Sodium-ion batteries are highly safe, have no risk of explosion and fire, and are environmentally friendly, non-toxic and non-polluting. No memory effect - the battery can be charged in any state of discharge, giving you peace of mind. The working principle of sodium ion batteries is similar to that of lithium-ion batteries, which utilize the insertion and removal process of sodium ions between the positive and negative electrodes to achieve charging and discharging.
Specifications:
Nominal Voltage: 3.1V
Work Voltage Range:1.5V-4.1V
Continuous charge /Discharge current:10C
Operating Temperature:-30°-60°
Cycle Life:More than 4000 times (0.5C/0.5C @80% SOH)
Nominal capacity: 1500mAh
Dimension: 18mm(D)65mm Approx.
Weight: 38+- 10 g
Advantage of Sodium ion Battery
1. Long cycle life: The cycle is longer, compared with Lithium ion battery, can reach to 4000-4500 times.
2. Safety: Sodium-ion cells can be discharged to 0V for transport, avoiding thermal run-away hazards.
3. High Power: The cells have continuous discharge current 10C Peak discharge current.
4. Low temperature: Can be used in low temperature environments, with a discharge capacity of up to 85% at a temperature of -30 degrees.
5. Wild Voltage range: The working voltage range is 1.5V-4.1V.
6. Environmental abundance: Sodium is over 1000 times more abundant than lithium and more evenly distributed worldwide. So its price is more stable.
7. LOWER COST: Sodium precursors (such as Na2CO3) are far cheaper than the equivalent lithium compounds.
8. Charge on Li-Ion mode set voltage to maximum 3.9-4.1V

The compact layout and thin profile make mounting Talon 35 simple and stress-free in any setup.
Input Voltage: 2-6 Lipo Max Continuous Amperage: 35* BEC Voltage: 5.5v BEC Amperage: 5 Continuous, 7 Surge** Switching Rate 7,000 Hz Resistance 0.0065 Ohms Brake yes, programmable Reversible yes - change any two wires Size .088 x 1.93 x 0.33 in. Weight (w/wires) 0.98 oz. (27.8g) Universal connector
*RC HOBBY APPLICATION RATING: 55 amps for the duration of a single 4,000 mAh battery pack with the ESC in contact with a 5 mph airflow of 25C (77F) or cooler air. Controller temperature must never exceed 100C (212F). Exceeding current or temperature ratings may damage components and may shorten the life of the ESC. Always verify system current draw at full-throttle. Decrease load or increase airflow to decrease the ESC's operating temperature.
**Peak indicates amperage sustainable for most servos' current draw transients. Always confirm servo current draw before the first flight of the model.
A very capable aerobat - perfect for Small Field Flying!'.
When we started out to design a smaller, quick-to-build, and inexpensive kit, we found that we had the perfect starting point--our Javelin. Its great flying characteristics have made it one of our best-selling kits.
So, we found that by shrinking the original Javelin, simplifying the construction, and lightening parts where possible, what we ended up with is a fantastic flying model -- the Dart!
It's another in our Schoolyard series - a kit you can easily frame up in just a weekend, and once completed, enjoy at a local schoolyard or park.
All of this comes in a great looking design that is remarkably easy to build, thanks to our innovative design techniques and precision laser cut parts.
Although it only weighs just over a pound, ready-to-fly, the Dart's construction gives it surprising rigidity to handle most anything you can throw at it. Loops, rolls, inverted flight, snaps, spins, hammerheads, Cuban-8's, split-S, and more.
And after you're done tearing up the skies, throttle down to easily cruise around the field. Then when the time's right, setup for a nice, controlled landing.
Program in a transmitter flaperon mix, put the aileron servos into separate channels, and then enjoy even slower flights, shorter takeoffs, and slower landings!
Because of the interlocking design and high quality laser cutting of the parts, the Dart is a quick build. Not only does it build quick, but it also builds straight and true as all of the parts were designed to align properly with a minimum of fuss and alignment tools.
The wing is removable, giving access to inside the cabin area. From there, you have easy access to install most any brand of radio and control linkages.
Up-front, we've designed in a large hatch that covers the spacious battery compartment. This area will easily handle up to 1000mAh 2-3s packs.
Specifications:
Wingspan: 30 inches
Wing Area: 165 sq inches
Length (airframe only): 24.5 inches
Weight: 7-8 oz. framed; 17-20 oz. (rtf)
Radio: 4 ch. (5 w/flaperons)
Four 20+ in./oz. servos (Mini servos - similar to HS-5065MG)
Power:
100+ watt electric motor, 20+ amp ESC, 2-3s LiPo
Features of the Dart
Perfect for Small Field Flying
A low parts count and small size make this kit quick to build and easy to fly at schoolyards, ballfields, and parks.
Premium USA Hardware
Included in each Old School Model Works kit is a premium hardware package. We only source our hardware from brand-name, USA manufacturers to guarantee the best quality.
Dual Ailerons
Mounted underwing, these two pre-cut aileron hatches make it easy to install the aileron servos.
WEB-LOCK Construction
There's nothing else like it. Build our wings, straight and true - with a minimum amount of fuss.
Main gear
Included are the pre-bent main gear legs.
Front Hatch

