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).

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 wings are removable for storage/transport and for giving access to the extra large cabin area. From there you have easy access to install most any brand of radio and control linkages. However, the fully assembled model can fit in the trunk of most mid-sized cars.

Up-front, we've designed in a hatch that covers the battery/tank compartment. This area will easily handle 3s packs and 6 ounce tanks.

When we designed the GHOST, we envisioned a trainer that could do more than the typical boring trainer. The GHOST needed to offer you the opportunity to train, advance, and even have fun - all with the same airframe. And that's just what we've accomplished.

To start, the GHOST has been designed as an easy-to-build model with a wealth of laser-cut parts. Actually, most every part used in the GHOST's construction is already pre-cut for you out of hand-selected lite-ply and balsa woods.

The wing is a flat-bottomed airfoil which is a cinch to build using our exclusive laser-cut WEB-LOCK construction that not only gives you proper rib spacing, but also holds each rib at a true 90? to the building surface, without the need for additional tools.

The fuselage is also an easy build as we've engineered the fuselage sides with slots to lock in each former at the right spot - and angle. Also, we've integrated our Multi-Size Servo mounts into the fuselage sides which makes mounting the rudder, elevator, servos a breeze (and throttle - if using glow).

<

Power can come from either glow or electric powerplants and there's a large, magnetic, top hatch which gives you quick access to the batteries and/or fuel tank.

At first, the GHOST might appear to be just a Good Honest Old School Trainer. But as they say "Wait, there's more!".

Flaps are included - a first for an OSMW kit. These are quite effective and can slow the GHOST to a crawl in the air. Choose to install them during the initial build, or they can be added at any other time - even after you've flown the GHOST for a while!

The GHOST's tall and wide main gear makes taking off from paved or grass surfaces quite easy. Throttle up, and you'll find the GHOST takes to the air in a surprisingly short rollout.

At lower throttle settings, the GHOST is slow and stable in the air, making it easy for a new pilot to learn how to navigate the skies. Throttle up the GHOST a bit and you'll start to open up more capabilities, including some fun barnstorming. At even higher speeds, the GHOST can perform a surprising amount of aerobatics to wow the crowds.

And all of this with the same airframe that many would write off as "simply a trainer".

Even when the wind gets a bit gusty, the GHOST's smooth flying characteristics will give you the confidence you need. When it comes time to land, simply lower the throttle and gently glide down to the runway. Again, no surprises, which is just what you want in any design.

And after you've mastered flying the GHOST, add to it's capabilities by adding in one of our Fun Fly Bay kits (available separately). Once assembled, these kits will bolt up through the bottom of the GHOST's fuselage. Like the GHOSTS's flaps, these kits can be added (or swapped out) at any time - even after you've flown for a while. For more information on these kits, check out the right hand column.

Specifications:

Wingspan: 62 inches

Wing Area: 675 sq. inches

Length (airframe only): 42 inches

Weight: 4.5-6 pounds RTF

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.

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
