The Old School Model Works Comet captures all of the jet-age looks and excitement of the sleek 1950's design it's based on. It captures the look and feel of the 1950's swept wing jets without all the complication. 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 power-plant. Old School Model Works has designed the fuselage with built-in hatches so you have quick access to either your batteries, fuel tank & radio system.
With the included jigs, this delta wing can easily be built by those with experience in constructing built-up kits. Bending your own landing gear is hard. So that's why Old School Model Works include pre-bent main landing gear wire ready for you to assemble. Included with the gear is a premium hardware package sourced from from brand-name, USA manufacturers to guarantee the best quality. Rounding out the hardware package is the included, vacuum-formed canopy.
Old School Model Works engineered the Comet to give you the best chance of success. Each laser-cut part interlocks with the next for an accurate and secure joint. Each of our kits contains a set of rolled plans, never folded. They are full-size, highly detailed, and computer-drawn for accuracy. Also included is a step by step manual with plenty of photo illustrations is included in each kit. Old School Model Works provides additional links to online, clear, hi-rez photos for each step.
