I picked one of these up from Radio Shack a few years ago for $20. I had so much fun for that $20. The plane has two engines and uses the engines for all controls. Landing gear is a joke, and the plane is sturdy enough to withstand belly landings. No trim tabs, elevators, or ailerons to break on this one!! My friends and I had so much fun with the F-22 that two went out and bought similar planes, also on blowout from the shack for a little bit more dough. Mine outlasted all of theirs 10 to 1, their wings broke, props broke, unresponsive controls caused bad crashes. I was still flying this plane for 4 months, until it went for a swim in the Pacific Ocean. This thing is indestructible, but not waterproof! Great little plane for the price I got it for, not sure if I would spend more, since there are far better planes now in the same price point.

The nose broke off on the first attempt at flight on soft ground. Very poorly made. A truly disappointing waste of money.

I had a great time with this little jet. I logged a lot of flights. One of the engines has gone bad and goes slower than the other and is nor flyable now. The cause of the engine failure was most likely hitting something. As I landed it in a few trees. I plan on buying another one soon. The problem I have found with many RC airplanes is getting parts for them especially propellers. If I had the more expensive type I can get parts but not for the cheaper models. If I could replace the motor on the Micro-fighter I would.
