Introduction
Sophisticated sensors, unmatched close-in dogfighting skills and undetectable at long range. The F-22 Raptor™, the
U.S. Air Force's newest aircraft, is the most advanced stealth fighter in aviation technology. With the F-22 Raptor ARF,
beginners can learn to fly on a trainer that looks exciting. This revolutionary trainer sports red plastic NACA droops and
wing tip extensions that attach to the outer edge of the wing to provide extra stability. Once you’ve mastered the basics,
remove the droops and change the settings on the flap system to move up to the next level and enjoy sport aerobatics.
