat the FW F22!

Nice flying, Jon!!

[itzjoeylo]

I think I’ll just live vicariously through you and your very Scale F-22 Raptor from Ace Combat franchise. One Ace flying another Ace…! Wow that is impressive, I wish I was good at creating mixes on my Futaba Equipment. Love the Content Jon…

[anthonyC]

Love AceCombat! Was hoping you had this jet in your videos and the fact that the ace combat music is playing is so good.

[nirlachman]

Absolutely one of the best! Thanks for the Dubro tip Jon! 😊

[airhammer]

Great video, Jon flying the MRC F-22 is always fun to watch (so is the full scale :). Big Thumbs up TBRC,
AirHammer out!!

[ltfadl]

Outstanding video Jon, love that you got it back up in the air brother. I agree 10 out of 10, one of my most favorite jets in my hanger by as well. I have the 8s version and I run 4500 4s Lipos for weight savings but man does it scoot. Absolutely love it.

[wyattweaver]

Soooo happy you guys made it have Ace Combat 4 skin!! I loved that game as a kid, it’s a big reason why the F22 is my favorite plane!

[ModelAVRChannel]

Holy crap dude, you have that thing freaking dialed in! With all the throw and power I can see why it is your favorite. It is as if this was made for what you like to do. I love the D series Hitec servos. Got some on the way for my H9 Christen Eagle. Great flying man!

[JanGorales]

Really amazing jet model and great pilot's skills!

[RaGeRC]

My Dream jet!! I already have it's little brother the 64mm version which I've customized with working rudders that plane is almost impervious to stalling so you can throw it around in the sky because it's so forgiving! But I need that 90! Can't wait to get my hands on one! Prob this spring I'll pull the trigger one one.

[hamiltonshangar]

Very nice setup! I am building a pretty light and high quality one right now. More for scale than speed but it will be light enough to be aerobatic as well. Like you said the amount of things that you can do with this jet is unlimited! I went with D85 all the way around last time around besided the rudders, they are great servos. Especially with the soft start feature and prograrmming of the Hitec Programmer. Cheers

F-22 is so nice, I hope there will be a video with AS3X+ settings soon. I'm excited to see what performance you get with it 🤩👍

[leviathancleveland]

Oh man, awesome!! I have a F-35 and I like it, I've been considering the F-22 and this vid has caused me to finish my decision. I will be flying the F-22 as soon as I shift around some priorities to free up some greens. I really like watching you fly because that's the way I fly as well. I have a SU-35 that I flew into some kind of tight maneuver so hard it snatched the Velcro battery straps loose and the canopy and battery detached from the plane at about 125 feet. Somehow the SU went into kinda a flat spin and slowed enough so when it hit the ground it didn't explode. You know what I mean, that kinda foam just goes to fragments when you wreck. Anyway thanks for the vids and info.

[cliffdavis]

Just installed the thrust vectoring mod on my 8s version...all I could do was giggle at the things this jet can do.

[AerospaceMatt]

Alright Jon. You’ve convinced me. Big F-22 will be on the list!
