F-22 RC Crash Testing (Part 1)
If you are an intermediate to advanced RC pilot, we have PDF plans of this Vectoring Thrust Depron F-22 here:

Here are some super strong METAL GEAR SERVOS that are almost impossible to break!

And this is the PARKJET MOTOR we always use for all out jets:

This plane is a larger stronger version of our 2007 F-22 kit. Its has a all depron nose that is super strong. Holds up to crashes much better than expected, I am very happy with how this one turned out. See the above link for more info on this plane.
Yes, I know it looks like we are a couple of dopes crashing a beautiful jet, but here is what we are testing:
1) Stability at slow, medium, and high speeds
2) Wing Loading
3) Maneuverability
4) Thrust Vectoring
5) And the most fun, crash testing to expose any weak spots so they can be strengthened. Also, we like to see just how far we can push it and still have it actually fly. A tremendous amount of data is gained for present and future projects when an aircraft is pushed to and past its limits.
I'll post part 2 here when its up next weekend…………..
What happens is just amazing and is a new record for even us.
For now, if you have time, here is a couple of our old videos from 2006/2007 of some flight testing of our original F-22 project.
Prototype 1 (M-1) We are experimenting with the very fist thrust vectoring jet:

Prototype 3 (M-3) Here we are experimenting with the smoke bombs we used for the final YouTube video. Its just amazing how it went from what you see in these 2 videos to the final video and what it all took to get there:

Final video of the 2007 F-22 kit (M-4 and M-5 were used in this video)

Yes, but I am doing another plane with swing wings rather than the Switchblade. I need a simpler plane with more flight performance. The new one is just about done.

is the Switchblade u made capable of swing wings yet?
Cause they don't …
Cause they don't have the acceleration we need when coming out of the maneuvers. EDF are good for speed but just don't have the pick up we need. We tried it plenty of time.
why not try to …
why not try to create a ducted model?
i think you …
i think you designed the plane perfectly(from what I can see), it looks like a grate model. i recon you did a fantastic job.
That's what going …
That's what going to happen when the F22 meets a Mig.

Awesome Dave, that was really funny it actually reminded me of the video I posted of my F-22 about a year ago…so when are you posting part 2 ??

in 1824, a mental man was shipped all around to different asylums. a year later, he was in the showers and skinned a man (elbert simon)and slipred his flesh dry. they had to put him to sleep. they asked if he had one last request and he said yes. he went to the bathroom and carved 666 on? his forehead. they gave him the shock treatment.since yu read this, he is going to come to your house in 6 hours and 66 seconds to skin you dry. you can make him go away by posting this 3 times ON A NEW VID

You guy are really good with not getting upset with it when it crashes, Seems like I`m always a little upset when I crash my heli.

I love it. One of my favorite questions is, "How much does it cost?" or how about, "Can I play?" by the neighborhood fat kid.
