Raven

With the Raven  harness you can finally free yourself from the time consuming drive to launch. Take-off from practically any flat field, zoom up, soar around and enjoy the flight. In flight, pilot/ bar position is similar to that of normal free flying harness, which makes flying with engine on “or off” a much more pleasant experience . With regards to performance we have also an increased overall thrust which means lower engine rpm , less noise, vibration, and better fuel consumption when cruising. The Raven harness flexibility and frame geometry insure an easy upright position on both take off - and landing while proper balance and frame structure give stability.

Auxiliary throttle control, engine choke, propeller brake and engine kill switch are all easily accessible on our own design small shoulder console. In this position you can “see and operate” the controls easily, making for easy in flight operation. The Raven is the only harness offering this feature since three years time.

Harness material is top quality and finished in tough Cordura on top section for increased durability. Radio pocket, Camera pocket, and extra side storage container all come standard as well as a full length inside container which is just above the pilot. Side mounted parachute container also allows the pilot to be positioned closer to the base bar for better stability and control while “notably” increasing visibility and reducing flat plate area for less drag.

Engine
 The Raven uses the Radne 120 cc two stroke engine which is modified with our own exhaust system which can include our own design optional “serviceable” Carbon / Kevlar silencer system to reduce engine noise. The reduction system is a tooth HTD belt drive which gives absolute efficient power transfer with silent, clean / oil free operation . All reduction gears are CN machined from solid light-weight alloy aluminum for a tough dependable drive train.. Fuel tank is 5+ litres - good for two hours of relaxed power flying - and much more in soaring conditions.

Frame
Frame design is strong and functional made from 7000 series aluminum  tubing ergonomically designed, TIG welded, and cured with durable powder coated finish. The engine is mounted on 4 points with anti vibration rubbers which increase safety, strength, and reduces overall mechanical vibration transmission.

The Raven is available in 3 different sizes with special body sizes available on request. Available Colors are Red, Yellow, Autumn Orange, or Blue, with the Bottom section standard as black which is easier to keep clean.

A Complete Owners manual is available in German and English versions with Italian version in the works.
