This is a building guide for Pika glider by SoarKraft with the Power Pod Option. Down load and print the parts. Add the other easy to source parts and build a fun fly-able plane.
This model can also be build with different tail configurations: Cross-Tail, T-Tail and Rudder.
The airframe is a carbon reinforced for speed and rough terrain landing. The design is based on performance and F3F competition models of the past 30 years, but as a 3D print-able version. Flies like a molded airframe, but print your own as many times as you want...
This video shows how to build the fuselage with the power pod in PLA and uses a 4 servo wing. This is the heaviest configuration of this model and shows the performance it has. More videos with different / light weight materials, alternate motors, propellers, batteries etc. coming soon.

perfect work... 👍
I'm going to buy the print files immediately 😉 (my 20 years old Optima II hotliner is out of order)
Excellent. The receiver is sure a tight fit but it works fine. I need to get some smaller servos ordered.
I am going to try the 4 channel sbus with a GRX6... use the 4 sbus for the wing... then I can easily change wings with just one wire... we'll see how much of a pain it is, servo programing and digital servos required.
@@soarkraft It seems to be reasonably straightforward and its a really good idea to just put it in the wing.
hi, amazing work but I have a problem, in argentina I can only buy 3x1 carbon strip or 5x1 strip
Do you recommend cutting the 5x1 or using the 3x1 strip
thanks!!!
the 5mm would need some sanding to fit, and the 3mm would require care in part to part alignment. I would use the 3mm for the front wing spar and the flap / aileron spar, and sand 5mm for the tail. As you are gluing the wing together just make sure the leading edges is aligned at each joint.
Do you recommend The Emax 9051 tail servos for a non powered VTail build or ES08MDII?
The Emax ES09 is the closest match for the 9g servo, the size used in the slope nose radio tray. The ES9051 is small and the ES08 is 1mm taller above the mounting flange but smaller overall, but both can be made to work. All three of these servos are about the same price and the weight does not matter in this area as balance weight is needed anyway. I like the ES09MD as it is fast, powerful and can take a hit. I have several of these that have survived multiple crashes.
KV is the velocity constant of the motor
or rpm/volt
Hi mate just a quick question my brother bought the stl for the roughgen v2 and we have started printing the wing section I weighed the right wing tip that has just finished printing and it weighs 54 gram but should weigh 35 grams I’m not shure which settings on cura I need to change sorry for the trouble,
Make sure "compensate wall overlaps" is checked.
The SoarKraft models are true 3D representation of the parts... not just surfaces or outer shells.
This allows for more complex walls and structures, and the setting are not exactly the same as other file makers.
Can you lock out your throttle and catch it by hand?
I have been trying... hit myself in the head once... but not with this plane. The LW-PLA version is much more "catchable".... videos coming.
Hi, What is maximum size of battery (dimension and weight) and capacity that can Power Pod supports ? I want to have as much as possible juice for motor, in case that I am flying on windy days. Thanks !
the max battery is 26mm x 34mm-ish x 75mm-ish.. I based it on this 2200mAh battery - amzn.to/3Bf5iPW
It fits without any mods and weight is 150g. It balances with the ESC in front and this battery pushed as far back towards the wing as possible. I also use a lighter weight folding prop combination to get the CG spot on. The 8 channel FrSky rx is a bit long and uses some of this space too, I end up using a different brand rx for a 2 servo tail build and this battery.
by itself this battery lasts way to long. I had a 25 minute fight and the battery was still ~ 1/2 charge, I was just tired of looking up. This was with a light weight build on a reasonally lifty day, but my neck could not handle looking up any more.
@@soarkraft I have switched from FrSky rx to ELRS rx there are version of 5, 6 and 7 Ch, they are small but powerfull.
Regarding battery, I have in that size some 2200 mAh 20C 3S batteries (146g) and also some 1300mAh 30C 3S batteries (107g) that I can use in both glider and power pod edition ...
What is about spinners and prop for power pod ? what size did you used 38 mm spinner and 9x6 prop or ?
Some LW scale gliders in the 80in size would be cool. ask-21 / grob twin stem s-10 asw28 with folding prop and retracts ???????????
Sure, there are some of those around already from others... I do have more models planed. Keep watching

Hello, I made the IGNOUS glider with 2 ent LW PLA servos. But I still find it a little heavy with its 500 grams in flying condition and therefore too fast for my level of piloting. For me the perfect glider would have been an MH32 profile with 2 servos, with a wingspan of 1.35 meters (so slightly longer) and above all a fuselage volume increased by 5 or 7 millimeters to be able to accommodate all the components more easily because it is very difficult to fit everything in often because of 2 or 3 millimeters missing. Otherwise it flies quickly and healthily. A short message from France. Thank you for designing your gliders. Will you consider less experienced pilots who like to fly slower?
I have a 2 servo MH32 coming soon, and a LW power pod that uses a smaller C2204 motor, and other light weight suggestions. 425g ready to fly weight, still fast at full throttle, but much slower to land.
And other wings and models coming...
Hi sir which plane would you recommend for noobs?
Depends on where you want to fly and how you want to fly.
There is a PC simulator called PicaSim (Free) that my son used to learn the basics, and then he was able to fly these gliders with little or no help. If you are flying is a big field with no trees, easy landing.... the Roughgen printed with the Polymaker Light Weight PLA (links on the website) with the two servo wing and the power pod is the easiest to build and fly and land. The optional new airfoil MH32 is also a good choice for the power pod, designed for the Polymaker material and powered flight. It is available only in a 4 servo version for now, so more complicated to build, but great performance. At 650g ready to fly it will fly straight up out of your hand, glides around nicely, and flaps help with slower landings.
