Capable of big sky flying or ball park low-n-slow! You can trust the Quick Wing in any flight condition. Any 12mm brushless motor system capable of turning a 3-4" prop at 10 watts or more will work well. She is sure to please the most speed hungry wing fanatic while still retaining very good slow speed handling characteristics with the 50XC brushed motor and this is my favorite setup here. Quick "3D Jigsaw Puzzle" assembly in only 1-2 hours. World class laser cutting and design make this one of the quickest and most enjoyable balsa models you will ever build. You'll be amazed at the wide speed envelope the Quick Wing 12mm has. It easily goes from high speed to ball park flying with no bad habits. I'm totally comfortable recommending this kit as a good 2nd or 3rd model as long as you keep the power system modest. Advanced pilots can take the power as far as they like. The model is clearly and advanced flying machine with such power.

Want a custom pack? See our custom pack listings, or email us at Sales@RadicalRC.com, we can special make any kind of pack you require!
Note: Photo shows sample Rx pack with double lead option.
For checking pack voltage between flights, our best advice currently is: Leave model on after flight, plug loaded volt meter directly into pack balance plug (charge port OK but not preferred) hold load engaged, switch model off. Allow pack to drain into meter for 5 seconds, take your reading. See my blog post Checking A123 RX Packs For Recharge Point for help in this area.
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. Example photos show 2-Cell Flat Packs, single cells and wire configuration options.
Single Cell 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

There's just not enough Oh's in SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTH.
Beautiful, isn't she?
And like all great ladies, her graceful ways are evident the moment she takes to the skies.
The Minuette is designed to mimic the look and feel of those wonderful Edwardian flying machines that were flown by those magnificent men.
Building the wing is a snap, as all of the ribs are laser-cut as part of our WEB-LOCK construction for proper alignment with minimum fuss.
If you want to go truly "old school", it can be built for simple 3-channel control (rudder, elevator, and throttle). For even more control, the included ailerons can be made fully functional (4-channel control).
Although power can come from glow or electric powerplants, a simple 3s electric setup is really what the Minuette is designed around. We've created the fuselage with a huge top hatch so you have quick access to batteries and a radio, and it also hides the wing bolts.
In the air, the Minuette is a simple, easy-to-fly cruising aircraft. Takeoffs are in just a few feet, even from grass runways. Once airborne, relax and gently glide her through the air through a series of low-passes, gentle turns, and even horizontal figure eights. With a 3200mAh battery, you can easily achieve 10+ minute flights with plenty of battery left for some touch-and-go's before landing.
The Minuette can even handle a bit of light wind without too much problem, and she is at her best taking off and landing into those gentle winds, if possible.
Please note that the Minuette is not designed (or stressed) for aerobatics. Also, the removable flying wires in the Accessory kit are decorative and not needed to fly - just to look great.
Specifications:
Wingspan: 67.5 inches
Wing Area: 630 sq. inches
Length (airframe only): 38 inches
Weight: 3.5-4 pounds RTF
Radio: 3 or 4 channel (Sub-Micro servos, similar to HS-5065MG)
Power:
Glow (.15-.25 glow)
Electric (250+ watt, 40+ amp ESC, 3S 3200+mAh LiPo)
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.
WEB-LOCK Construction
There's nothing else like it. Build our wings, straight and true - with a minimum amount of fuss.
Front hatch
This extra-large top hatch gives you plenty of room to access the battery. It also hides the wing-bolts and gives access to the radio compartment. It's rear lock makes it quick to remove and quick to lock the hatch place.
3 or 4 channels
To aileron, or not to aileron? Whatever your answer is, parts are included to build the wing either way.
Design your color scheme https://oldschoolmodels.com/images/minuette/osmw-minuette-color-scheme-blank.jpg
Additional items needed to complete the Minuette kit:
Propeller
Engine/Motor mount & mounting hardware
Radio system with 3 or 4 servos (we used Sub-Micro servos in our prototypes)
"Y" servo harness (for ailerons)
Pushrods (we recommend pull-pull for elevator and rudder, 6" pushrods for the ailerons)
Clevises for the pushrods
Wheels: two 3.5" vintage look tires
Covering (typically one 2-meter roll will work)
Optional Accessory Kit for a more "scale-like" look
Minuette Accessory Kit:
Although this optional accessory kit is not necessary for the Minuette to fly, it does add a bit of "scale-realism". The flying wires and pylons are removable for easy transport of the wing and fuselage. It includes:
Ready-to assemble 3D printed dummy motor (based on the Anzani "W" 3-cylinder). It is designed and printed by Innov8tive Designs, and meant to slip over your electric motor, mounting to the firewall
Pre-bent upper and lower flying-wire pylons
Anchors, removable flying wires, hooks, and shrink-tubing
Not shown:
Laser-cut profile pilot

The Sig Kadet LT-40 has become the R/C trainer of choice at many club fields. Not long after it's introduction, we started getting requests for a smaller version of the same airplane. So here it is - a compact version of the LT-40 - the new Sig Kadet LT-25. When price shopping this kit, be sure you understand our super low flat rate shipping means total cost to your door is probably the lowest on the planet.
"The R/C Trainer That's All Laser Cut", As you would expect, the new LT-25 inherits all the same gentle flying characteristics of the other legendary Sig Kadets. It has the same light wing loading, which allows it to fly slow enough to give the student pilot time to think and react. It has the same "hands off" stability on all axis. If the student pilot gets disorientated, simply let go of the sticks and the LT-25 will recover and return to level flight within seconds.
