The year was 1965. Phil Kraft, the man behind Kraft radios, needed a model that was quick and easy-to-build as a testbed for his radios. Little did he know he would design one of the most renowned models of all time - the Ugly Stik.

 

Our Raider is part of our new Pirate Stik line, and it’s based on Phil’s proven design - with the same dimensions, airfoil, and great flying characteristics.

 

We have completely updated the airframe with laser-cut and self-aligning parts - we even include a wing jig to help you easily build both wing halves.

The fuselage is built around a self-aligning, light-weight box for added strength. Surrounding this is the outer balsa skin, which is strong, light-weight, and twist-resistant even when performing high-stress maneuvers.

The balsa/ply airframe makes the Raider an uncomplicated, lightweight, and easy-to-build aerobat.

 

The wing is removable, giving access to the extra-large cabin area. From there, you have easy access to install most any brand of radio and control linkages. We’ve also designed in a large hatch that covers the spacious battery/tank compartment.

 

What’s more, you have options right out of the box.

Power it with Glow, Gas, or Electric.

Ailerons and elevator can have Straight or traditional Scalloped edges.

Make it a Tri-cycle or Tail-Dragger.

You can even incorporate Flaps for even slower flight.

 

The best way to describe the Raider in the air is wide-ranging. With low throws and power, it can easily be used as an intermediate trainer. With average throws and power, it becomes a great every-day sport airplane. And with higher power and throws, the Raider becomes a great fun-fly machine, even capable of some precision aerobatics in the hands of an experienced pilot.

 

Our Old School Model Work's Raider is a Senior Pattern Association and Vintage R/C Society legal design for vintage and retro pattern competitions.
