See if you can track down a guy names Bob Francis in Aptos, California. He has produced kits over the years and is currently doing the Turbo Raven in Fiberglass. Saw the prototype last year at the Castle Giant Fly In.
He may have ads in High Flight or RC Reports. I don't have copies right now or I would look them up for you.
I'm sure someone out there knows how to contact Bob.

The all composite Turbo Raven was made by RNR SlipStream Aviation,they also manufactured Race planes GR-7 Etc. They used to have a website but I haven't seen it now for 6 mos.or so. There were a limited number of these made and givin the nature of the bird they have become even more scarce. I have one with a YS120FZ in the snout.
It was also the cover plane on one of the electrics magazines a few years ago.They definately were no cheap date as the Airframe was $799 and you could get decals or painted on graphics for $275,toss in a Hyde mount,true turnspinner and some Digital servos and Carbon landing gear and you have yourself a $2000.00 plane easy. I'll see If I can shrink down some pics and post them here.Beatiful plane with the "Skinned hinges"
