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 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.

	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.
	WEB-LOCK Construction There's nothing else like it. Build our wings, straight and true - with a minimum amount of fuss.
	Dual Ailerons Mounted underwing, these two pre-cut aileron hatches make it easy to install the aileron servos. A low parts count and small size make this kit quick to build and easy to fly at schoolyards, ballfields, and parks.
	Main gear Included are the pre-bent main gear legs.
	Front hatch Held in with magnets, this extra large hatch gives you easy access to swap out the flight battery.
	Included Motor Spacers Included are additional spacers to help position your electric motor at just the right spot, regardless of brand.
