Correct CG location(Posted on August 27, 2018)
The first few times I tried to flt this plane it didn't want to rotate and lift off. Added more up elevator and it took off but flew like a brick. The CG needs to be 19.5 inches from nose, not 17.1 like the manual states. Flies well with proper CG. A tough little foam jet!

A WELL DESIGNED FOAM-BOARD PUSHER JET---VERY EASY ASSEMBLY---FANTASTIC FLYER---I HAVE BEEN FLYING MINE FOR ABOUT THE LAST 3 MONTHS IN FLORIDA---ABOUT 30+ FLITES ON IT SO FAR----I ADDED 2 ADDITIONAL SERVOS FOR SEPARATE AILERON CONTROL IN ADDITION TO ELEVATOR CONTROL---THIS IS A MUCH BETTER SET-UP---THE ONLY PROBLEM I ENCOUNTERED WAS THE LOCATION OF THE CG---THE MANUAL SAYS 17" FROM THE FRONT OF THE PLANE----AFTER A NEAR FATAL FIRST FLIGHT I MOVED THE CG BACK TO ABOUT 19 1/2" FROM THE TIP OF THE NOSE ON SUBSEQUENT FLITES---NOW IT FLYS PERFECT---IT FLYS STRAIGHT AND TRUE---A REAL BLAST TO FLY---

I ASSEMBLED MY F-22 EARLY LAST MONTH [FEB] AND HAVE BEEN FLYING IT FOR ABOUT 5 WEEKS---I HAVE LOGGED ABOUT 30+ FLITES ON IT---WHAT A GREAT AIRPLANE TO FLY FOR JUST PLAIN FUN---IT LOOKS GREAT SHOOTING DOWN THE RUNWAY AND THEN ROCKETING INTO THE AIR---IT IS MILDLY AEROBATIC AND SOLID AS A ROCK IN A MODERATE WIND---I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER WITH THIS PLANE---THE BUILDING PROCESS IS STRAIGHT FORWARD WITH NO REAL COMPLICATIONS---I INSTALLED 4 SERVOS [9-GRAM METAL GEAR TYPE] TO OPERATE THE AILERONS AND ELEVATOR INDEPENDENTLY AND A G-FORCE E-400 2200KV MOTOR WITH A 6x4.5 PROP---USING A 3 CELL 2600 G-FORCE ELITE BATTERY---THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS THE BALANCE POINT---THE MANUAL CALLS FOR 17" FROM THE FRONT OF THE PLANE----ON THE FIRST FLITE IT WAS SO TAIL HEAVY THAT I ALMOST LOST THE PLANE---BY ADDING LEAD WEIGHTS TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE NOSE SECTION THE PERFECT BALANCE POINT 19.5 IN FROM THE NOSE TIP---

What a blast to fly, will be great combat Plane. I've bought 8 for our flying field, was cheaper before was $20.00 now they up the price just like HK. Great landing gear for a profile! I'm impressed !
