Find an old Byron F-86. Those things are a ball to fly.

In my fair opinion, The F-22 must be easier to fly by far, just look at the wing area. I've seen many F-86's and they seem to fly great, but watch out for teh swept wing and visibility, it is very hard to determine the orientation of the model.

On the other side, the Raptor is probably a lot more expensive due to size and engine requirements. Yellow Aircraft has an F-22 for twin power, would not consider that one. I think Byron had one too. Somebody here at RCU was selling one F-22 (big!) with fan and retratcs for $600, already built. Search around the guy may still be out there.
