Slow Stick Biplane made easy! Lots of us have wanted to try this but few have taken time to make all the special parts required. Now you don't have to make anything. Let's be clear, you only "thought" you had a "Slow Stick", you'll really have a "Slow" stick after doing this conversion. If you like backing up on a breezy day, you'll be moon-walking with 2/3 the breeze once you've doubled the wing area. A Biplane conversion also looks much bigger. What an imposing presence your new Bipe will have among the lesser endowed Slow Sticks at the next Fly-In you attend.
Like our mono-wing mounts above, you must choose the wing perches you want to match your desired wing dihedral. Our shop model uses 24 degree perches (as shown in the photo) and to me it feels just perfect. More dihedral gets you a more "active" roll function when you put in a rudder command. Conversion kit work just fine with stock dihedral (12 degrees) if you like but expect roll control to be soft. Choose the perch set that you think best matches the personality your going for in your new biplane.
Correct CG for this wing mount set is 5 3/8" back from leading edge of top wing. Note one strut set has an "F" etched in and this is the "Front" mount.
Many ideas are open for experiment and consideration. For instance many biplanes use a shorter bottom wing and at times the dihedral angle may differ slightly from top to bottom. Release your imagination and be creative.
The wing struts are an option listed on this page. Not required but aid in stiffening up your wing assembly and add a dash of "looks right" to your dog-fighter.
Wing riser spreaders (look like a letter H) are included with all the perch sets and are needed to complete the wing risers for all the mono-wing mounts. These parts are extra and discarded when you build the bipe setup.
There are no official instructions or diagrams. It only fits together one way. If the part fits, it goes there. Squeeze it all together fully, wick in thin CA from outside of square tube hole. The Y shaped perch sets (surface you mount the wing too) comes with little spreader pieces, looks like a fat letter I. These parts are for other wing mounts and discarded when building the Bipe setup. The front mount is the one that would mount the leading edges highest.
There are no other instructions than what is stated above, as it's way too simple for any more really. Read the above listing, it will give other info such as CG. Enjoy!
Photos of examples of Wing Mount Risers kit and Perch Dihedrals kit (sizes vary) for your reference.
Tired fussing with the tiny rubber band pegs on the stock GWS mount? Wishing you had more or less dihedral? Want to raise the wing up and make a true high wing out of it? Maybe you need to raise the wing and make room for your camera? How about a Low Wing Slow Stick? You've found the parts!
Generally, as you add dihedral and/or raise the wing up you get more yaw induced roll. This is to say your rudder will be more effective. The stock dihedral is 12 degrees. Maybe you're looking for a flatter wing layout to help make ailerons more effective? Also, if you have ailerons, you wish for the yaw to be more pure yaw and less roll. All these parts are here to aid in your experiments.
Incidentally, you'll have to bend your wing tubes for these higher dihedrals. This isn't too difficult if you have reasonable hand strength, insert carbon rods to aid and pull around a corner like the side corner of a pine 2x4.
Select Wing Mount Riser Lift first: -1 is the low wing set moving wing below the stick; 0 is near or like stock; actually my 0 starts just a fraction higher than factory mount; 1"; 2"; and 3" (refers to "inches" higher than the my 0 mount).
Next, select the Perch Dihedral...Note, 24 degrees recommended for low wing risers: 0 degrees (flat); 5 (less than stock); 12 (stock); 16; 20; 24; or 55 for a whacked out 3 channel rolling monster.
Need repair parts? Get 1/2 a wing mount set here. The riser is the vertical leg set (4 parts) that fix the distance from boom to wing mount surface. The Perch sets dihedral angle, is the mount surface, rubber band pegs, and the horizontal parts that fit between the risers to form a box to slip over the boom. SKU Number: RRCSSWMPARTS****
Warbird Main Gear Mount. Most any WWII Theme model you build will need the main gear mounted to the wing in order to look right. (Can you believe what I'm suggesting? ;-) ) Shown here used on our shop Wart Hog theme model.
Like many of our parts, this one may be reconfigured easly by simply flipping parts for tail dragger or tricycle configuration. Tricycle shown. 3/32 Music wire (Part# KS506) was bent to shape, bend any height you want. Wire may come down from inside or outside edge of mount to allow for a variety of gear widths depending on the look your going for. Suggest wheels collars Part # DUB138 to hold your wheels on.
The Slow Stick wings and glass fiber rods support both front and back where we have it banded on in the photo. Takes landing loads quite well. The look generated along with your likely use of low wing moutning set and aileron kit (both available in this category) will have everybody thinking you must be flying some new just released super model.
Ever want to setup your bird as a pusher? Maybe you have a front mounted camera system and wish to remove the prop from your videos and photos. Mount is adjustable for down thrust over a nice range making an otherwise tedious trim adjustment easy. This mount was designed to be used as the wing mount also. If you wish to use only the motor mount without wing mount, that works well also. In a recent project (and I expect most people will) we used it as the wing mount system as well. It gives you 1" of wing rise which is popular already. Choose only your dihedral angle perches below. Good quality socket head fasteners are included.
Designed for use with props up to 10" using normal motor mounts. Mounts that put the shaft of the motor close to the stick like the 10mm Tower Pro Motor Mounts and the 20mm motor/stick mount setups tend to move the motor closer limiting the prop diameter to 9". If the entire motor body is above the motor stick a 10" prop will fit.
Special Note: It has been observed that this mount may be used as a forward facing (tractor) motor mount also. For under-boom mounted forward facing camera work, it is often desirable to raise the motor up to get the prop arc out of the photograph. This mount facing forward on the nose accomplishes just that while still allowing you to adjust for proper down thrust angle.

