I bought a Skymaster F-22 off RC Universe that I have ready to fly but I need its's CG location and recommended control throws. I have an email sent to Skymaster but they have not replied. Anyone have this information? Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Gary

If I remember correct the cg was 173mm and I used the delta mix for elevators and regular alierons and no flaps for landing the jet slows good with long aprouche look on YouTube tooommmek for maiden flight and kentucky jets 2012 cd the first f-22 on the cd.the pictures show the cg mark.

They had a sport scale one a while back. I hear Anton is going to make a new version soon. I hope a huge scale one!!

What's up with SM not returning emails? This is the third time I have seen that mentioned.

SM Team just got back from JetPower. John should be catching up on his emails as I received a reply from him today

SM still hasn't replied to my email. Thanks to good people on RC Universe I have most of my questions answered. Still would like to know the recommended control throws for the ailerons, elevator, rudder and flaps on the F-22.

Check out this older RCU thread on the SM YF-22

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/rc-j...n-video-2.html

Almost at the bottom of this page is where Aero65 provides surface throws that he measured on his YF-22

Between him and Stig Anderson (the original thread poster) they appear to have quite a bit of experience with this particular jet.

I'd try contacting one/both of them with additional questions

I'm working on a SM raptor myself for a friend . i see the CG marks that the previous owner left on the plane but his are about 1" forward of what i'm reading. also i have a lot of weight at the nose wheel. i put a scale under it and it's showing 5 LBS. and 10.oz sounds like a lot to me. can anyone offer any help. i hate to see the owner lose this his first time out. many thanks ,WB_1

I have 1 Lbs 7 oz on mine. The CG should be 42 to 42 1/2 inches from the nose tip. I still have the SM instructions that I came with the plane if needed.
