Trevor, Nice aircraft, lovely wing, make sure you keep a close eye on the pylons under the engine mounting bracket. These should be inspected for cracks...
Hi Trevor, I moved into the Raven world last year and tried looking for internet based info too for it but to no avail, that is except for the guys on here who...
Hello Henry, With most Ravens the swan nose-catch might be too tight to rig on the forward hangpoint hole, and unless the tips were set up very tight it would...
Hi Mark, hope alls well over your side, sounds about right with the 503, if I can remember now thats where I have mine set to. Do you think thats why medway...
Hello Henry (and quenas tortia is it?), Top o' the mornin' to you in Ireland from sunny East Sussex. That really describes the uniqueness of the Raven doen't...

Hello Henry, No brakes required: small fields are always bumpy with long grass so you stop quickly! But I have seen raven X's with brakes... not saying they...
