Formulated and flown by Wayne Handley at airshows across the United States throughout the 1990s, the full-scale Raven is a one-of-a-kind aircraft that elevated the standard for aerobatic performance and ingenuity. Bringing this pioneering spirit to the giant scale RC arena, the Flex Innovations Raven 180 expands what is capable with a 40% class aircraft. Designed by Jase “The Ace” Dussia, the Raven showcases a distinguished scale appearance while containing cutting edge aerodynamics. The Raven 180 marks a new range of flight capabilities! Not only does it integrate the floaty low/slow 3D stability of a traditional 40% aircraft and crisp/consistent IMAC performance and presentation, but it offers the XA capabilities previously only seen in the 35% size making it an exceptional choice for a truly ‘Do It All’ airframe.
The Raven has been designed around the all-new Desert Aircraft 180cc twin cylinder engine, while being developed and tested for a wide range of engines of 150-200cc size in both twin and four-cylinder applications. Both twin cylinder and four-cylinder setups can be installed without any modifications required. Featuring the Flex Innovations Speed-Lock system all around, field assembly is a breeze. ARF assembly raises the bar for giant scale aircraft with pre-hinged and sealed control surfaces, pre-installed and painted control horns, installed cockpit/dash, and much more! The Raven 180 showcases a uniquely gorgeous livery designed by Clint Sweet of CS Designs.