An easy-to-handle, quick-building, great-looking design that's quite aerobatic.
The Sport Air 40 stands out as one of the more visually appealing aircraft in the 40-size market, thanks to its clean lines and striking resemblance to several full-scale light aircraft.
This excellent all-around sportster will attract many favorable comments at the flying field, not only because of its good looks, but also because of how great it flies.
As with every Old School Model Works kit, our Sport Air 40 is a build-it-yourself airframe, designed and laser-cut from high quality balsa wood and light ply.
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.
We have completely updated the airframe with laser-cut and self-aligning parts. The fuselage is built around a self-aligning, light-weight box for added strength. Surrounding this is the outer balsa skin, which is strong, light-weight, and twist-resistant even when performing high-stress maneuvers. The balsa/ply airframe makes the Sport Air 40 uncomplicated, lightweight, and easy-to-build.
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. Also the tray can be removed to give access for mounting an ESC or flight pack battery.
Another thing you'll notice is that the Sport Air 40 has a bit more ground clearance than a typical 40 sized design. It's longer landing gear give you the ability to easily fly from grass fields.
When it comes to aerobatics, the Sport Air 40 doesn't disappoint. While it may not be as precise as a dedicated pattern bird, it is incredibly forgiving and can easily perform a wide range of maneuvers. Even with the controls increased for aerobatics, landings are one of the Sport Air .40's strong suits, due to its excellent low-speed stability. Our Old School Model Work's Sport Air 40 is a Vintage R/C Society legal design for enjoying vintage fly-ins and contests. Specifications:
Wingspan: 58 inches
Wing Area: 638 sq. inches
Length (airframe only): 43.5 inches
Weight: 4.5-5.5 pounds RTF
Radio: 4 channel
4 40-70 in./oz. servos (Standard servos - similar to HS-311)

