9.6V FDK (formerly Sanyo) 8-AA 2500 NIMH cells STYLUS / FUTABA G TX pack. "Twicell" (formerly Eneloop) low self discharge type which comes partially charged and is the same product as prior Eneloop cells. Same size as 700 and 1100 NiCad pack above. Less weight than 1400 NiCads above. Good cell where fast charging is not a needed but extra capacity is desirable. High capacity TX Battery, if you are sick of your TX running down. Yes, it is the same size as your current AA pack. A "AA" is a "AA". This is what your computer TX should have included!
9.6V Weight 312g / 11oz.
Individual Cell Internal Impedance 20.0mΩ
All AA size cells over 1700mAh should not be fast charged ever! If you repeat this experiment, your on your own. I recommend only factory wall wart charging with units rated of 70mAh or less for these type cells.
Break in (first forming charge) on 50mAh factory wall charger 700mAh-19.6 hours,1100-30.8 hours,1650-46.2 hours, 2500-70 hours. For 70mAh wall charger deduct 28% of time, for 100mAh wall charger deduct 50% of time. Forming charge (initial charge) on peak detection chargers is not recommended and voids warranty.
Any peak or fast charger use on this pack voids warranty. Don't bother calling trying to get a warranty for failing to follow instructions. I've heard all the stories. They all end like this, "My battery does not cycle well now." and "It worked ok for a while but now it runs down fast shortly after charging". If you put any AA cell over 1700mAh capacity on your peak charger, it's bad. I've already made theses tests for you so you could avoid the pain. If you ruin one of these mega capacity TX packs, just order a new one and do better the second time.
This is one of my favorite motors with many applications. I've used this motor for setups from converting 10 to 25 size models, sailplanes and larger park flier models.

Geared inrunners can have superior power and efficeincy over outrunners at very favorable weights. Additionally because you can change the gear ratio, many combinations can be acheived making one motor useful over a much wider range of models. Inrunners waste less energy in the form of heat because the windings (the copper) are much shorter thereby getting more of your batteries stored energy to the prop. Designed for low-weight, high efficiency and durability. The HG2015 series gear motors for models ranging generally from 8oz. to 30oz. Depending on gear ratio, battery and prop, this motor can replace anything from a 150 to a 480 type motor.

Notes from Dave: This is absolutely my favorite glow sport ship of all time. It's a classic kit. There was just nothing more exciting on trainer night than to have a graduated student come up with one of these for his 2nd or 3rd aircraft and ask me to test fly it. I dare say, I'd put a whole tank through the model and say, yes, it's still my all time favorite! The model is very pattern like for it's size, super smooth and yet retains all the personality of weekend sport ship. Friendly yet aerobatic and even aggressive if you set the throws for more spirited performance. They land like a dream, are utterly trustworth in any situation. You'll love it as I do.

Sodium-ion batteries are highly safe, have no risk of explosion and fire, and are environmentally friendly, non-toxic and non-polluting. No memory effect - the battery can be charged in any state of discharge, giving you peace of mind. The working principle of sodium ion batteries is similar to that of lithium-ion batteries, which utilize the insertion and removal process of sodium ions between the positive and negative electrodes to achieve charging and discharging. Example photos show 2-Cell Flat Packs, single cells and wire configuration options.
Single Cell Specifications:
Nominal Voltage: 3.1V
Work Voltage Range:1.5V-4.1V
Continuous charge /Discharge current:10C
Operating Temperature:-30°-60°
Cycle Life:More than 4000 times (0.5C/0.5C @80% SOH)
Nominal capacity: 1300mAh
Dimension: 18.3mm(D)65.3mm Approx.
Weight: 38+- 10 g
Advantage of Sodium ion Battery
1. Long cycle life: The cycle is longer, compared with Lithium ion battery, can reach to 4000-4500 times.
2. Safety: Sodium-ion cells can be discharged to 0V for transport, avoiding thermal run-away hazards.
3. High Power: The cells have continuous discharge current 10C Peak discharge current.
4. Low temperature: Can be used in low temperature environments, with a discharge capacity of up to 85% at a temperature of -30 degrees.
5. Wild Voltage range: The working voltage range is 1.5V-4.1V.
6. Environmental abundance: Sodium is over 1000 times more abundant than lithium and more evenly distributed worldwide. So its price is more stable.
7. LOWER COST: Sodium precursors (such as Na2CO3) are far cheaper than the equivalent lithium compounds.
8. Charge on Li-Ion mode set voltage to maximum 3.9-4.1V

