Anyone using a 2.5 ? ( I see a couple of them now that I took a closer look ! ) How are those exhausts holding up ?

How are your machines selling over there ?

Are you making all the parts ?

I always wanted an RAF !
 
Hi

Hi

We only use 2.5's
the RAF is the most popular gyro in SA.
Exhausts are 100%
 
This is very cool, love seeing the RAF's in action. And yes, the new decal is nice.

What is this, by the red arrows?

What is the range on how many gallons of fuel? Do you have any video?

23 usable gallons of fuel. Operations and Performance Manual says 2.5 burns 6.5 g/hr at 75% power (about 3 hours). The 2.2 is 5.5 g/hr (3.7 hours). Gotta come down for a piss before then anyway!

My signature below has a lot of videos of the RAF or you can search Eben's channel on YouTube (RAFSA).
 
Actually, they have updated the numbers. Those numbers were from my manual about 5 years ago. Here are the new specs they have released: RAF 2000 Specs

Balancing bars

HI HBlearn2fly

Those little bars make the RAF go faster by 10 miles per hour. :)

It is balancing bars , I use them to balance the rotors while using the factory vibration analysis equipment.
