We love building kits
and we know you'll love building our kits.

We've put in the extra work to make sure you'll have the greatest chance of success
the first time, and every time.

Just mentioning that someone should build their own kit will scare off a lot of modelers, but it shouldn't be that way. What if there was a series of kits that took a lot of the guesswork out of building? And what if those kits not only flew great, but brought back some of the great designs from years gone by?

That's what Old School Model Works is all about.

We're offering a laser-cut series of kits that you can not only build and fly successfully, but personalize them to your own taste. Cover and finish your kit like you want, rather than being stuck with "me-too" offerings that look exactly the same as the others at your local field.

Now that you know about us, click on the links below for more information on each of our laser-cut R/C kits.

Novice level kits - If you are new to aeromodeling, this is the category for you. Even if you've successfully flown before, if you've not built a kit, you need to start with something that is easy to build and guides you through steps in more detail. This level of kit is easy to build and easy to fly with forgiving tendencies in the air and can fly slower than others.

Fifty Six

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.

GHOST

An advanced trainer that's so much fun it's SPOOKY!

Intermediate level kits - After you've built your first kit, or are coming back to the hobby after a long time away, this could be the category for you. Kits in this level are still easy to build, but they have more capabilities in the air. They are less "trainer-like" and offer more aerobatic possibilities.

Dart

A very capable aerobat - perfect for Small Field Flying!

Javelin

An all-around classic that flies as great as it looks.

Lark

Trainer-like stability • Sport-Pattern performance • Quick and easy to build. What’s not to love?!

Mambo

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.

Sky Ranger 40

The Sky Ranger 40 is as much fun to build as it is to fly. 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.

Wayfarer

An easy-flying 2-meter glider for when you want to slow things down for a while.

Average level kits - This category will appeal to the majority of modelers who have been flying and have built several kits. Building these kits is not hard, but it is assumed that you have accumulated building skills with several previous builds. When flying kits at his level, it is assumed the pilot knows they are trading some of the slow-flying and forgiving tendencies of trainers for more aerobatic and faster capabilities.

Comet

Swept Back. Forward Thinking. Retro Goodness.

Our Comet captures all of the jet-age looks and excitement of the sleek 1950’s design it’s based on.

Raider (Pirate Stik)

Our Raider is not just another Stik. It’s a Stik with options!

Robinhood 25

Based off the original Robinhood 25 offered by World Engines back in the 1980's, this classic fun-scale design is quick to build in either a 3 or 4 channel model.

Robinhood 80

The Robinhood 25's bigger brother, now better than ever.

Sport Air 40

An easy-to-handle, quick-building, great-looking design that’s quite aerobatic.

Sunday Fighter (Bristol Spadport)

"I say old chap, let’s have a go!" Fast, but not too fast. Manueverable, but not tricky. A snap to build and surprisingly rugged compared to most.

Sunday Fighter (Fifty-One)

Get in quick. Punch Hard. Then Get Out!" Fast, but not too fast. Manueverable, but not tricky. A snap to build and easy to hand launch.

Sunday Fighter (Heinschmitt)

Aachtung! Come fight mit me!" Fast, but not too fast. Manueverable, but not tricky. A snap to build and surprisingly rugged compared to most.

Sunday Fighter (One-O Nine)

"Never fly straight or you’ll be a dead duck." Fast, but not too fast. Manueverable, but not tricky. A snap to build and easy to hand launch.

Advanced level kits - Similar to the Average category, this level assumes that the builder has several builds under their belt. These models are typically a bit faster than the Advance level.

Expert level kits - At this level, you need to be a seasoned builder. These kits are not hard to build, but could have a few steps that you've not encountered before. In the air, these models are typically designed for a specific type of flying - pylon racing, jets, precision pattern, etc.
