For those that don't care about split screen videos showing the hands on transmitter, here is the 'clean' edit of my flights 92nd to 95th with the F-22.

Otherwise, refer to the following links for the 'transmitter split-screen' videos:

You can see that I messed up and allowed one battery pack to get completely drained which forced me to land without power. Thankfully I managed to get the jet back on the field and the impact was soft enough that the plane took no damage ;)

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!
