The Barracuda is designed around the current (2025) E2K club racing rules, but we also found that it makes a fantastic everyday sport plane with a wide flight envelope.
The overall design meets and exceeds the E2K sport racing specifications for wingspan, wing area, and various fuselage measurements. It's a grassroots, low-cost form of racing that puts the emphasis on the pilot - not on how much the pilot can spend.
Click here to download a copy of those rules and see you can use them to hold your own club races at your field.
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.
We kept the parts count low so you can build it quickly. Believe it or not, you can go from box to full-framed up in one weekend - with time to spare! Because of the interlocking design and high-quality laser cutting of the parts, not only does it build quickly, 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 the inside of 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 battery compartment. This area will easily handle 2200mAh 3s and 4s packs.
All framed up, the Barracuda weighs just under 12 ounces, and the Barracuda's construction gives it surprising rigidity to handle most anything you can throw at it.
For club racing, pop in a 4s, 2200mAh pack and tear up the sky. Challenge your club members to see who can get the best time.
But there's more to the Barracuda than just speed. It's a very capable aerobatic design as well. Loops, rolls, inverted flight, Cuban-8s, split-S, and more are all within its capabilities.
And after you're done tearing up the skies, throttle down to easily cruise around the field. Then when the time's right, set up for a nice, controlled landing. The Barracuda's efficient airfoil gives it a good glide ratio, which makes setting up for a landing less stressful than you might think.
When it comes time to land, by design, E2k racers are belly landed on grass. Because we designed the fuselage from a strong, lite ply base, it takes the worry out of damage to the Barracuda each time you touch down.
But I know what you're asking now. "What if I don't have a grass field to land on?" We also offer a skid pack for the Barracuda, which easily bolts on to each side of the fuselage. These replaceable skids allow you to land on rough and paved surfaces without damaging the Barracuda's fuselage. A pair of skids weighs just 11.4 grams, so they have zero impact on the C.G. or on the Barracuda's flight performance.

Slow Stick Canard made easy! This all-in-one unit will mount your horizontal stab and allow angle of attack adjustments to suit your special setups. Most canards should be set to between 3 and 5 degrees positive. Range of adjust ment is from 0 to 7 degrees positive. Elevator servo moves with the canard mounting surface so your elevator adjustment stays the same relative to your canard when you alter the angle of attack setting. Mount has built in nose gear block and nose gear steering servo mount. All holes are predrilled. Includes high quality socket head hardware needed to complete.
My personal Slow Stick Canard is a twin tractor. I have a 1000mm boom length and the CG is set at 1-1.25" in ffront of the main wing leading edge. I have never built one with a stock boom length (800mm) but I would start with the CG in the range of 0-.5" in front of the leading edge. The shorter the boom the further the CG comes back, the longer the further forward you would place it. I don't know where Bob Masterson's CG is set but I would thing it is similar to my 1000mm boom setup.

A very capable aerobat - perfect for Small Field Flying!'.
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.

Your Dad raved about it. So did your Uncle, your Grandpa, and most of the members in your club.
Now you can experience one for yourself.
Since the early 70's, more of these have been built and flown than most any other R/C design. It's an all-time favorite R/C trainer and sport design. It's fondly remembered because it's so easy to build and to gentle to fly.
Our version of the Fifty Six keeps all of the iconic look and great flying characteristics, and introduces new, simplified building features, as well as laser-cut precision - making 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 our 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. Overall, this balsa/ply airframe is uncomplicated, lightweight, easy to build, and features precision laser-cut parts that fit together quickly and accurately.
The wing is removable the old-school way - using rubber bands (which are included). At first, you might think this is a bit old-fashioned, but it's simply the perfect way to hold the Fifty Six's wing in place. What's more, doing it this way keeps it faithful to the original design and since the Fifty Six is also a trainer, it gives the wing that extra bit of movement needed to help avoid breakage during those not-so-perfect landings.
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 Fifty Six is a gentle and forgiving design that makes it the perfect trainer. 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 a bit and the Fifty Six is just at home as a barnstormer. Loop it. Roll it. Flip over for some inverted flight. Throw in some hammerhead turns for fun and you'll enjoy every minute of it.
For value and features in a great-flying, rugged airplane, your best bet is the OSMW Fifty-Six.

Based off a 1980's classic, originally offered by World Engines.
The Robinhood is a fun-scale version of the Curtiss Robin built back in the 1920's Originally marketed through World Engines, this model retains all the good, clean looks of the original and retains all the great flying characteristics that make a good sport airplane.
In the air, the Robinhood 25 is a true barnstormer. Don't mistake this for a 3-D hovering machine and resist the urge to overpower it. The Robinhood 25 is at it's best when cruising on a lazy afternoon or performing some gentle aerobatics. Also, no problems with mown-grass runway takeoffs and landings.
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).
The Robinhood can be powered with either an electric or glow powerplant. We've designed the fuselage with a built-in hatch so you have quick access to either your batteries or fuel tank.
Struts were a necessity on the full-scale Curtiss Robin, but are optional for the Robinhood 25. Instructions are included on how to implement them if you'd like to give your Robinhood 25 a touch of Old-School elegance.
