Flite Test - FT-22 Raptor - BUILD

We show you how to assemble your FT-22 Raptor!

I just finished the build and maiden flight on the FT 22. WOW! What an exceptional plane! I thought maybe I over powered it with a SuperTiger 10 but it was not affected by the extra weight. It has unlimited vertical but will fly nearly walking speed. This plane is the best money I have spent in this hobby for a very long time. Thanks Flite Test !!

Josh, you are such a genuine guy, it's a pleasure to see you on the screen. Anybody else would not mention with such genuine conviction that building from scratch is what you want people to do and not feel "enslaved" into buying you speed build kits. Thanks for being that honest and the success of Flitetest is testament to this attitude being compatible with a working business model.

Kudos to you fellas for not only marketing great products but for doing it with integrity. Your videos are beautifully produced and extremely easy to understand and follow as well. I wish Flite Test the greatest ongoing successes.

Met a young man and his father at the park while flying my quad.  The 16 year old had the FT-22 Raptor. I was amazed how skilled he was and how cool the FT-22 flew. I'm now waiting for my kit and parts to arrive so I can have my very own! :) I hope I run into them again so I can thank them for turning me on to Web site. Can't wait to Fly mine.  P.S. Great Video.

I built mine and powered it with a BP Cheetah A2212-6, 2200kv BDC motor, 40watt Cheetah ESC, 1300mah battery. What a great flyer. With that motor you can really scream or I was having lots of fun at about 25% power just cruising around. Can't say enough about Flitetest designs. For a person that doesn't have the big bucks to spend on the store bought planes these open new doors from the generosity of the Flitetest crew. Thanks Flitetest!

Josh Bixler is the Bob Ross of Paperboard rc-planes. Realy like to see the videos of the building instructions! Great plane, plan and build!

I've had plans from RCPowers for 2 months now. Why they could not put out a video like this is beyond me.   For this reason I plan to order a plane kit from you so I can follow step by step on how to build. I've wanted to build one of these but never knew where to start. This looks very easy and something I think I can do, now that you  have given me a little guidance.  I hope you sale thousands of them. Thanks So Much !!!

Just built mine, and looks amazing. Gonna have to fly it tomorrow! I generally don't like jets but this thing looks mad. Also I know your guys' plans are so easy to build compared to others. Sorry I didn't buy a kit yet but I'll definitely be getting some decals sometime, maybe a shirt too! :)

Suggestion: I know you guys have many plans/projects coming down the shoot and love your channel. One potential episode I, and many others, would like to see is a review of the zephyr 2 with fpv! Thanks and love the show!

I built mine with a 2200kv motor, 40a esc, and 9x5x3R prop. Also took apart an LED flashlight, got a red and blue for wingtips, and good to go! Night flight is going to be amazing. If I can control the speed.

One of the things I did was install the wire linkage stopper backwards and trim out a little bit of extra foam for the throws of the servo arm. It takes away some of the pressure from the wire on the servo arm.

[TubularLemming]

This is really relaxing to watch, thanks for the vids guys.

[scstiff]

That is super cool, my boy and I are definitely building one, thank you!

[BelperFlyer]

Great video!  Postage to the UK makes buying your quick build kits expensive so I'll have to scratch-build I guess :)

I have a great aversion to glueing servos directly to an airframe in case they need to be replaced (stripped gears for instance).  I get over the problem by wrapping ordinary paper masking tape round the servo before glueing it in place.  Then the servo can be removed simply by cutting through the tape with a scalpel.

I would usually fix receivers ad esc with Velcro but the making taper works for them too, I guess.

A few years ago, I thought r/c was dying out... honestly, nothing has convinced me otherwise as much as this channel.

Thank you for that.

[OVERTLYCLANDESTINE]

Your always smiling and are very cheerful in this video. Thts really cool

[KiloDelta]

I was on your guy's website wanting to order a Ft22 speed build kit with a power pack. When will "power pack B" be in stock? If not soon, will any other power packs work for the ft22?

[RoboTekno]

I counted 26 "Simply"s or "Simple"s.

Flite Test Build videos would make a GREAT drinking game :-D
