Justin's Raven

[justin.schoeman]

That is Raven with an 'e', not Ravin with an 'i'.

I have bought a partially complete Carl Babst Raven, with HDS wings (short, tapered wings). My aim is to build it up as light as possible, and to fair everything as well as possible. Hoping (yeah, I know it is not very likely) to cruise at 130mph IAS on the AeroVee engine (direct drive). If I can't get that, I will invest a bit more and fit a redrive, and VP prop.

What you mean partially complete, that thing looks rerady to fly. Wow its going to be a nice machine enjoy the build.

Yeah, I know myself. If it takes more than a few months to complete, I never will finish it . So cheat, and buy it just about done.

Still quite a bit of work to do, but nothing extreme.

At the moment it is stashed in the basement parking at work. I am in the process of buying a house, and will move it there when I can. Until then, I am working on the interior, and trimmings, and will start with surface prep for painting.
