Robinson R44 Raven II
Description:
Today I'm posting a Robinson R44 Raven II, a small transport helicopter. His license plate is PR-ETO, this helicopter became famous in 2021 in Brazil for making irregular panoramic flights. To turn on the propeller, just activate the AG1. AG2 turns on the lights. I am planning to build a Robinson R22 to complete the Robinson Aircraft Company helicopter roster.
Later on I will rework the R66 Turbine and remove the errors.
Wikipedia:
The Robinson R44 is a four-seat light helicopter produced by Robinson Helicopter Company since 1992. Based on the company's two-seat Robinson R22, the R44 features hydraulically assisted flight controls. It was first flown on 31 March 1990 and received FAA certification in December 1992, with the first delivery in February 1993.
The R44 has been the world's best-selling general aviation (GA) helicopter every year since 1999. It is one of the most-produced GA aircraft of the 21st century, with 5,941 deliveries from 2001 to 2020.
Development:
Designed during the 1980s by Frank Robinson and his staff of engineers, the R44 first flew on 31 March 1990. The R44 Astro was awarded an FAA Type Certificate in December 1992, with the first deliveries taking place in January 1993. The first R44 Newscopter featuring onboard electronic news gathering equipment was delivered in 1998. In January 2000, Robinson introduced the Raven with hydraulically assisted controls and adjustable pedals. In July 2002, Robinson introduced the Raven II featuring a more powerful, fuel-injected engine and wider blades, allowing a higher gross weight and improved altitude performance.

The R44 is an under-appreciated helicopter
