PLASTI-ZAP is a specialty CA adhesive developed for use on plastic and vinyl items. Most plastic modeling projects can be assembled with PLASTI-ZAP and very small amounts of ZIP KICKER. The special formula in PLASTI-ZAP allows it to screen out any mold release agents resulting in a permanent bond in 15 to 30 seconds. The joint can be filed and sanded in a minute or so, allowing extra fast assembly.
Helpful Hints:
Apply small drops of PLASTI-ZAP to one surface only then mate the parts. For large or long seams apply small drops 1/4 to 1/2 inches apart, one side only, along the entire seam, then join parts. Be careful to keep your fingers away from the glued joints until cured, this glue will bond your skin instantly to your model. For bonding chrome parts, scrape the chrome off of the bonding areas then apply the glue to one side only. If you want to use ZIP KICKER, apply very small amounts with a fine brush or toothpick. You do not need to apply kicker to the entire joint. For critical applications test sample joints for designed strength requirements.

Normally stocked in assorted colors. If you have preference, list first and second choice. Wire size is .062 (1/16"), puchasing an extra set of wheel collars is suggested.
WHILE SUPPLIES LAST, COLOR AVAILABILITY NOT GUARANTEED
We can hand make extensions and adapters to almost any specification. Choose from drop down menus your preferences. Generally we size these by measuring from the back of each connector. So the overall length will be greater by connector shell length. Twisted wire can be adjusted slightly in length by changing the number of twists. We try to get within about 1/2" of your spec. Please order long enough to compensate for minor variance.
Note: 3,6,12,18,24,36, & 40" (3,6,10" Micro Lite) are stock machine made sizes and are lower cost, find them in the connector category to fit your specific brand. Check there first to see if any stock sizes will meet your needs.
Micro Lite: This type of wire is used most commonly in applications with small servos (.5 oz weight or less usually) in park flyers, foamies, sailplanes, DLG's and other models with low servo loads. You can save a bunch of weight eliminting beefy stock wiring from these smaller models.
26 Gauge Standard: This wire is what you find in most new radio sets and on most mid size to full size standard torque 4 screw mountable servos. This ribbon wire size is a good wire choice for those types of servos (and smaller) if the runs are 24" or less. Good for smaller servos in long runs such as sailplane wings and similar. For example, great for your 60" Cub but use 22 gauge if your outfitting a larger Model.
22 Gauge Heavy Duty: Use for all larger models and anyplace a high torque or digital servo might be used. Use for standard torque servos if your runs are very long (over 24")
Finally it's easy to convert to a T tail. Complete with washer plates. Glue to your stab and horizontal or use 4-40 nylon bolt/nuts in the pre drilled holes. May also be used for mounting verticals to the ends of your stab. Works with any 4mm foam. If using with stock Slow Stick parts, trim the top of the vertical down until you have a flat spot long enough for this mount. Comes complete with washer plates to prevent bolt damage to surfaces.
Slow stick parts come in both 4 and 5 mm. 4mm is .157" or pretty close to 5/32". 5mm is a little over 3/16" at .197". Measure your parts before ordering. One photo shows used as base for vertical fin which we mounted to center of wing for our twin tractor canard model in the shop.

Jet-like looks and wide flight envelope make this design stand apart.
Had enough of the same old designs? Need a ship that is new and different? Look no further than our Polaris - unique, easy to build, and exciting to fly!
We've taken Bill Evans' original and brought it up-to-date.
Included are new, simplified building features as well as laser-cut precision and self-aligning parts to make this all-time favorite even better. For example, our exclusive Web-Lock construction makes building the wing panels a snap. Rather than the sheer webs being an afterthought, they are utilized during the build to properly space, position, and lock in each rib.
This type of design is commonly referred to as a Simitar. Though Simitars operate on the concept of a flying wing, they don't really look like a flying wing, nor do they appear to be conventional in nature. So, what makes them different?
First, no stall. Reduce power, gradually feed in up elevator, and as it slows down, the nose will automatically drop a bit, reducing the angle of attack; therefore, no stall. What makes this possible is the innovative ESA (Evans Simitar Airfoil) which is a semi-symmetrical reflexed design.
Next, the wide speed range. No matter how much power you put into a ship from the Simitar Series, it goes faster (no Dutch Roll). It also slows down to a crawl (the effect of no stall) and sets down like a hang glider.
Finally, a Simitar is directional in flight, in that it will remain in most any attitude it is set in. Once properly trimmed, point it in a direction, and rest assured, it will do as commanded.
Join the Simitar Squadron and become a Polaris pilot with a design that's very smooth-flying and graceful. Easy to build with pieces laser-cut from high-quality balsa and ply woods. When finished, the Polaris' typical Simitar characteristics give it no stall, a wide speed range, and it goes exactly where it's pointed. Our Polaris was independently reviewed by MBMrc. Check out their pre-flight video report.
And here's is MBMrc's flight video.

