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.

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.

	A Retro, Delta Wing Flying the Comet is a blast. It gives jet-like looks and stability without being overwhelmingly fast. Stability at all speeds make it easy to fly and easy to land.
	WEB-LOCK Construction There's nothing else like it. Build our wings, straight and true - with a minimum amount of fuss.
	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.
	Rugged Landing Gear We include sturdy, pre-bent main gear, steerable nose gear assembly, and wheel collars. The 1/8" diameter wire can absorb quite a bit of abuse for those no-so-good landings.
	Bottom hatch Held in place with thumbscrew, this hatch gives you easy access to batteries or fuel.
	Canopy Also included is a clear, pre-formed plastic canopy.