In the full-scale aviation world, the Very Light Jet category (VLJ) is comprised of small business jets that seat four to eight people. They give private pilots the speed to effortlessly zip past an ordinary Cessna 172 on the way to a weekend fly-in. With a VLJ, the pilot would be finished eating that $100 hamburger before the 172 even enters the landing pattern.
The design of our Raven is inspired by Terry Dunn's VLJ design published years ago in Fly R/C magazine. Although Terry's original design was a simple, foam park-flyer, it had great lines reminiscent of the VLJs that Cirrus, Sonex and others now produce - or even possibly Mooney, if they had ventured into private jets back in the day.
We based the size of the Raven around a 64mm EDF - a power system that's inexpensive, readily available, and has plenty of power for this type of design. It's mounted right up-top, in the air flow channel of the fuselage. From there, we massaged and reworked Terry's design, adding landing gear and re-engineering the fuselage to have a removable wing section. A little tuck here, a little snip there, and the Raven was born.
The Raven's wing is a snap to build. It utilizes our unique WEB-LOCK wing construction to lock in critical alignment locations. The stressed balsa skin makes the panels very light and surprisingly rugged.
We've designed the Raven's fuselage to be self-aligning, with a light-weight internal structure for added strength. Surrounding this is the outer balsa skin, which is strong, light-weight, and twist-resistant. Overall, this balsa/ply airframe is uncomplicated, lightweight, easy to build, and features precision laser-cut parts that fit together quickly and accurately.
Oh, and let's not forget that V-Tail. It's the Raven's party piece - the touch that gives it that unique look - its swagger - its style.
The wing is removable for storage/transport and for giving access to the radio/servo area. From there, you have easy access to install the radio and ESC. What's more, the fully assembled model can fit in the trunk of most cars.
Up front, there's a large hatch, which gives quick access to the battery and nose-gear. The hatch's spring-loaded latch makes swapping in a fresh pack a breeze.
When it comes time to fly, the Raven will surprise you in a number of ways: First, is the takeoff roll - it's shorter than you might expect!
Second, the Raven's wide flight envelope. It's just as much at home cruising around the pattern at lower throttle settings as it is tearing up the skies at full-throttle. Next is the Raven's surprising aerobatic capabilities. Now you'll never confuse this for a pattern ship, but Raven can easily perform loops, rolls, 1/2 Cubans, split-S, inverted flight and more - and most without needing a dive to start.
Lastly is the controllability. Even at very low speeds, you'll always feel that you have control of the Raven. And that controllability is a welcoming feeling when it comes time to land smoothly, slowly, and right down the runway.

Please note:
We've done everything we can to make the Ravem a fun and easy to assemble kit. That being said, THIS IS NOT A BEGINNER KIT. If you've never built this type of balsa kit before, you will probably experience many challenges along the way. The manual is not written for beginners - it is assumed that the builder has the skills and techniques needed for this type of build.

*RC HOBBY APPLICATION RATING: 25 amps for the duration of a single 4,000 mAh battery pack with the ESC in contact with a 5 mph airflow of 25C (77F) or cooler air. Controller temperature must never exceed 100C (212F). Exceeding current or temperature ratings may damage components and may shorten the life of the ESC. Always verify system current draw at full-throttle. Decrease load or increase airflow to decrease the ESC's operating temperature.
**Peak indicates amperage sustainable for most servos' current draw transients. Always confirm servo current draw before the first flight of the model.
