Note - this is not a blueprint/ flight accurate model of an F-22, nor is it intended or planned to be one. the true capabilities of the aircraft is classified and the engine itself wont represent the plane accurately anyway.

that out of the way, this is my work in progress, super low part interpretation of an F-22, and also my second attempt at a replica plane, complete with a very basic weapons bay and thrust vectoring, and coming in just over 100 parts.

there are a few issues that need to be ironed out, such as:

Primary:
-When TV is on the plane tends to lose control, possibly due to structural issues. the wings do bend a lot when under load. i may simplify the wings and detail with fuselage to get the proper shape.
Edit: tried this already and it doesnt seem to help stability :/ i might need further input on this. specifically, it likes to tip-stall at low speeds, between 350-600 ias kph
-The weapons bay needs to be upgraded. the plane wont take off properly when the bay is open, plus it looks ugly.

Secondary:
-The whole plane needs to be redone in order to match weight and scale of the real deal. simpleplanes favors designs that would be too small irl, and this plane fell in that trap as well.

Optional:
-simple cockpit. one with basic but useful instrumentation.

that said, i felt this plane was good enough to release in the meantime while i iron out these issues. if you notice any other issues by all means leave a comment and ill take a look at it.
