This instruction manual is designed to guide you through the entire final assembly process of your new Wattage F-22
Raptor EP in the least amount of time possible. Along the way you'll learn how to properly assemble your new
airplane and also learn assembly tips that will help you in the future. We have listed some of our recommendations
below. Please read through them before going any further.
The F-22 Raptor EP is constructed of a combination of EPS and Closed Cell foam. It is very impor-
tant that you use no solvents, Cyanoacrylate (C/A) glue, or paint that can damage foam. If any of
these chemicals comes in contact with the foam parts, the parts will be destroyed and will not be
covered under warranty. Use only epoxy where glue is required. If you decide to paint the F-22
Raptor EP, use an acrylic paint that will not attack foam and always test on a scrap piece first.
✔
Please read through each step before starting as-
sembly. You should find the layout very complete and
simple. Our goal is to guide you through assembly
without any of the headaches and hassles you might
expect.
✔
There are check boxes next to each step. After you
complete a step, check off the box. This will help you
keep from losing your place.
✔
Cover your work table with brown paper or a soft
cloth, both to protect the table and to protect the indi-
vidual parts.
✔
Keep a couple of small bowls or jars handy to put
the small parts in after you open the accessory bags.
✔
We have included a glossary of terms beginning
on page # 22. Check it out if you come across a term
that is unfamiliar to you.
✔
We're all excited to get a new airplane in the air,
but take your time. This will ensure you build a straight,
strong and great flying airplane.

The following section describes our general recommendations to help you in deciding which types of accessories to
purchase for your new Wattage F-22 Raptor EP. We have tested all of these items with the airplane and found that these
products will offer the best in performance, reliability and economy.
OUR RECOMMENDATIONS
The F-22 Raptor EP will require a minimum 3 channel radio control system with two micro servos and a micro or mini
receiver. To save weight the transmitter should have elevon mixing capabilities. The radio system we recommend using
is the Hitec Focus 3 FM radio with a Hitec Micro 555 receiver and two HS-55 Micro servos. The Hitec Focus 3 AM
system with a Hitec HAS-3MB receiver will also work well. In this case though, you will need to purchase two after-
market micro servos - either Hitec HS-55 servos (P/N 759257) or Cirrus CS-10 servos (P/N 444052).
If you want to purchase a radio system that will be more upgradeable in the future, the four channel Hitec Flash 4XG
would be a good choice. This radio includes a Hitec Micro 555 receiver; however, you will need to purchase two after-
market micro servos - either Hitec HS-55 servos (P/N 759257) or Cirrus CS-10 servos (P/N 444052).
If you already have a standard sized radio system, you will need to purchase an after-market mini or micro receiver and
two micro servos. If you need to purchase these items we recommend using the Hitec Micro 555 receiver (P/N 759118)
and two Cirrus CS-10 servos (P/N 444052). If your radio does not feature elevon mixing, a separate elevon mixer will be
necessary. We recommend using the Wattage Elevon Mixer (P/N 128460).
