I will have the Turbo Raven at the Pasadena show this weekend for those who are interested.

Also should have the new turbo prop from JD Enterprises to view.

Take Care

David.

Thanks for the kind words, Bob Francis deserves all the credit for this model. I am now manufacturing the kit and it is 3rd scale. Currently this plane is powered by a Mac. 85 but JD Enterprises have just finished his Turbo prop which is now available. I have been told by Tad at Golden West models that the new Turbo Prop produces a huge amount of thrust. 35 +lbs with a 24 10 prop. This was also only at 80% power. As far as Toledo I don't know that I will have the time or not to attend.


Feel Free to give me a call if you have any more questions

650-355-2052

Take Care.

David.

PS you can see more pictures of the Raven in my Gallery

I was kinda wondering the same thing.

If so, I wondoer if it will 3d with the GW turboprop in it - can you imagine the sound of a turbine/turboprop hovering right in your face 3" off the deck? ( !!! )

I like how the cylinder heads are "camoflaged" by making them turbine "exahust" stacks. Slick! Does that long nose cause any balance problems?

Status: offline 		Hey Guys,

Currently on the Mac 85 the raven will hover but just barely; it will not power out with great agility. If you want true 3D you will need to use a Desert aircraft 100 or equivalent engine. As far as the Turbo prop and 3D right now we are in the early stages of putting the power plant into the airframe. I personally think that we will need a constant speed prop or something similar to a idle up function on a helicopter to obtain the fast throttle response that is needed for true 3D flight.

But I cant wait to take the Raven to a jet meet and have the guys say ah you can't fly that today; this is a jet meet. and I will just start up the turbine and watch their jaws spring open

Anyway I hope to meet some of you in Pasadena this weekend.

I have to get back to gluing fiberglass to my fingers

Take Care

David.

PS. The plane weighs 24 lbs and no the long nose dose not cause any balance problems. Yes I do have videos but nothing posted on the net yet.
