Oh.. yeah.. I remember that... It is actually a little known plane called a "Rebel"... and I understand it was a bit of a maintanence nightmare...

If I remember the Raven is based off the Rebel 300 airframe. I don't think it had the Raven name untill the entire plane was redone. Fuse was built to specifications and wings changed to the Edge wing... The Edge wing is a great 3-d wing but got a bad name in IMAC due to its inability to easily stall for some maneuvers. It is a great plane but most copies will look like a repainted Extra or Edge due to similarities.
This is one we have on the thought boards for a high performance kit series in 35% and 42% sizes. It is an interesting mix to get right.

I have a FMG 3.3 Raven do you have any idea how the two compare.

I need a new set of landing gear as mine delaminated. I was thinking about a set of aluminum but I really like the gear you have on your Delro.

Is this the standard landing gear that comes with the kit?

Any chance I can get the dimensions from you to see how they compare?

Thanks very much
