Stuarts back to give you a first look and Flight Review of the new XFLY Twin 40mm F22 we've just received at Hobbyking.com. We demonstrate how easily it hand launches with the landing gear removed and how much better the performance is with a 4S Tunrigy Bolt LiHV pack, and we experiment with differential thrust control!

XFLY is continuing to expand its incredible range of EDF models with this fantasticlooking Lockheed Martin F22 Raptor. It is a small, scale twinEDF model of the supersonic allweather stealth fighter that was developed for the United States Air Force. The US Air Force requirement was for an advanced tactical fighter to replace the F15 Eagle and the F16 Fighting Falcon that had the capability of competing with the Su27 Flanker, and MiG29 Fulcrum.

XFLY has used the same care and attention, quality components, and materials that they use on their larger and more sophisticated models to produce the F22 Raptor, it is manufactured to the same high standards that you have come to expect from XFLY. The F22 is made from a lightweight, tough EPO foam, and is supplied complete with twin 40mm 12blade EDF fan units, twin 14135000KV motors, twin 20A ESC, and 5 x 9g digital servos.

The 4Scompatible power system delivers an abundance of power for excellent thrust, loads of speed, and an incredible turbinelike sound. The strong landing gear supplied is fixed with a steerable nose gear, but due to the very stable flight characteristics, abundance of power, and molded hand grips, the F22 is also quite happy being handlaunched with the landing gear removed. This takes it to the next level with even more speed and excellent vertical performance. The model is beautifully finished in a grey color scheme of the US Air Force, and assembly is quick and easy with no gluing required.

The XFLY F22 Raptor is perfect for intermediate and experienced pilots who are looking for a small, lightweight model that is manoeuvrable, aerobatic, and fun to fly in small areas. As per the fullsize, the model has allflying horizontal stabilisers which give it amazing manoeuvrability. These include large loops, rolls, Cuban 8s, and high alpha manoeuvres such as Cobra's, Kulbit's, and many many more. It looks great in the air and on the ground and has excellent lowspeed handling qualities, high alpha landings are a dream. So if you are looking for a small, fantasticlooking scale EDF jet, then the XFLY F22 Raptor is for you.
