My Posts This: Topic Forum | In looking at the options I notice that 3 of them come as standard on my Raven (all except the metal fan which I ordered anyway). If those items are ordered it drives the price up BUT, I suspect they aren't really needed that much when you are starting out.
The only thing I'm not sure about is the "Raven cooling fan shroud". On my Raven the shround only comes to the top of the engine, doesn't go all the way around so air flow can go anywhere. With my Hawk Sport the head is encased by the shroud so air has to go over the whole head. I'm a bit concerned about over heating on my Raven but I haven't seen any reports on it and I know folks who fly them without a problem so maybe I'm just being a bit paranoid (that's 2 noids).
As someone else said, if I bang it into the ground too hard again I'll get the Hawk Pro instead of another Sport. I've now got 1 3/4 Hawk Sports, I keep thinking of getting the parts to make it 2 BUT, when I price it out, comes to over $100 so a new kit is far better value. Hopefully if I bang it in again it'll be tail first instead of nose first.
