hey guys finally success the f22 flies. First two flights were too good. then my servo mount became loose  it was the elevator servo. the elevator was quite heavy with the motor mounted on it. we decided to give it one more try and you can guess what happened next CRASH!!!!!! . the servo did not respond to inputs and the crash resulted into break of a control horn. then were two more crashes. one was nose dive the model was rigged with carbon rods to transfer  the energy all over the body hence till now no equipment damaged just  a small little piece of foam came out of the model. we decided to call it a day. next thing i am planning with it is make a bigger model and i am making a ducting system of my own and removing the motor from the elevator. also new design has is elevons or ail-a-vator that's because i was not happy with the throw of the ailerons. so stay tuned for the next test. also can you people suggest some control rods as cycle spokes are too heavy and is a trouble to cut them. the custom made ducting for my 2212/06 with a 6*4 prop is my latest addition is my favorite part. will start work tomorrow. thanks. pictures of the next design




the duct

Just brilliant!!.. Would like to see your progress on this.

I think the 18 amp ESC as mentioned in your diagram would not  be suitable for the 2212/06 motor which has max amp of 22 amps.
