The F22 Raptor Foam Board Kit is a compact RC jet style foam board RC plane from The Flite Lab Rapid Build Series, designed for pilots who want a quick building model that still flies like a serious aircraft. With a 660mm wingspan, 920mm length and a typical all up weight of around 550g, it offers stable handling, excellent manoeuvrability and the high alpha capability that F22 style models are known for, while still slowing down nicely for approach and landing.

Using high grade Creator Foam Board sheets and precision laser cut foam and ply parts, the F22 Raptor assembles into a rigid but repair friendly airframe. Carbon tube push rods, 0.9mm piano wire with Z bends, a Velcro battery strap and neodymium magnets are all included, giving solid control linkages and secure hatch access out of the box. Propeller wash flows directly over the control surfaces from the rear mounted motor, which keeps the model responsive right down to slower speeds and makes it easier to explore high alpha and tight circuit flying.

Electronics are kept simple, with just 2x 9g servos, a brushless motor capable of roughly 800g of thrust, a 7 inch electric propeller, a 30A ESC, a suitable LiPo battery and a radio with elevon mixing required to complete the model. The build techniques follow proven foam board methods, so anyone with basic model building experience can follow the downloadable manual and end up with a clean, straight airframe that looks aggressive in the air but is surprisingly approachable in flight.

Typical uses: small field and club flying, sport aerobatics, practising high alpha passes, and general fun flying for pilots who are comfortable with basic RC planes and want a more agile foam board RC jet without a long build.

F22 Raptor FAQ

The F22 Raptor Foam Board Kit has a build difficulty of 3/5 and a flying difficulty of 2/5. It is best suited to pilots who are already comfortable with basic RC flying, including take offs, turns and landings, and who want a more agile sport model with high alpha capability. It is not a first trainer, but it is approachable for intermediate pilots who are ready for something more dynamic.
The F22 Raptor is designed for aerobatics and high alpha flight. With its 660mm wingspan, rear mounted motor and prop wash directly over the control surfaces, it excels at tight turns, quick rolls and slow, high nose angle passes while still remaining controllable. It is a good choice for sport flying at club fields where you want something that looks aggressive in the air but can still slow down nicely for landing.
To complete the F22 Raptor you will need 2x 9g servos, a brushless motor capable of around 800g thrust, a 7 inch electric propeller, a 30A ESC, a suitable LiPo battery and at least a 4 channel transmitter and receiver. The transmitter must support elevon mixing, since the model uses combined aileron and elevator control surfaces. None of these electronics are included in the kit and must be purchased separately.
The F22 Raptor Foam Board Kit has a 660mm wingspan and a length of 920mm. Typical all up weight is around 550g with a dry weight of about 380g and a wing loading of 22g per square decimetre. This relatively low wing loading helps with stable low speed handling and makes high alpha manoeuvres easier to control.
The airframe is cut from high grade Creator Foam Board using precision laser cutting, with matching laser cut ply reinforcement pieces. It uses carbon tubes for push rods, 0.9mm piano wire with Z bends and neodymium magnets for access hatches. This combination gives a rigid but repair friendly structure that stands up well to frequent flying and normal hard landings, and can be repaired easily with foam safe glue if you have a mishap while learning high alpha.
In the box you get all the laser cut foam parts, laser cut ply reinforcement pieces, carbon push rods, 0.9mm piano wire with Z bends, a Velcro battery strap and neodymium magnets. A detailed F22 Raptor build manual is available as a downloadable PDF under the attachments tab on the product page, which walks you through the assembly, radio setup and balancing step by step.