Fast, but not too fast. Maneuverable, agile and responsive - but not tricky. A snap to build - and with a fully sheeted airframe, surprisingly rugged compared to most.
Don't let the lack of landing gear scare you. Hand launching is easy because of the fuselage's light weight and strengthened design. In the air, it really looks the part without any exposed gear to detract from it's clean lines. Bringing the Fifty-One in for a belly landing on grass is just as easy.
You should see them take evasive maneuvers in Dog Fighting. Evade with snap rolls into spins, Immelmann turns and a loop.
OSM's Fifty-One kit is part of our Sunday Fighter lineup and just might be the most fun you've had in a long time.
Because of the interlocking design and high quality laser cutting of the parts, the Sunday Fighter is a quick build. Not only does it build quick, but it also builds straight and true as all of the parts are designed to align properly with a minimum of fuss and alignment tools.
The wing is removable for storage/transport and for giving access to the radio/servo area. From there you have easy access to install most any brand of radio and control linkages.
What's more, the fully assembled model can fit in the trunk of most cars.
Although mainly designed for electric power, you can also use a .25-sized glow engine as well. Glow engines are side mounted. Electric motors are mounted on the "extended" firewall to space the motor the proper distance forward. When assembled, you now have a blank canvas and can apply any number of color schemes, or make up your own. In the air, the Fifty-One is a blast to fly. A simple hand-launch gets it airborne, then you can cruise quite easily and 1/2 power. Throttle up for loops, eights, snaps, spins, hammerhead turnaounds - or maybe a screaming low-level pass, right down the runway. When you're ready to land, simply throttle back and gently bring the Fifty-One in for a belly landing on the grass.
This is just one design in our growing Sunday Fighter series. Specifications: Wingspan: 44.5 inches Wing Area: 330 sq inches Length (airframe only): 39 inches Weight: 3 - 3.5 pounds Radio: 4 channel system Power: o Glow (.25 engine) o Electric (350+ watt, 60 amp ESC, 3-4s LiPo)
Features: 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 under the lower wing, 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. Battery compartment Perfectly sized to take 3-4s 2200 lipo packs, plus an ESC. Open design makes batteries easy to swap out, and keeps the components cool. Under-Fuse Air Scoop Just like the full-scale, our Fifty-One has a scoop under the fuselage. It's held in place by the wing bolts. Fly with or without it - your choice.
Additional items needed to complete this Sunday Fighter kit: o Propeller o Engine/Motor mount & mounting hardware o 4-5 mini servos depending on setup: 4 flight controls, 1 for throttle if glow o "Y" servo harness (for ailerons) o Pushrods (two 6" for ailerons, one 10" for throttle if glow powered, two flexible 26" for elevator & rudder) o Clevises for the pushrods (8 if electric, 10 if glow). o 1-1/2 - 2 rolls of covering o 3" spinner

The stock battery mount for the slow stick is a little finicky to use. We believe it was made originally for 350 NiCads. Our mount fixes several issues. First, it has plenty of surface area if you like to use mounting Velcro. It is slotted and includes Velcro tie straps. It will retain these tie straps when the battery is not in place so no worries about them getting lost. Second, there are multiple places to easily hook on rubber bands. Any way you like to mount your battery is accommodated well with this mount.
Our standard size mount will hold most any pack around 1350mah or less in capacity in the normal short profile. Any pack 3.5" long (88mm) or less fits nicely.
Mount stands off slightly from the fuse boom so it may be positioned to overlap our wing mounts, main gear mounts even the motor mount if you like a forward location better. We have used this mount to suspend the battery above the boom also. It could also be used for "side" mounting if you need to balance against a camera or other onboard device that is off center.

In 1969 Hazel Sig, Then President of Sig Mfg. Co., rebuilt a standard 1941 Piper J-3 Cub for airshow flying. To increase the plane's aerobatic performance, 40 inches were clipped off each wing panel and the engine was reworked for greater horsepower. The result is a highly aerobatic Cub that is a real joy to fly! Smooth aileron rolls, snap rolls, immelmann turns, and many other rolling maneuvers which are difficult in a standard wing J-3, are easy with the Clipped Wing Cub. This 1/6-scale model inherits all of the delightful flight characteristics of Hazel's full-scale Clipped Wing Cub.

Yup, they've gone and done it. OSMW now has a biplane kit. Actually, they're gonna have two, but more on that later.
This is the first of our Sunday Fighters. The original Sunday Fighters were the brainchild of Ken Willard back in the early 1970's. His were small, .049 powered 3-channel models and proved quite popular. Now, we've taken this idea, enlarged, and re-engineered them to make them as much fun to build as they are to fly. There's a bit of Bristol, and maybe some Spad, and for good measure you might detect some Nieuport. So we refer to this one as the Bristol Spadport.
Fast, but not too fast. Maneuverable, but not tricky. A snap to build and surprisingly rugged compared to most. You should see them take evasive maneuvers in Dog Fighting. Evade with snap rolls into spins, Immelmann turns and a loop. OSMW's radio-controlled Sunday Fighter airplane kits just might be the most fun you've had in a long time.
Whether you choose to power your Sunday with electric or glow power, we've got you covered. Glow engines can be mounted side, inverted or even upright with a little modification. Electric motors can be mounted using the included Motor Box which will help space your motor to the proper distance.
Go true "old-school" with 3 channel control, or opt for functional ailerons (4 channel).