The Wonder is best described as a very fast, go-where-you-point-it, turn-it-quick-or-it'll-be-gone kind of plane designed for hot-thumbed R/C pilots. With an .09 or a .10 size engine, the Wonder is actually a very nimble, aerobatic, smooth flying sport plane, but with a snarling .15 or .19 up front it's a hand- launched hot rod! Landings are no sweat thanks to the thick symmetrical airfoil and the light wing loading.
Specifications: Wingspan 37 1/2 sq.in. (952 mm) Wing Area 338 sq.in. (25 sq dm) Weight: 26 - 38 oz 737 - (1077 g) Wing Loading: 11.1 - 16.2 oz/sq ft (423 - 4943 g/sq m) Radio Required: 2-Channel (ail, ele) or 3-Channel (ail, ele, thr) Recommended Glow Engines .09 - .19 cubic inch (.58 - 1.23 cc) 2-Stroke
Special notes about electric from Dave: This model makes an excellent electric "muscle" model. Often overlooked since SIG does not offer an e-version or any electric power system setup info. It's easily adapted. Below are my suggestions for a range of practical to extreeme power systems.

Side By Side, 9.6V FDK (formerly Sanyo) 8-AA 2500 NIMH cells, fits Multiplex radios. "Twicell" (formerly Eneloop) low self discharge type which comes partially charged and is the same product as prior Twicell (Eneloop) cells. Same size as 700 and 1100 NiCad pack above. Less weight than 1400 NiCads above. Good cell where fast charging is not a needed but extra capacity is desirable. High capacity TX Battery, if you are sick of your TX running down. Yes, it is the same size as your current AA pack. A "AA" is a "AA". This is what your computer TX should have included!
9.6V Weight 312g / 11 oz.
Individual Cell Internal Impedance 20.0mΩ
All AA size cells over 1700mAh should not be fast charged ever! If you repeat this experiment, your on your own. I recommend only factory wall wart charging with units rated of 70mAh or less for these type cells. Break in (first forming charge) on 50mAh factory wall charger 700mAh-19.6 hours,1100-30.8 hours,1650-46.2 hours, 2500-70 hours. For 70mAh wall charger deduct 28% of time, for 100mAh wall charger deduct 50% of time. Forming charge (initial charge) on peak detection chargers is not recommended and voids warranty. Any peak or fast charger use on this pack voids warranty. Don't bother calling trying to get a warranty for failing to follow instructions. I've heard all the stories. They all end like this, "My battery does not cycle well now." and "It worked ok for a while but now it runs down fast shortly after charging". If you put any AA cell over 1700mAh capacity on your peak charger, it's bad. I've already made theses tests for you so you could avoid the pain. If you ruin one of these mega capacity TX packs, just order a new one and do better the second time.

Did you ever get to see a Wright Flyer fly? Did you ever dream that someday you'd get to wiggle the wings on a Wright machine? I'm betting during all those many months of testing, planning, designing our famous Wrights went to bed wondering what it would be like. Then they did it. Now, you can do it. This conversion kit combined with the parts from two GWS Slow Stick slope glider kits (no longer available, discontinued by GWS) will produce a sport scale 1905 Wright Flyer. This model from the side view is scale having all the struts the original had. Omitted are all the flying wires and control cables. All the fiddly bits included on a perfect scale model (that break every time you land one) are gone. My intention was to design a model you could fly 10 times in a day if you liked and not once or twice a year for special occasions as you'd probably choose to do with a pure scale model.

