A couple of weeks ago I posted  blog on fitting an the APM in an electric ducted fan.

Today, I flew it with APM stabilize enabled.  I tried to do a loop with stabilize on and it stopped at the top of the loop, DOH!

Otherwise tried manual mode and put the plane in unusual attitudes and then switched on stabilize and it was PERFECT, wings level straight away.  One of my retracts failed to retract and failed to lock resulting in a not so good landing.  I would have to say that the F22 is a very stable EDF and is able to be flown slow and the flaps and leading edge slats ready slowed it down for landing, but like all jets, pilots tend to fly it like it stolen.
