Our Raider is not just another Stik.  It’s a Stik with options!

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.
