Jet Legend F-22
My friend Tim and I setup this airplane with triple axis gyros. Our goal was to have a Raptor with great maneuverability and to attempt some of the full scale maneuvers that the real F-22 does.
Pitch: Dual JR8711 servos to an ACT Fuzzy pro gyro
Roll: Dual Futaba 9156 servos to an Futaba GYA 351 gyro (gyro connected to flaps that are used as ailerons)
Yaw: Dual JR 9411 servos to a match box then to Futaba GY401 gyro
We were able to move the CG back about ¾” from the normal position and are still moving it back. It has improved the ability for the airplane to perform very low airspeed maneuvers, and it really helps making it looks smoother and more realistic during flight especially in the gusty conditions that we fly in here in Hawaii. It also greatly reduces the tendency for the airplane to wander in Yaw at low airspeeds, (Crow does this too “thank you to Len G. for this”) I will post a video of it flying later this week.
I have installed servo controlled thrust vector and am waiting on testing that.