How does it work? If you look close you can see our unobtrusive elevator servo (we used a GWS Pico) on the canard support strut. This servo drives the top canard which in turn, drives the bottom canard through a simple transfer rod. The canards move up and down together on thier own individual pivots like the original 1905 flyer. The rudder servo is adhered to the bottom of the bottom wing with a Dubro Micro Push rod (1/32 wire in clear plastic tube) driving the rudder. The rudder moves like the original 1905, both together. Perhaps the most exciting feature is this model flys with real wing warping. The outside wing strut assembly has a servo hidden under the bottom wing driving a diagonal rod that appears to be a simple bracing rod in the scale location. Forget the Eindecker like wings, wouldn't it be gross if this model didn't turn by real wing warping? You're going to love this feature every time you show how it works.
How does it fly? I was amazed, after some initial hiccups working out the right setup. We've refined CG and throws until it flies more or less like you'd expect a trainer to fly. It is a bit draggy so you tend to fly with a middle throttle position most of the time and you will want to be comfortable flying with both hands as this design likes rudder inputs. However, you'll soon agree it flies like a trainer. Provided in the kit is the CG you need along with servo horn lengths, control throws and even exactly where to trim the canard for that first flight.
How does it build? This is not a normal kit, it's mostly nut and bolting with some foam trimming and fitting here and there a little gluing and some finishing (staining). If like me, your favorite ever childhood toy was an Erector set, you're about to feel young again! Now I know you hated those square nuts and slot head screws (I did) so we included all hex wrench driven button heads and ny-lock nuts. There is a surprising amount of aircraft ply in this kit. The main structure starts out as a 24"x24" section of 1/8" thick air ply (cuts slower on a laser) and it's packed tightly with many parts. Needless to say, there is a lot of laser cutting time here. It has the longest hardware list of any kit we've ever designed and the longest instruction set I've ever written including several drawings/templates. Ron, who built both of our in-house prototype models said he needs 3 work days to complete one. So, please plan enough time, it's very important to us that you actually finish it and get it flying. I want to hear the joy in your voice and see the pride on your face when you tell me about it at the next show.
Whats included? All the hardware needed that isn't already in the Slow Stick kits is included here. All fasteners are good quality allen head bolts with lock nuts. There are 88 washers and you can guess how many nuts and bolts.
What do you need to complete? Add 2 motors (max 2oz, 800-1200 KV), 2 stick type motor mounts, 2 ESC's, APC counter rotating prop set, electronics (2 each 6 gram servos, 2 each 20oz torque servos (we used HB-65's), and 1 each 3S battery 1800-2200mah. Extensions and Y's. For motors under 1000 kv, use 10-4.7 props, 1000-1200 kv use 10-3.8 props.

Side By Side, double stick, 7.2V FDK (formerly Sanyo) 6-AA 2500 NIMH cells, fits Multiplex radios. "Twicell" (formerly Eneloop) low self discharge type which comes partially charged and is the same product as prior Twicell (Eneloop) cells. Same size as 700 and 1100 NiCad pack above. Less weight than 1400 NiCads above. Good cell where fast charging is not a needed but extra capacity is desirable. High capacity TX Battery, if you are sick of your TX running down. Yes, it is the same size as your current AA pack. A "AA" is a "AA". This is what your computer TX should have included!
7.2V Weight 234g / 8.25 oz.
Individual Cell Internal Impedance 20.0mΩ
All AA size cells over 1700mAh should not be fast charged ever! If you repeat this experiment, your on your own. I recommend only factory wall wart charging with units rated of 70mAh or less for these type cells.
Break in (first forming charge) on 50mAh factory wall charger 700mAh-19.6 hours,1100-30.8 hours,1650-46.2 hours, 2500-70 hours. For 70mAh wall charger deduct 28% of time, for 100mAh wall charger deduct 50% of time. Forming charge (initial charge) on peak detection chargers is not recommended and voids warranty.
Any peak or fast charger use on this pack voids warranty. Don't bother calling trying to get a warranty for failing to follow instructions. I've heard all the stories. They all end like this, "My battery does not cycle well now." and "It worked ok for a while but now it runs down fast shortly after charging". If you put any AA cell over 1700mAh capacity on your peak charger, it's bad. I've already made theses tests for you so you could avoid the pain. If you ruin one of these mega capacity TX packs, just order a new one and do better the second time.
