Product Description
Product Description
Officially licensed by the Lockheed Martin Corporation, Silverlit’s remarkable X-Twin F22 Raptor represents the outstanding air superiority fighter that is famous for its stealth technology. Providing a superb combination of speed, agility and precision, the full size aircraft is often regarded as the premier combat plane in the world. The attractive F22 Raptor gift box includes a fully assembled miniature aeroplane supplied ready-to-fly, complete with a pre-installed 2-channel digital proportional radio control system, and an informative flight manual. Suitable for both beginners and enthusiasts, steer the model using differential thrust by simply moving the transmitter joy stick left or right, whilst operating the throttle to climb or descend. Easy to fly outdoors in calm conditions, and made of lightweight flexible foam to withstand the occasional heavy landing. The F22 Raptor incorporates a powerful lithium polymer battery and will fly for up to ten minutes, whilst recharging direct from the transmitter in less than half an hour. The X-Twin aeroplanes are available on 27MHz bands A, B or C, to allow up to three different Silverlit models to be flown together. As colour and frequency varies, we are unable to guarantee which colour product or radio control band you will receive. Requires 6 x AA alkaline batteries (not included).

Its easy to operate and control through slow speed fly and incorporates many flying styles include hand take off, descend and spot landing, circling and gliding. The F22 has wings made of a special polyfoam material to help it withstand most crashes and the pack also contains a pair of spare propellers in case of breakages. The hand held transmitter contains a built in Li-Poly rechargeable battery that gives the user an extended flying time. Charging the plane couldn't be easier as it simply plugs into the transmitter, then just unplug when the charging indicator turns green. The transmitter also comes with a host of other functions such as a throttle control, band selection, a yaw control, power indicator and left and right trimmer.

This was bought for son's 9th birthday. Very glad I read the reviews first as was able to put some sticky tape over the areas where the wheels go, as they fall out very easily. If we had not done that we would have almost certainly lost them on the first flight/landing. Shame because there must be a better design that someone could come up with. Anyway, this is a totally brilliant toy and as long as you make sure you have the landing gear protected we think everyone should buy one! Another thing to mention which has also been said by another reviewer is that you do need plenty of space for this. It's not a garden toy, but a large open park toy. We nearly lost it as it went so high that it then glided very close to the fence with my son running after it to make sure he could keep it under the influence of the remote control before it flew over the edge. Finally, the charge is not too bad and we managed to get some good flights before it ran out. Then we charged it while we chatted for five minutes and there wqs enough to get another couple of decent flights. Buy this as long as you take into account the pace you will need and make sure you tape the landing gear so it doesn't fall out. When it is flying it's a brilliant toy and is going to give my boy lots of fun times I reckon...

This plane was amazing for the day i had it. Glides really well (quite surprising) Very durable had some rough crashes it survived. But on one flight the light wind caught it and it went really high but i though i could just get it back down (wrong) it just glided into thick woodland and the story ends there. TIP: You need quite a big area! It was that good it flew off and i never saw it again.
Overall good plane
