Notes
-Yaws and rolls to left during takeoff and flight. I couldn't figure out how to fix it
-Has really smooth flight characteristics

Designed in 1957 as a low-cost, regional airliner, the Raven Corporation Model 660 succeeded on every point. Pilots enjoyed flying it, passengers enjoyed flying in it, and it was an easy to maintain airframe. It could seat 172 passengers and had a crew of four, including a pilot, a co-pilot, a navigator, and a radio operator. The Model 660-10 variant served with Compass Airways (seen here) from 1958 until the airline declared bankruptcy in 1977.

Controls
