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, 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.

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.

Standard shape is Flat (4 cells side by side), square is shown in photo. Stick packs may also be constructed, however they are not repairable if a cell is damaged.
Use only Lithium chargers with an A123/LithiumWerks mode limiting charge voltage to 3.6V per cell. An Astro Blinky for A123/LithiumWerks is highly recommended as a balancing aid for these cells.
Specification's: Weight of built 4S 2500 RX pack is 11.72oz/(332g). See A123/LithiumWerks 2500 Single Cells Above for all other available data.
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.

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.

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

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
4-color, peel-and-stick sticker sheet (pilot and instrument panel only)

Due to high demand, allow at least 2 weeks or more for shipment.
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.
Specifications:
Wingspan 63 in 1600 mm Wing Area 724 sq in / 46.71 sq dm Weight 4 - 4 1/4 lb 1814 - 1928g Wing Loading 12 - 13 oz/sq.ft. 3662 - 3967 g/sq-m Radio Required 4-Channel Recommended Engines .25 - .32 cubic in (4.1 - 5.2 cubic cm) 2-Stroke .20 - .26 cubic in (3.3 - 4.3 cubic cm) 4-stroke
Special notes about electric from Dave: This model makes an excellent electric conversion and is perhaps the most popular one of all time. Super light weight, large as or even larger than most 40 size trainers. The only lighter weight 40 size trainer on the market is the Radical RC Intern 66.

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

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
