Musketeer Power Pod (adapted from airboat model)
This page illustrates the sort of power pod that can be fitted to the Musketeer glider. The power pod used here was modified from an airboat and has the advantage of being relatively short (an APC 8x4 propeller was used on the prototype). Even with a short power pod care has to be taken during the launch. Smooth, progressive application of power is essential to avoid the model pitching down. I hope these images are of some use.
Happy power-assisted soaring!
