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

The heart of this beautiful airplane is it's superior wing design! The light, strong, built-up balsa structure incorporates built-in wingtip washout for superior stability and control. Even expert pattern fliers are impressed with the Kavalier's smooth, responsive flying ability. Make perfectly coordinated, in-the-groove turns. Fly through any aerobatic maneuver with rock solid precision. Flare out for slow, main gear only landings with no tendency to stall or snap roll. Highly recommended as a student pilot's second model! Balsa fuse, tail and wing with built in washout. Build it bolt on or rubber band mount wing with semi-symmetrical airfoil. Steerable nose gear, pre-bent aluminum landing gear and rugged plastic cowling and canopy included as are glow engine mount, full size plans and photo illustrated instruction book. Specifications:

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.

This compact controller can keep it's cool even during the most extreme 3D maneuvers. Talon 25 is intended for use in most 400-size helicopter setups running up to 6S LiPo or your favorite 3D foamy that pulls up to 25 amps. Despite it's size, it boasts an impressive 8 amp peak/3 amp continuous BEC, keeping even the most draining servos at ease. Talon 25 also offers Castle's industry-leading helicopter functions, not to mention easy programming using the Castle Link USB adapter (coupon for free Castle Link included). Talon 25 tips the scales at a mere 18 grams!
Notes from Dave: This is a world beater ESC. Now we can run high voltages in our smaller models with a small tight ESC from a quality manufacturer. I'm very excited to put one of these in my 5S, 16 ounce Stick 400. Sweet!

*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.
Fast when you want it to be, slow when you need it to be, and always stylin'.
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.

Additional items needed to complete the Raven kit:
64mm EDF Power Unit (ESC, battery)
Radio system with 5 servos (we used mini-sized servos in our prototypes)
Pushrods: 6" pushrods for the ailerons and v-tail, 8-10" for the nose gear
Clevises for the pushrods
Servo extensions: four 12" for the control surface servos
Y-harness for nose gear servo
Wheels: one 1.5-2" (nose), two 2" (mains)
Covering (typically 2 rolls will work, depending on the color scheme)
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.
