Description
The Robinson R44 Raven II and Clipper II helicopters are known for being reliable and easy to handle. They also perform well at different altitudes. This makes the R44 a good choice for personal use, business, and other jobs. The R44 Raven II has a Lycoming engine that uses fuel injection. This means it doesn't need a carburetor heater. It also has a 28-volt electrical system that helps it start in hot or cold weather and provides extra power for optional equipment. Clippers are R44s that have floats, which make them safer to fly over water. There are two types of floats: fixed floats and pop-out floats. Fixed floats stay inflated all the time and are good for flying over water regularly. Pop-out floats are for emergencies and inflate quickly when needed.
