@@allensrcadventures i’ve had it out a few times since then and it still flies Great so I don’t know. Doesn’t seem to have hurt it at all. Sure was a lot of fun either way.
Put your flaps on a mode switch. That way you can trim your elevator for each position and then set your elevator mix on a 2 second delay. Awesome flight.
@@victorrcjets7660 yeah it’s fine. It looked worse than what it really was. Concrete kind of forgiving that way. If it was grass, it would’ve grabbed the gear and probably ripped it out.
The F-22 70 mm is way lighter and easier to fly. The F-16 90 mm is way way heavier and eats up way more sky. Therefore it’s harder to fly. They both can do insane tricks and stuff but the F-22 70 mm is far more forgiving
Well, I know there’s people out there like me that are probably wondering what happens if you fly an EDF in the rain? Now we know. Lol it seems fine now I want to see what happens in a week or two.
@@braddarnell2498 I’ve flown in the rain before and nothing happened, but it got really wet this time so we’ll see. I’m gonna try this weekend if the weather is good.
No flaps that’s partly to blame for my bad landings… that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Good luck today, let me know how it goes and what you think of it.
@@JetGuyProductions With flaps this thing can be landed so butter smooth and controllable. I cut throttle when turning final, pull the nose up to bleed the airspeed, then feed in throttle to control the vertical speed, and I usually land with about 1/4 or less throttle. Touchdown is controlled almost completely with throttle, nose high like the real thing.
@@phaedradg yeah I had trouble because my flaps were set up. Mine does land a lot better since I’ve fixed my flaps. I still need to dial them in a little better, currently I have way too much flap.
@@Cakey831 I would use adjustable gains and put them on my right knob. I usually increase the value by 20 to 30 but you could start with standard values and then adjust them later. I prefer to use throttle-based gains. And I would use A S3 X plus. I have short videos on throttle-based gains and as3x plus. Two Brothers has videos on it as well, but his videos are like two hours long. If you have any questions ask and I can help you. But I probably won’t be able to reply until after 5 o’clock Eastern standard time.
I never, ever fly any RC plane even when there is a hint that it's going to rain or be very windy. Especially for maiden flights. As it is, the grey scheme is hard for me to see even in clear blue skies-let alone in a grey sky. It would have been best to be patient and wait for a calm, clear day. As for "dialing it in," i always start with the lowest rates listed. And in fact, at times the published low rates can be too much. Case in point: the 70 mm Avanti. The low rates as published are too much.I settled for just 9 mm of aileron throw. Same with the 70 mm T-45-the low rates are more than sufficient. CG? Too backward as published. The manual for the 70 mm T-45 calls for 90 to 100 mm from the root of the wing. That is waaaaay too backward. I have it at around 83 mm and flies great. The more rearward your CG, the more prone you are to do the kangaroo bounce on landing.
@@israeljuarez3707 flying in the rain that day was about the most fun I’ve had a flying to date. The CG was a little too far back with the 3200. But I didn’t push it into the wires that are back there either when I say all the way back, I was just against the wires. Either way it flew really well and it lands better with flaps. I’m definitely not afraid of flying in the rain anymore.

Flying in that weather might not have been the best decision ever … but your plane went home in one piece. So, you get respect 😊

Bad pilot judgement in my books - rain, low cloud, with a paint scheme to match.
Stay home n watch rerun of Maverick.
@@tim7402 no doubt lol!

That’s one of the things I wanna do. But I also need to upgrade the receiver to AS3X plus and set up throttle-based gains. Then setup televons
Great maiden in the rain 🌧 🤙🏻
@@SmokeyMountainRcTravisThompson thanks!
Awesome rain flight !
@@tonyyimbo thanks. I’m wondering if I actually did any damage to it or not. I’ll find out next weekend. I’m sure it’s fine.
Yeah I was going to say “rain no bueno” lol! But nice maiden! 🛩️
Definitely killed my RunCam. It might come back once it dries out.
@@JetGuyProductions yeah hopefully it should bounce back and still work 📷
@@CrazyQuadBrothersP3 I’m charging it now so we’ll see you tomorrow
Yeah, my RunCam is working fine.
Water and fan and radio dont mix look out for tommarow
@@donallen1255 Hey Don! You mean I might get a new radio and fan?! Woohoo!
Its also raining heavy over here
Braver than me, fog and the rain... 😎
A lighting storm is next, I’ll probably need a long antenna tho lol!
Bet you guys didn’t know this had a water cooled EDF
Well, the gear is good in this one. This was like a comedy show!
@@braddarnell2498 lol thanks
at least you didnt rip out the gear.
@@victorrcjets7660 yeah it’s fine. It looked worse than what it really was. Concrete kind of forgiving that way. If it was grass, it would’ve grabbed the gear and probably ripped it out.
Uve got the biggest heaviest balls 😂😂 a grey plane in the rain with grey clouds youre the goat 🐐
Thanks. It was a lot of fun. Never lost a plane in a cloud before lol
Very nice, love the EDF. How might you compare it to the Freewing F-16 V2 High Performance 90mm?
The F-22 70 mm is way lighter and easier to fly. The F-16 90 mm is way way heavier and eats up way more sky. Therefore it’s harder to fly. They both can do insane tricks and stuff but the F-22 70 mm is far more forgiving
If it were me I would’ve waited for better weather but you do you

That motor and ESC is gonna be ruined.

I can’t believe you flew in the rain😂….. were you landing with flaps? Today is maiden day for me🤞Thanks for the video!

Maiden went awesome! 4 flights …. Love this jet, landing were butter smooth! I put slight down mix in full flap. Only mod was Dubro wheels.
@@CaseyCRC nice, glad to hear it. I kind of figured it would land good with flaps. I got to get mine set up for next flight.

@@aggoldstein thanks. You can see the water coming out in a video but in person it was way cooler.
I’m still trying to figure out my as3x gains before I maiden mine. Any suggestions?

I did not have as3X+ set up on mine. But I will soon because it does make a huge difference.

I heard this plane floates a lot - is that true? Mine just got here today?
@@mizz9841 it does glide very well. And unlike me if you dial your flaps in I’m sure it lands very easy
@@JetGuyProductions I can't wait to get this in the air. Watching everyone else until tomorrow when I break that box... Woo hoo
