flyable f-22 raptor

heres my scratch biult f-22 raptor. i enhanced the wing area and the height of the stabilizers to make it a more stable plane.
drawn with pen, colored with water color paint, then scanned on the computer to be able to make again, this little raptor is made sorely for flight. it's not completely scaled, and was purposely made to seem a little "cartoony" in appearance. but it looks good in some angles.

i find the flight of this raptor to be quite enjoyable, especially with outdoor flights. i used a combination of tissue and white glue to reinforce the nose. its almost as hard as a rock! and i added ballast to the center of gravity so it could get the best of flight performance.

i particularly like it's flight characteristics in light wind. it performs best and covers the greatest distance in a vertical climb, where it will reach the end of it's climax and gracefully turn withe the direction of the wind for a long, graceful, and enjoyable glide.

in my honest opinion, this is one of my most favorite 3d gliders i have. i have to measure the distance it covers, because its glide path when thrown vertically is already greater then the length of my house
