There were two versions of the OW-3. The OW-3 Hi-Lift variant (two built) was a two-seat, open cockpit biplane with a modified Standard J-1 fuselage that incorporated a Welch-designed high-lift wing.[2] The OW-3M (only one built) was an open cockpit parasol monoplane that could seat three people.[3][4]
