im pretty certain the torque you mention and the hacker A30-14L are pretty much identical. On 3s 2100 20C and a 14x7 prop, awesome power and about 8 mins of duration.

Is the leading edge straight like an edge 540? Pics look like they are, but others seem like it has a slight taper.

Thanks alot, am thinking of getting this plane!!

The leading edge is not straight but sweept back a bit for inherent flight stability.
this is a part of the changes made from the real airplane to make it fly as good as it flys.

That's the only way I do it, how about an A30 10XL with 2200 4 cell TP?

to be honest snap, you really dont need the extra power of the XL. If you have it lying about, go for it, but its unnecessary weight.

The 14L gives a great feel to the power, not over the top, but very smooth delivery right to the very end of the pack. After flying a 600w+ AJ extra the other day, ive decided there IS something called too much power! it becomes too twitchy with everything at the bottom of the stick.

As i said, if you got the motor lying about, stick it in and have a good laugh, if not, get the 14L

Ian, I am no expert when it comes to electric, I told Jas that I wanted the most bad ass power and I guess I got it, already have it so I will have to go with it, I made sure the motorbox is strong enough, thanks for the advice.

sounds good to me, just make sure the cams rolling for the first take of. looking forward to the vid

HI everyone,i am trying to build a full fuse foamy raven, but i cannot find any cross sections for it.
zerogravity, do you have any that you used for the model that you could post? thanks,
ryan

Awesome! I see I'm discovering this pretty late, but it's always nice to see another Raven being made! I guess I need to buy some bigger batteries and find a US distributor! I've forwarded this thread on to Wayne Handley as well.

Actually, the Raven had a slightly swept leading edge when it was first flying, it wasn't until it was retrofitted with the Edge wing that it had a straight leading edge. . .the paint scheme used here is also a somewhat earlier version of the Raven scheme, so really, you don't even need to state that you modified the design. . .you just based it on the earlier configuration of the real one!


Oh and Randy, I have a 3-view drawing for you (though this is with the edge wing):

can I buy one in europe? and where is it they sell them? got the big brother and now an electric setup for this beauty!
