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

Jet-like looks and wide flight envelope make this design stand apart. |
Had enough of the same old designs? Need a ship that is new and different? Look no further than our Polaris - unique, easy to build, and exciting to fly! We've taken Bill Evans' original and brought it up-to-date.
Included are new, simplified building features as well as laser-cut precision and self-aligning parts to make this all-time favorite even better. For example, our exclusive Web-Lock construction makes building the wing panels a snap. Rather than the sheer webs being an afterthought, they are utilized during the build to properly space, position, and lock in each rib.
This type of design is commonly referred to as a Simitar. Though Simitars operate on the concept of a flying wing, they don’t really look like a flying wing, nor do they appear to be conventional in nature. So, what makes them different?
First, no stall. Reduce power, gradually feed in up elevator, and as it slows down, the nose will automatically drop a bit, reducing the angle of attack; therefore, no stall. What makes this possible is the innovative ESA (Evans Simitar Airfoil) which is a semi-symmetrical reflexed design.
Next, the wide speed range. No matter how much power you put into a ship from the Simitar Series, it goes faster (no Dutch Roll). It also slows down to a crawl (the effect of no stall) and sets down like a hang glider.
Finally, a Simitar is directional in flight, in that it will remain in most any attitude it is set in. Once properly trimmed, point it in a direction, and rest assured, it will do as commanded.
Join the Simitar Squadron and become a Polaris pilot with a design that's very smooth-flying and graceful. Easy to build with pieces laser-cut from high-quality balsa and ply woods. When finished, the Polaris' typical Simitar characteristics give it no stall, a wide speed range, and it goes exactly where it’s pointed.
Our Polaris was independently reviewed by MBMrc. Check out their pre-flight video report.

Included in every Old School Model Works kit are all the wing ribs, fuselage formers, and other wood needed to build the aircraft.
We've engineered each kit 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.
A step by step manual with plenty of photo illustrations is included in each kit. We also provide links to online, clear, hi-rez photos for each step.

Bending your own landing gear is hard. So that's why we include pre-bent main landing gear wire ready for you to assemble.
Please Note: All of the Old School Model Works Kits on our website have a $5 Oversize Package surcharge included in the price shown. This will cover the additional shipping cost while still allowing you to choose our economical Flat Rate Shipping option. This makes the delivered cost of the kit the same as ordering it directly Old School Model Works.
We are sorry, but due to the size of the kits and high International shipping costs, we cannot ship them outside of the United States.
