Well done Keith!!
Glad you got her up. looked to fly great!
Try allot of flap and some crow for landing. When set right it will almost be a hands off landing. The crow will hold the nose up for you since the flaps will try and drop it.
LOL nvm me and Joe replied at the same time

After removing some ballast and doing some more tweaking Keith's Century Jet F-22 is flying great. This video is from the second day Keith has had his new Century Jet F-22 out flying.

My Feedback: (1)
Gunradd asked about scale appearance between the Yellow and Century jet models. I have the Yellow F22 and the big thing I noticed is the fairings over the pushrods on the rudders on the Century Jet F22. To me that is a big factor in scale appearance and makes that area look much more scale.

I agree John! It really makes the plane look allot better.
It seems all 3 of the bigger turbine F22 types messed up different parts scale wise.
Jetlegend got the nose gear doors right but messed up the entire rest of the aircraft scale wise the main wheels and main gear doors are way to small. Its sport scale at best.
Yellow did a good job scale wise but messed up the canopy shape some and the external linkages on the rudder are a sore spot.
Century did great scale wise on the rudder linkages and on the wings they added little notches to make the slats look scale. But Century like jetlegend got the main wheel size to small and the nose gear doors are totally the wrong shape.
Now with the yellow not available anymore the century is the most scale. Would love to do one someday and try to scale it out
