power pod logo

power pod photoEquip your sailplane for powered launches!

  • The Power Pod works well on most sailplanes up to 2 meters

  • Features an outer shell molded of lightweight ABS plastic, and a inner frame made of interlocking lite ply for easy assembly

Available in two versions:

  • With a Great Planes Thrustmaster 550 electric motor included

  • Power Pod only, for those who prefer to install an .049 glow engine

The Power Pod is perfect in many situations:

  • At flying fields where there's not enough room for a Hi-Start

  • To enable easy hand-launches without having to lug around a Hi-Start

  • In allowing you to progress into powered flight without having to "dedicate" your plane to electric or gas power

All hardware is included for three types of mounting:

  • Rubber band mounting

  • Spar mounting

  • Clamp mounting

  • Little modification to the sailplane itself is required for mounting
