Finally the build plans for my favorite model! It's AWESOME! Thank youuuu, FlitTest! And thank you, Dan, for the awesome new plans. I really like it over the older plans.
Loving the contrast between paper and foam, very clear.
I ordered the kit to support these guys and built one from scratch. Nice flying plane! This was just my second plane. FPV on this is great. I also scratch built a 15 inch version with some modifications and it flies very well. I love the work these guys do.

Ground Control RC only relevant and intelligent comment in this entire thread so far. Good job guy!
thanks so much for making this affordable! cant wait to build it once it arrives
you guys need to push the purchase of the speed builds a little harder. you guys are amazing and you need to be rewarded for it. you guys literally are the reason I completely stopped ground RC and now I blow every paycheck on plans and "quapters" haha. all because of you guys. seriously excellent content. thank you. THANK YOU
I just bought this Plane today and can't wait to get it!!
I'm blown away by the fact that it actually FLIES!!! 😵 I'm excited USAF... The F-22 Raptor requires SO MUCH in the way of Avionics, JUST TO STAY IN THE AIR, that a Computer Failure REQUIRES Bailout!!! Yet this flies easily, with simple Elevon Mixing, and NO Rudder Control. I'm staggered!! I'm more Impressed with what you guys do for the RC Community. You deserve accolades!! ~ Carmine 💥 ⛽

suggestion; before you glue down the control rod covers use some paraffin wax on the control rods (you will find that the servos don't work as hard. longer battery life? possibly)
Awesome!!!!!!
nice video you guy's are a lot of help. can you guys do a review on the hobbyking yak 52 please.
using a thin straw around the push rods will help to prevent binding. in a crash the rod can slip between the two pieces. you can also put silicone lube in the straw for smooth movements.

I know it's a lot of work, but Anyone else think Flite Test is at the stage where build videos should be separate entity to regular Mon & Wed Vids

No. They're a company and this is their channel. It would make no sense to put build tutorials for things sold by Flite Test on a separate channel to Flite Test.

+LAZA11 Unashamedly, I admit it - I enjoy watching their vids - yes, there's entertainment there. But if that was all they did, well... it'd get a tad boring, wouldn't it? I mean... it'd be like watching the Travel Channel - oooooh ahhhh what nice scenery... Let me take advantage of the wording here (grin) it's "Flite Test" not "Flite View". And... what about the many many first-time viewers... the ones just getting into the hobby?
I really wanna try doing a scratch build like this.
I love it
watching the video is just as good as making one yourself. (:
wow.. you're a pro whow >>
Why do you not use an aerofoil shape? That adds lift. Would allow slower flight and more control.
The waterproof foamboard its easyer to see what you do on the build videos!

What an exerlant way to build a plane. I'm at the moment muking on with cardboard little smaller but a good size till this came along and I thought I need for speed I would like this kit I've been clicking on to different thing but can't see perches I'm probably brain drop god a long video we'll done. It reminds me of the program blue Peter years back the good thing about this video everything was strait forward he made it look easy but it's not you have to good with your hands but hey great stuff. If this was done five years back we're have they been hiding the flying was a bit choppy with the wind it didn't look good on the eye to windy but great at the same time yes great stuff
thank you
I admire your work, I also worked with model airplanes and riding cnc hotwire here in Brazil, however many of the materials for constructions are limited here .... their kits are cut by laser or cnc router? where can I buy the same type of foam that u use ..
You guys should try building a asymmetric plane. That would be pretty awesome :)

Seriously, where did you get that tape dispenser. I want one for my build table.
Big question I recently build the mini f22 from the templates. The battery is running a 3s 1.11v 2200 mAh 30-40C battery the weight is about 179g after installing the rest of the part the center of gravity is off and nose heavy what are some options yould suggest. Btw this is my first build
@doesntexist9544

Use 1000mah battery and install it at the front of it's nose
It was my second flight, with 3s 1000mah, after launching it 3 min after, the wing got bend, and it was hard to controll, and it got harder and harder and it went straight to the ground 😅
Super
Those are some healhty beads.
Hey there.. Just an FYI there are a few errors in the youtube description with broken links and such...
can you post the link of all the products used here but can you find a cheaper one of all the products u use her? thankyou
How does the esc get any air flow cooling being tucked into the closed nose canopy???
Hi team FliteTest The free build plans are for the FT Mighty mini Vector. Do you have free plans for the canopy on the FT Mighty mini F22 Raptor ? I have found a super mini HD camera, and have a plan on making a new canopy design, with the camera build in. But I need to copy some of the dimensions on the standard canopy, I only want to change the front of the canopy, so the camera blends in. It would then be easy to change camera canopy, to the standard canopy, If the plan fails :-) Thanks for super assembly videos.
your website says the connection has been reset and i dont know why because i can do other things with my internet and i have no problem
Are you able to update the links as most of them are broken or not linking to the items.
I bought the F22 and the first time I flew it flipped upside down and the two tail spars hit the ground the two spars are ok but it ripped the water proof paper away from the plane. I don't know if this is a problem with the water proof paper or not, but I thought I would just let you know. With the white paper planes when I would crash I would just get cracks in the joints, i.e. the hot glue points and the connection points for the power pod, the end spars, but never in the paper itself. Just asking
Does the waterproof foam deteriorate if you paint it like the regular one does
Where can I find the tiled plans to download? This link goes to a different plane and in the Flite Test Store it goes to the full size Raptor?

Im 11 months late but you can find links to the full and tiled plans at the bottom of this page, you're right, they put in the full sized one by accident www.flitetest.com/articles/mighty-mini-f-22-diy-build
In the store when are the starter kit going to be available
Good
you guys really should make a mini spitfire
Would it make a positive difference if you use a 3 blade prop?
out of all your scratch build plans u guys have in your website, which model is the fastest??? i would like an answer
im not into the RC scale vehicles, but this was really cool actually :D
What I understand is the speed build is not available for that now , is that correct ?
when the next crazy build series?
+FliteTest is this a good beginner plane? or should I buy a more basic plane? I'm trying to decide between a couple of the planes that you guys have "easy build kits" for in the +FliteTest store online
Cool 😆 i want it 😎
This plane is a good project problem if you lift plane up buy wing not a lot the foam cracks. Had to put thin barbaque stick though both wings. The fins should have been further apart so the prop gives more power
i just figured out that it is only your store that gives trouble your website works fine
Which one is easier to build from scratch? The Vector from Peter or the F22 from Josh?
Where can I get this waterproof paper?
What is the thrust angle, and to what side is it pointing? I’d like to make one of my own but don’t know how to figure that out with the speed build kit.

I flew mine with straight power pod, was flying great until its wing broke due to overload. Lesson learned - now I put CF spars in models with flat wings
What is that small metal type piece called that you attached at the back of the plane to attach the metal string there.

would this be a good first airplane? (if not which other mini would be)
I'd buy one, but I don't have the money for the transmitter and all the other electronics, let alone the body of the aircraft... LOL! That's the crazy bit of it; The body is the cheapest part... But it takes some time and patience to build.
I really wanna try doing a scratch build like this. but I could not fine those controller with wiring for the plane.
