The FT-22 Speed Build Kit has been discontinued.  For a DIY jet build and flight experience without an EDF motor, see the kits for these models:  FT Alpha (FLT-1162), FT Bravo (FLT-1115), FT Charlie (FLT-1163), or the FT Mini F-22 Raptor (FLT-1139).  If you would like to scratch build this plane with Maker Foam (FLT-2104), the plans will remain available on the Flite Test Forum.    

Now manufactured with Maker Foam the Flite Test FT-22 is an even better fun flyer that beginners and advanced pilots can enjoy together. This 2 sheet design is the first of our new Simple Series, which uses the FT Elements Simple Firewall, instead of a power pod. Considering the sleek look of the FT22 and it's excessive elevon control surface throws, the FT22 is actually a very forgiving platform that we would even go as far to say that it would be a great first plane/trainer. This is an excellent introduction to bank and yank style flying. With a smaller motor and battery, this plane could easily be flown indoors in as small as a 2 court gymnasium and with a heavier set up it penetrates well enough to be flown in light to moderate wind.

Power Pack Compatibility:  
Flite Test Airplanes are all designed around the use of various "Power Packs" which include an inexpensive Motor, ESC, Servo, & accessory package to complete each aircraft!
