To the FliteTest Community;

This episode features Colton and his MF-22 Raptor final creation maiden flight. This is hands down our best plane yet, designed by a student and meant to fly by a novice pilot. With the control elevron setup the plane flies amazing and there is plans too, FREE at our website. Colton did an amazing job and we are very proud of his recent success!

Colton did a build video that will follow next week to help out your builds.

 

Download the plans!

 

Preflight checks, we just leveled all trims, kept the throws pretty high since it is just control surfaces on the back and it flew amazing.

 

Very easy out of the hands!

 

Looks to scale!

Success!

It looks great! I think he did an awesome job! I am thinking of three things. 1: One signature fetcher for the F-22 is the thrust vectoring exhaust can you add that “I.E. extending the evalons through to the middle”? 2: Will there be any alternate plans to accept the Flitetest Powerpod? 3: Can you add in a throw gauge and recommended electronics list? All in all I think this will be a great addition to my military war planes. Thanks guys!

1. We will not add the signature thrust vectoring, are you getting confused with the F-35? The plane was designed for beginners, maybe someday down the line. 2. With the amount of student projects going on, no on the POD modification, however, the slot is pretty big and you might be able to rig something up. Our motor mounts are designed specifically for this plane, the plans are free, visit the same page on our site. 3. The recommended electronics are on the cover sheet when you download. The throws are set at high rates on a DXe5, so not sure on the right number. I would set the throws pretty high for it is just 2 control surfaces on the back.

Thanks for the suggestions,
MESArcFF

Really, really great job Colton. I look forward to the build video.

I think MESArcFF is absolutely awesome school program. Makes me wish I had gone to school in Loveland. And that I was 40 years younger. ;)

RoyBro,
Thanks for the comment, I will share the kind words to Colton. Enjoy the build, the plane is very easy to fly, lots of fun. Yes I wish I had a class like this too, once I got the chance to implement it at the school as a teacher, skies the limit!

Thanks,
Marshall

Could the raptor have thrust vectoring?

MESA RC on December 27, 2015
I would think so, you would have to rig something up and maybe cut a little out from the back. If you do, document it, we would love to see how you approach it.
