Homemade EPP F-22 park flyer.

[19000rpm]

The white GG cures in about half the as the brown. It looks better too unless you're building a brown plane. ;D

Lot's of people are also using CA hinges. I haven't tried that yet, but I hear they work great. Right now I'm using hinge tape. I've never had a failure with that and I can paint over it and it becomes "almost" invisible.

I've never tried CA for hinges either.

Like you, I'm using tape hinges on everything. Zero failures and it looks fine.

Kent, Do you have Clearview? If so, have you ever downloaded a F22 foamie model for it? I downloaded this one:

gunnerson.homestead.com/files/clearview_models.htm

I'm trying to find the most realistic to practice on.

[19000rpm]

That will be OK for practice. It's not going to fly quite the same because it isn't the same design. But if it's relatively faithful to the real thing it will be good enough for practice.

It seems unique to anything else I've flown. I suppose it is because of the elevons and the need pull up or down to turn. On the sim, the rudder also responds to command although the sim doesn't have a rudder. Not sure if that is a programming thing or something in the mix.

BT, I got the HB transmitter out, found some AA's and fired up Clearview after I downloaded that model.
That model really is nothing like my F22 at least. It is too touchy and has about 3x the roll rate of mine. At half throttle or so, it is better, but still nothing like mine.

I'll try to find something in there that flies similarly, if I can.
