Turbo Raven 1/3 Scale       

The Raven is a one-of-a-kind aircraft developed for ex-Navy fighter pilot and aerobatic competitor, Wayne Handley. The mid-wing aerobat was designed and configured for EXTREME aerobatics and is powered by a 330HP Lycoming. Handley participated in many airshows and is a three-time California Unlimited Aerobatic Champion title holder. He also held the World Record in inverted spins for a number of years.
The (never-ending) quest for more power centred on a P & W turboprop with 750 shaft horsepower. It was obvious that the original airframe would not be up to the stress imposed by this power plant, a new aircraft HAD to follow.

ENTER, THE TURBO RAVEN! First flown in March 1998, the racy "ORACLE" Turbo Raven, with its long nose and rather unusual (but none the less functional) wingtips, and a HUGE rudder with the same tip treatment has proved to be a real eye-opener for both the general public AND the aviation community.

Powered with engines starting at 60cc's (3.7 cu. in.) or a TURBOPROP(Yes, there is such a thing!!), our Turbo Raven ushers in a new dimension in powered aerobatics!
