I started flying planes just about 29 years ago now, and the 'Wot' range were about in those days. I used to fly an Acro-Wot back in those days with a Webra 40 + tuned pipe....... went a treat, but could always have done with a 61 if only I could have afforded it at the time.

:):)

after starting to fly in 1979 with a tyro 2.and then a masterline viceroy/then a villain.my first low winger was an acrowot with a os 40fp.
then a ganster 52/and a 63
ripmax have done a good job releasing these new kits and they are releasing the GANSTER 63 fantastic news lol
i bet an ACRO WOT artf will be coming soon.ill have one of those too:cheers2:
good old days:)

Get to open up my Parkzone Wildcat today!

Nice one Mart, had a look at the t28 Trojan at Daniels but it is the 72MHz version with radio, not the one i was after but thanks for the heads up, went to my lhs and pick up a T28 trojan BNF for 149.00.

I have an Acrowot which i have not got around to flying yet. It was built by me about 22 years ago! :svengo: fitted with a Super Tiger S61K Ring engine. perhaps i should refit some servos and get it flying :) Although perhaps flight performance would be better if I substituted the S61K with an OS 55AX as its bound to be lighter...

Have plenty of other planks of various types - mostly trainers and 3D but all are nitro and 35MHz and I have been meaning to buy a/some FASST Rx's for some of them. Seems lots of heli chaps from our club are moving over to the plank flying. Saw some Orange RX's available with are FASST though and $40 a go... might be worth trying one as Futaba are not cheap...

[debrooker]

Are these suitable as a trainer? was a bit unclear from the blurb i read.

[Dedcalm]

I have known people use the traditional Wot-4 kit as a trainer, they are so versatile! the foam-e may be a little light for it though... having never flown one though what do i know.

yeah it maybe.BUT i would say a traditional trainer would be more suitable really,the wot 4 is a sports aerobatic model with a straight wing with no dihederal so a trainer is better for raw novices

if you can fly a circuit on a heli you will have no trouble at all with this type of plane. You will get very very bored of a typical trainer very very quickly.
