PARA01 Craft-Air Para-Pod - Parachute Recovery Auxiliary Engine System For Gliders To Replace Tow-Line And Ground Winch Launchers - Bagged
Wood and Metal Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed
Still factory sealed. The Craft Air "Para-Pod" is an accessory for radio-controlled (RC) thermal gliders, designed in the mid-1970s. A gas engine is attached to the glider as an auxiliary power unit using the Para-Pod. During flight, the Para-Pod drops the engine with a parachute at a specific altitude. The glider then continues it's flight, free of the weight and drag of the engine. The system completely replaced tow-line or ground winch launches. This item is NOS (New Old Stock) from a long closed-down hobby shop that I purchased the contents of.
