DIY a 3D F22 RAPTOR

HI GUYS, THIS IS MY FIRST RC FOAM BUILD.... ANY MISTAKES PLEASE SUGGEST ME THE REMEDIES. HOPE YOU WILL LIKE THE BUILD.

THE BASIC REQUIREMENTS ARE,

1. FOAM BOARD

2. SERVOS 9 GM (2)

3. ESC 40AMP

4. OUTRUNNER BRUSHLESS MOTOR 1400KV

5. 9 X 4.5 PROPELLER

6. 1300 MAH OR HIGHER LIPO

7. HOT GLUE GUN

8. HOBBY KNIFE OR PRECISION KNIFE

9. DECAL SHEET

THE F22 RAPTOR PLANS ARE TAKEN FROM FLITE TEST .

I HAVE ATTACHED THE FULL SIZE AND TILED PLANS .

ONCE YOU PRINT THE PLANS , JOIN THE TILED PLANS. I SIMPLY MERGED THE LINES AND JOINED THEM WITH DUCT TAPE. TRY TO BE PRECISE AND MAKE SURE YOU DON'T JOIN THE LINES OVERLAPPING ONE ANOTHER.

CAREFULLY CUT THE PLANS OUT FROM THE SHEET(REMEMBER RED LINES IN PLAN ARE SCORE CUT AND BLACK LINES ARE THROUGH CUT); THERE ARE MANY PREFERRED WAYS OF REPLICATING PLANS ON THE FOAM BOARD, I CHOOSE THE WAY OF STICKING THE PLANS TO THE FOAM BOARD ;DRAW A ROUGH SKETCH OF IT; THEN TAKE MEASUREMENTS AND CORRECT IT; THOUGH ITS A TIME CONSUMING PROCESS, IT SATISFIED ME ;

NOW WE ARE JUST STEPS AWAY FROM THE BUILD ; HAVE A HOBBY KNIFE ( PRECISION KNIFE ). START CUTTING OUT THE FOAM BOARD ; BE PRECISE AND CAREFUL ; TO CUT THE FRONT HEAD CURVES, JUST ROUGHLY CUT THE CURES WITH +0.5 OR -0.5 CM TOLERANCE ; AFTER WHICH THE DESIRED CURVE CAN BE OBTAINED BY RUBBING WITH EMERY SHEETS;

FIRST WE BUILD THE MOTOR MOUNT; AS PER PLANS CUT THE BOARD AND DRILL HOLES ACCORDINGLY; HOT GLUE THE INNER EDGES HEAVILY ;

IN BUILDING THE HEAD; NOTE THAT THERE ARE 3 SCORE CUT AREAS ; MAKE SURE THE SCORE CUT ALLOWS YOU TO FOLD THE BOARD FLEXIBLY ; IF IT DOESN'T SCORE IT UNTIL YOU GET SUCH ; USE THE TEMPLE TAT IS ALSO PROVIDED AT THE PLAN FOR ASSEMBLING THE HEAD;

BEFORE U ATTACH THE AILERON TO THE WING; MAKE A 45 DEG. CUT ON THE EDGES AS SHOWN IN IMAGE; PLACE THE AILERON ON IT POSITION AND DUCT TAPE IT ON TOP ; TURN THE MODEL UPSIDE DOWN AND FILL LITTLE HOT GLUE ON THE CUT EDGES (45 DEG.) AND WIPE OF THE HOT GLUE WITH A SHARP FOAM PIECE; HOLD THE AILERON IN POSITION FOR ABOUT 20 SECS AND SETTLE IT.; THIS GIVES A HINGE LIKE FIT; ONCE YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE FIT DO THE SAME FOR OTHER;

NOW PUT THE PARTS TOGETHER ;

FIRST GLUE THE SIDE COVERAGE IN POSITION ;

THEN GLUE THE F22 HEAD;

FINALLY GLUE THE VERTICAL WING USING THE TEMPLATE AT A GIVEN ANGEL AS SHOWN;

NOW THE BASE MODEL IS COMPLETE;

GLUE THE ELECTRONICS AS PER THE IMAGE ;

CHECK FOR CG AND ALIGN THE BATTERY AS REQUIRED;

CHANNEL MIX THE TRANSMITTER ;

AND THE F22 IS READY FOR ITS FIRST FLIGHT !!!!!!

DECAL THE MODEL IF U WISH.... I TRIED TO ADD SOME SPICY LOOK TO IT... SO I GOT THE PUNISHER VERSION.....

KEEP YOUR FINGERS AT THE CG POINT UNDERNEATH THE WINGS.... IF ITS NOT PERFECTLY BALANCED CHANGE THE BATTERY POSITION UNTIL U ATTAIN THE PERFECT CG .

I USE FLYSKY CT6B .... THIS IS THE LINK FOR ELEVON MIXING.....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0x09V3Bd4M

IN THIS VIDEO FOR MIX 3 USE -100% FOR PERFECT MOVEMENT OF ELEVONS.

NOW WE ARE DONE BUILDING A F22 RAPTOR FOAMIE ... MAIDEN VIDEO UPLOADING SOON.
