Freewing F 22 Raptor Build Part 2. Benefits to switching to LIHV 4s batteries with Xfly EDF

Freewing F 22 Raptor Build Part 2. Benefits to Switching to LIHV 4s Batteries. This is supplemental part 2 video to the build video I did two years ago. I decided to change to LIHV batteries to complement the high powered X-Fly 64mm EDF in this build.

UPDATE 8/5/2024
Flew the F22 with the LIHV battery setup and on the second flight the 64mm XFLY EDF bearings went out or it fried. It didn't smell but it made a terrible sound in the air and the outrunner is difficult to spin by hand. I just replaced it with another 64mm XFLY EDF and will lower the timing back down to the default of 18 degrees from 30 degrees. I don't know if that is the problem or not. The XFLYS are already pushed with their high KV ratings so maybe the high timing and the high amps or rpm is too much for it. Or it was a motor with questionable bearings. I don't know.

At 18 degrees the peak amps is now down to 59 from 67 and the peak watts is down to 898 watts from 1067. Hopefully this will keep the new motor from being damaged.