An 8 pack of Neo Super Magnet Discs. Size: 3/16" Dia. x 1/16" Thick. Same magnets used in our Radical RC kits to hold hatches, wing latches and wings in some cases. Great for creative mounting of many things, even canopy's. The screw and rubber band were invented a long time ago. Eliminate the old time "think" of many of today's models and go fastener-less wherever you can. Lightly scuff the surface of the magnet where it's to be glued and use epoxy as your adhesive. CA is not recommended as it tends to let go of the magnet after a short time. As an extra bonus your new magnets come in a handly reusable container. You can link/snap them together to form your own sorter bin for small parts.
The DU-BRO Nylon Wing Bolts are a simple, safe, and dependable way to secure the wings on your RC airplane. Designed for reliability and ease of use, these lightweight yet strong bolts help ensure your wings stay firmly in place during takeoffs, landings, and aerobatic maneuvers.
One of the standout features of these wing bolts is their dual-tool design. Each bolt features an outside hex head that fits your standard glow-plug or prop nut wrench, plus an inside socket designed for a standard Allen wrench. This gives you two secure, no-slip ways to tighten or remove the bolts--ideal for quick field assembly or adjustments at the workbench.
For larger models or aircraft requiring extra reach, the 3" Wing Bolts XL provide additional length for deeper mounting locations. These bolts also feature a large 0.5" diameter head that can be tightened using a Phillips or slotted screwdriver, offering even more flexibility and convenience.
Made from durable nylon, the bolts are fuel-resistant, lightweight, and designed to absorb vibration without backing out. They are also safer than metal bolts, helping to protect your airframe during hard landings or wing stress.
Each package includes 4 high-quality wing bolts, giving you a complete set for your aircraft or spares for your field box.
Proudly Made in the USA, DU-BRO Nylon Wing Bolts are an excellent upgrade for sport models, trainers, scale aircraft, and any plane that requires reliable, easy-to-handle wing mounting hardware.

Notes from Dave: This is absolutely my favorite glow sport ship of all time. It's a classic kit. There was just nothing more exciting on trainer night than to have a graduated student come up with one of these for his 2nd or 3rd aircraft and ask me to test fly it. I dare say, I'd put a whole tank through the model and say, yes, it's still my all time favorite! The model is very pattern like for it's size, super smooth and yet retains all the personality of weekend sport ship. Friendly yet aerobatic and even aggressive if you set the throws for more spirited performance. They land like a dream, are utterly trustworth in any situation. You'll love it as I do.

Our Comet captures all of the jet-age looks and excitement of the sleek 1950's design it's based on. With the included jigs, this delta wing can easily be built by those with experience in constructing built-up kits. Please note that this is NOT a beginner's kit - it requires building and flying experience to be successful.
Flying the Comet is a blast. It's not overly quick and has pleasing flight characteristics that make it fun to fly. Even at low speeds it is well behaved and has no surprising tendencies. The Comet can be powered with either an electric or glow powerplant. We've designed the fuselage with built-in hatches so you have quick access to either your batteries, fuel tank & radio system.

A 6 pack of Neo Super Magnet Discs. Size: 1/4" Dia. x 1/16" Thick. Same magnets used in our Radical RC kits to hold hatches, wing latches and wings in some cases. Great for creative mounting of many things, even canopy's. The screw and rubber band were invented a long time ago. Eliminate the old time "think" of many of today's models and go fastener-less wherever you can. Lightly scuff the surface of the magnet where it's to be glued and use epoxy as your adhesive. CA is not recommended as it tends to let go of the magnet after a short time. As an extra bonus your new magnets come in a handly reusable container. You can link/snap them together to form your own sorter bin for small parts.
Use to offset a second boom from your main boom. Imgaine a Schiender cup racer but rather than a float centered under the fuse, we're adding a second boom. Original intention is to locate a second boom below your main boom to hold landing gear, battery and camera mount for FPV experimenters. In this way (with other parts available separately) Can be used to configure Slow Stick for single tractor motor with camera position in front of prop if you like.
Other uses are possible, perhaps you want to put a boom up above your wing to hold motor or camera above prop. Use your imagination with this special kit.
On model in photo parts are colored black with permanent marker. Made from laser cut 3/32 Aircraft Plywood. This kit offsets second boom with 4 3/8" gap.

This Kit allows a "do-it-yourselfer" to build your own custom switch and LED accessory for SwitchGlo Pro. The Push-Button is a secondary glow trigger while on the ground and the LED is for visual confirmation that your glow-plug is infact glowing. Highly recommended for the Scale-Modeler who wants an On-Board Glow Indicator while in flight, but also keep the most realistic look without having unnecessary cut-outs in the body of the aircraft. Now you have the freedom to mount an extra LED and Pushbutton anywhere on your craft.
