Raisbeck’s Aft Body Strakes reduce drag and increase climb
and cruise performance among other things. They also pro-
vide a high percentage of your cost back to the resale value
of your King Air.
Aft Body Strakes
Aft Body Strakes are designed to improve flight
characteristics and they do, but they also look really
cool! They are worth the investment, and a must-have
on any King Air.
Market Value Add: $20k - $25k
Installation New – Less than $30k; call Raisbeck
Dealer for a quote (requires paint).
Tip – Don’t get new exterior paint without adding
Strakes.
Wing Lockers
Raisbeck Wing Lockers aren’t cheap and are on the
lower end of value retention for Raisbeck’s products, but
they score on the charts of functionality. On the King
Air 90 they are critical because you need the storage;
in the King Air 300 / 350 they are great because you
typically have plenty of useful load.
Market Value Add: $40k - $60k
Installation New – Less than $90k; call a Raisbeck
Dealer for a quote (requires paint).
Tip – If you are shopping for a King Air and know you
want lockers, try to find one with them already installed.
Ram Air Recovery / Leading Edge
These are two options that make the list because
they are very important when combined with other
mods, but don’t stand alone as well. Both increase the
performance of the aircraft but add little in the way of
functionality regarding daily use.
Market Value Add: depends.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL: “I just want to let you know what a fine job you and your team did in
selling two of our B200 King Airs. You told me what to expect, you handled the transaction and
negotiation superbly, and your knowledge of tax law and contract negotiations was excellent. I
would highly recommend you and your company to anyone looking to buy or sell a King Air.
