Extreme Flight TURBO RAVEN EXP Assembly Manual page 3

Greetings and congratulations on your purchase of the Extreme Flight RC 69 inch Turbo
Raven EXP! This revolutionary new airframe designed by our good friend Cody Wojcik
is insanely capable, precise, and pure feeling on just a 6S power system. This aircraft is
based on the short-lived full scale Turbo Raven piloted by Wayne Handley, which was
initially based on the Giles G-202 with extensive use of composites, and was one of the only
full scale aerobatic planes with a greater than one to one thrust to weight ratio. It was
capable of full 3D flight including flying straight out of flat spins, torque rolls and stop
and start vertical up lines.
With carefully analyzed moments and areas and a CFD analyzed airfoil, the Turbo Raven
EXP was designed from the outset to perform best at an extremely low wing loading that
would make more traditional designs feel sloppy, floaty, and imprecise. Its narrow
fuselage reduces drag and keeps the ailerons in the prop blast for maximum control at
near zero airspeed. Knife-edge requires no mixing and pitch response is as smooth as a
pattern plane and as powerful as an Edge when you yank on the stick. Huge,
counterbalanced ailerons mean the roll rate is fast but extremely predictable and
consistent, and it makes rifle rolls easier than any other airplane on the market. The clean
design also makes the Turbo Raven shockingly comfortable in the wind!
Paired with modern super torque mini servos such as the MKS HV9767 or Savox SV-
1260, DualSky G1500.5 and 17x6 prop (the Torque 4016T-500 and 16x7 will also work
well), and a 6S 3700-4500 battery, the Turbo Raven offers unprecedented performance in
an extremely affordable and convenient package.
