![]() The TV system provides incredible maneuverability, enabling amazingly tight turns and loops, flips, tailslides, and greatly enhanced pitch control at low speeds. This design also features a functional thrust vectoring (TV) system in the pitch axis, just like the real F/A-22 Raptor. Good small field performance was achieved through a combination of low wing loading (only 10.5 oz per sq ft), high power loading (160 watts per lb), and excellent control response (provided by the flaperon/stabilator control system).

From our November 2011 issue of MAN, Steve Shumate’s great F/A-22 Raptor Pusher Jet is an awesome looking park flyer you can build from foam sheet.
