Pilot-RC Raven 103″ – High-End 120cc Aerobatic and 3D Aircraft

The Pilot-RC Raven 103″ represents the latest generation of modern giant-scale aerobatic aircraft and is the result of an intensive development program that began in early 2025. The goal was to combine the best characteristics of Pilot-RC’s most successful platforms into a single high-performance 120cc airframe.

To achieve this, the Raven combines the lightweight, advanced wing design of the Extra 330SX with the outstanding tail authority and stability of the Extra NG V2. The result is an exceptionally well-balanced aerobatic aircraft offering remarkable precision, impressive agility, and outstanding 3D performance.

Throughout its development, the Raven was extensively flight-tested over multiple prototype generations and continuously refined. The result is an aircraft with precise control response, excellent tracking, and an exceptionally wide flight envelope—from precision aerobatics to aggressive XA and extreme 3D flying.

Outstanding Flight Performance

The Raven 103″ has been engineered to meet the highest demands for precision, agility, and versatility.

Its lightweight hybrid construction, optimized aerodynamics, and exceptionally rigid airframe provide neutral flight characteristics, outstanding directional stability, and highly precise control response. At the same time, the aircraft excels in slow-speed flight with exceptional control during high-alpha maneuvers and demanding 3D routines.

Whether performing smooth precision sequences, high-energy XA maneuvers, or spectacular freestyle routines, the Raven delivers a connected and confidence-inspiring flying experience.
