wot or not

[rotorwrecker]

Hi all.I have tried to find a good uk forum for planes but cannot pin one down.I am looking at buying a trainer either a WOT4 or Seagull arising star.The wot is 30% more expensive yet when together the main difference visualy is the wot has more substantial landing gear otherwise they look pretty much the same.So can anyone tell me if the wot is better than the star and why.

Thanks.

Dave, the Seagull is a fine trainer. Given the likelihood of damage in the first few flights it's the one time I'd advocate the cheaper option.

I learnt on an arising star it was a nice flyer on all accounts.

Hi, i have been a plank flyer for 15 years,you need somthing slow and stable, the WOT4 is NOT the way to go, seagull or simler rtf kits are best, if you need any advice on the build or setting up just let me know..Martin

Ok thanks,It looks like its the seagull then:).Mabery thanks for the offer of help and i might just take you up on that.One other querie.I have had an offer of a choice of two used but new looking engines.The seller said they both would suite a 30>40 class trainer but i wouldnt know.sc42ringed two stroke or sc 52 four stroke ringed.I like the idea of four stroke but would it be suitable.
CHEERS!

Hi Dave .
You could try the R C M F , Forum it seems ok when ever ive been on there , also i agree with the others about the Wot 4 , it will make a good seccond model though . If you fancy a Chris Foss Model you could have a look at the Wot Trainer , looks similar to a wot 4 but is a dedicated trainer . Another option if you are in a club see what seems to be used there . Hope this helps mate . Rob .

Thanks for the forum info.They seem to be hard to find :confused:.I,m going with the seagull as its quite a bit cheaper than the wot and i really need a bit aside for heli mishaps so unless the wot trainer was significantly better than the cheaper one which sounds like its a good flyer.I dont know why but i have for long time wanted to fly a twin engined ic rc plane.Dont know why as i dont have a big interest in planes.:confused:

I think thats a good choice mate , I've got a seagull X.Ray its really well built and a cracking little flyer . I know what you mean about the forums , theres one or two electric ones about and R C talk uk , another one i sometimes use is R C Universe but its a bit U S orientated . Anyway good luck with the seagull , and youre Twin when you build it . Rob .
