F-22 Foam Board RC Airplane

F-22 Foam Board RC Airplane
In this video I will take you step-by-step on how to build a simple foam board RC airplane model of the F-22 Raptor fighter. The F-22 uses a pusher electric RC motor and is entirely made from 3/16" foam board material.
The F-22 RC airplane construction uses a flat wing with a 2 mm carbon rod reinforcement. The scratch built model uses three channels of control for throttle (via the electronic speed control) and elevons. The model weighs 15 ounces with a three cell lipo battery.
Available for download are a free set of CAD plans as well a building instructions and a link to RC Groups discussion on the construction of this RC model of the F-22. I enlarged my plans 400% for a 28 inch wingspan model.
The F-22 flies very well. The pusher prop provides great airflow over the elevons allowing for positive control. The model is nimble and goes where it is pointed. You'll see the maiden flight as well as flight number 2.
