Tube and Fabric Construction – Wings Fold for Trailering

The airframe uses steel tube with fabric covering and aluminium tube wing spars. The folding wing design means you don’t need a full-width hangar – many builders tow their Raven to the airfield on a custom trailer. Suitable for first-time aircraft builders with basic metalworking and fabric covering skills.