At last a easy way to mount your digital camera to your Slow Stick boom. Our Camera Mount is loaded with form & function. Platform is large enough to fit almost any hand held camera. 4.2" long, 3.95" wide. It is slotted for Velcro One-Wrap and has 5 rubber band pegs on each end. Plenty of room for adhesive backed Velcro also. Mount allows adjustment axially around the stick in over a 90 degree arc. By repositioning the mount on the different facets of the boom any position around its 360 degrees may be set.
Another nice feature is the camera platform does not have to be glued to the supports. If used in this way, rubber bands are required (you'll probably use some to secure most any camera anyway) to lock the mount plate in its supports. This way you can remove the camera without undoing it from the mount platform plate. You may want to remove the camera to lighten your ship up for play or maybe you wish to change to an alternate camera for a special shot. Extra mounting plates are available for this purpose.
Want to get the sunset shot of the city (or mountains) with the wingtip in photo? This mount will make it possible. Aerial Photography "high-eye-in-the-sky" fun can provide endless entertainment and has some potential for profit. The Slow Stick must be the most popular camera platform ever. Easily carries the extra weight of a camera and is great for limited access takeoff and landing areas.
Note, you have to devise your own mechanical or electronic trigger to snap the photo. Velcro One-Wrap and top quality hardware included.
Configure your Slow Stick any way that suits you. Tricycle gear setups may prove desirable to provide the best protection for your camera. Parts to accomplish this are available in this category.
Schools and Universities: Science & Engineering classes interested in hands-on projects can consider a class project to obtain a student produced aerial photo as a combined lesson in engineering and project management. The school, local public works projects or even locally topical subject could be considered as the "Mission". Perhaps an infrared camera is available that could be used to photograph a neighborhood or school facilities on a cold winter day. The ensuing analysis of heat losses present endless opportunities for ongoing student projects and direction. The mission could be to study water runoff and retention during the high precipitation season. The number of fresh, new and exiting project ideas is without end. Combining science/engineering and construction of a UAV project with a real tangible result is certain to keep your students interested and engaged. An enlarged photo to display or publish your success can serve well to motivate the next group of students. Let us know if we can assist your curriculum in any way.

Trainer-like stability. Sport-Pattern performance. Quick and easy to build. What's not to love?!
Designed as a first low-wing trainer over five decades ago the Lark is still a terrific, everyday sport plane. OSM's version of the Lark keeps all of the iconic looks and great flying characteristics of the original. Plus, because it combines docile flight characteristics, trainer-like stability and an aptitude for super-smooth, exciting aerobatics, the Lark is just what you need to step forward with your flying ability.
OSM's kit has been designed to keep building time to a minimum and introduces new, simplified building features as well as laser-cut precision and self-aligning parts to make this all-time favorite even better. Building the wing and stab are a snap as all of the ribs include tabs which allow you to quickly and precisely align them on your building board. Did we say stab ribs? Why yes we did, as we integrated the original airfoil shaped stab into this design as well. The fuselage is built around a self-aligning, light-weight box for added strength. Surrounding this is the outer balsa skin that is strong, light-weight and twist resistant. Importantly, this balsa/ply airframe is uncomplicated, lightweight, easy to build, and features precision laser-cut parts that fit together quickly and accurately.
Power can come from glow or electric powerplants. We've designed the fuselage with a magnetic top hatch so you have quick access to either your fuel tank or batteries.
In the air, the Lark is an aerobatic, yet forgiving design that makes it the perfect entry-level low wing airplane. It's also great for experienced pilots because it packs a fully aerobatic capable design into a small package that can fit in the trunk of many cars, completely assembled.
When flying at slower speeds, it's a great way to relax, shoot touch-n-goes and enjoy low passes down the runway. But throttle it up and the Lark is just at home as an entry-level sport-pattern ship. Loop it. Roll it. Thrown in some Cuban 8's and even some hammerhead turns for fun and you'll enjoy every minute of it. This Old School Model Work's Lark is a Vintage R/C Society legal design for enjoying vintage fly-ins and contests.
Features: Premium USA Hardware Included in each Old School Model Works kit is a premium hardware package. OSM only sources their hardware from brand-name, USA manufacturers to guarantee the best quality.
Interlocking Construction There's nothing else like it. OSM's interlocking construction allows you to assemble the entire airframe with a minimum amount of fuss.
Front hatch Securely held in place with magnets, this hatch gives you easy access to batteries or fuel.
Build as Glow or Electric power Power the Lark with either a glow or electric powerplant.
VRCS legal kit OSM's Lark is a Vintage R/C Society qualifying design making it eligible for vintage/retro events.

Now that you know how to fly, it's time to learn how to build.
The Mambo is different than any of our other kits in the fact that it's engineered from the get-go to be easy to build for the first time builder. Now don't confuse this with a trainer model, but rather it's aimed at modelers who are bored with their RTF trainer, or maybe those who have been flying for years and are looking to build a kit for the first time.
Using precision, laser-cut, interlocking parts along with our unique WEB-LOCK construction and built-in alignment jigs, the Mambo can be built straight and true - using a minimum parts count and a minimum amount of fuss.
Included in each Mambo kit are full-sized rolled plans, a printed construction manual, pre-bent main gear, and a premium hardware package from brand-name, USA manufacturers (DuBro, Sonic-Tronics, and others) to guarantee the best quality. Also included is a clear, pre-formed plastic canopy.
Power can be from either electric or glow. The fuselage has a large, built-in hatch, securely held in place with magnets giving you quick access to either your batteries or fuel tank.
Also, we've designed it to readily accept the powerplant, radio and other accessories from several popular RTF trainers, such as Horizon's Apprentice S® and 15e®. Simply remove their motor, ESC and radio from that kit and it an easily be used with our Mambo.
This all-around sport model's retro design looks great in the air and makes you look like an ace pilot. Loop it, roll it, spin it, snap it, and just have a great time flying it.
What's more is you can cover and finish your Mambo like you want, rather than being stuck with a "me-too" offering that look exactly the same as the others at your local field.
Whether you like gentle cruising, or prefer to tear up the sky, the Mambo's wide flight envelope makes it a blast to fly!
