I have an R13 from 2002 that I have been playing for 6 months, and mine has issues similar to those you mention. I plan on having it adjusted in a few months.
On mine, the F you mentioned is also flat, as is the E, and the throat tones. I recently started using a 65mm moennig, and that has helped greatly, and has not caused the rest of the instrument to be too sharp. I prefer the 66mm, and I think that I can have those flat notes adjusted to allow the 66mm to work for the entire instrument the throat notes should be an easy remedy, and the E and F should be OK to raise, because the 12th above is slightly low.
I do not experience a flat high D, but the D below was quite sharp, and the E above a little sharp-really more bright than sharp. This is something I always experience, and I think it is more me than the instrument. I remedy this by placing electric tape on the top of the tone holes on the 3rd finger hole, and under the f/c cup. The low G is just a tad low, but I find that is easy to sharpen, and the low A is right in tune, with the 12th above now being just a tad high, but easy to remedy with embouchure adjustment..
