The RAPTOR is unique radio controlled model jet designed by Innovative Jet Designs (IJD) that is intended for the beginner in mind. Many modelers out there want to get involved in the jet scene but have found cost to be a limiting factor.

The design of the RAPTOR is based on simple but cost effective engineering principals where conventional construction methods are used to build this great model. The model is built up as a box construction using standard sized balsa stock. Curved items such as the intake and rear tail cone are fabricated from thin sheet ply. So no fancy materials are required and basic building skills will achieve a superb flying aircraft. The wing is a conventional foam core, which is skinned with balsa sheet. The construction manual has useful tips on how to build this exciting model.
