Due to an overwhelming interest and demand for a fixed gear option, Ravin Aircraft would like  to introduce you to the Ravin 300. The 300 model is essentially the same as our 500 model but with a fixed gear. To get a better idea of what comes in the kit please refer to our Ravin 500 kit contents page here At one customer's request we modified some of the primary features of the 500 to suit his needs. The primary modifications were basically a fixed pitch, fixed gear, reduced fuel tanks, and a smaller engine (O-360 Lycoming). Please see the performance chart below to compare these options with the 500 model's atandard options.    Ravin 300 Ravin 500 Aircraft Type: 4-Seat cruiser, conventional 4-Seat cruiser, conventional Wing span: 34' 2" 10.40 m (34 ft 2 in) Wing Area: 157 sq. ft. 14.6 sq m (157 sq ft) Empty Weight: 1870 lbs 850 kg (1870 lbs) Max take-off Weight: 3564 lbs 1620 kg (3564 lb) Aircraft Length: 24' 4" 7.42 m (24 ft 4 ins) Engine: O-360 200-220hp Lycoming IO540 (194 kW, 260 hp) Fuel Capacity: 64 US gal 160 US gal integral wing tanks Max power loading: 13.0 ft hp 8.35 kg/sq m (22.7 lbs/hp) Max wing loading: 22.7 lbs/sq ft 111 kg/sq m (22.7 lbs/sq ft) Max level speed (sea level ISA): 150 kts 210 kts (242 mph) IAS Cruise speed (75% power): 140 kts 185 kts (213 mph) IAS Optimum cruise (75%@ 6500 ft):   196 kts (226 mph) TAS Stall speed clean @ max weight: 55 kts IAS 64 kts IAS (75 mph) IAS Stall speed with flaps & gear extended: 52 kts IAS 56 kts IAS (64 mph) IAS Fuel consumption @ 75% power: 9 US gal/hr 14.1 US gal/hr Range with 10% fuel reserve: 900 nm  2000 naut miles (2300 stat miles) Options for the 300 model vary according to your specific needs.
