The F-22 Raptor can either be built using
fixed flaps or operating flaps. The following

to position them depending on your flying

Setting the position of the fixed flaps
."
Step 1
Use medium grit sandpaper to roughen both sides
of the flap stay.
Step 2
Use a paper towel and rubbing alcohol to remove any grit
or oils from the flap stay.
Step 3
Test fit the flap stay in position in the wing. Note the
position of the holes in the stay. The hole closest to the
wing faces towards the leading edge of the wing. The hole
farthest from the wing faces the flap.
