- Hello Mark, i really love that design. First of all i have to say i´m sorry for my english because i may put so mistakes when i try to put on words all thats on my mind, second if you ever think of sell on of this birds PLEASE send me an email because i have search for something like this for a long time. I remember when i see the video from Nitroplanes of the new composite Raven thik that finaly i have a good airframe that i could work with but once again Nitroplanes dont send it to Portugal, its a big box they say (do i told you that i have buy a 72" Edge 540 also from USA???? thats really a big box). Even if you think of selling a second hand of it i´m interested ok just send me an email.
