Cool Aerobatic Flights with the 8S F-22 Raptor!! ✈️ Freewing RC Jet

Here are a few great flights flown with my Freewing 8S 90mm EDF F-22 Raptor R/C Jet flown both at my local field 'Club Aeromodelisme Els Cards' and at a friend's field 'Club Aeromodelisme Ciutat de Reus', the last flight being flown on a very windy day!! :DDD
Shameless plug: if you want to contribute to my work, please consider having a look at some of my merch! ;)

Mind that although most of the jet is stock, I performed several modifications. Removed the infamous Blue Box and wing ribbon wires, passed individual leads to wing servos, mixed them all separately, removed pilot figure and nose gear light, installed a HE A3S3 gyro (which required physical servo reversing one stabilator servo, inverting motor and pot wires), added a green LED to make a fake HUD reflection effect, airbrushed the canopy to make it look more golden, like the full-scale one. Need to pick the sun at the right angle to show up though!
More details on my setup coming (soon?)!
