I'm now officially on the darkside

The wife bought me a Wot 4 foam E as a b'day present, and she also decided i need a lipo to go with that aswell :)

Cool, nothing wrong with planes,
I've got a wot 4 foam e too, great fun

My advice is to get yourself off to a club and have the first few flights on a buddy lead - you will not regret it. I thought I was really good on Phoenix doing reasonable 3D taking off landing etc etc; when it comes to it it ain't that easy (I speak from experience).
With the WOT4 foam E you would be best setting it up on dual rates to give about half the travel on Elevator Ailerons and Rudder - it does quite reasonable 3D so it is quite responsive to stick input - I would also add some expo on all 3 as well (I used about -30%).
Good luck, hope you enjoy it.

Actually I second that about the EXPO think mine has about 30% too, although I never use dual rates.

I have mine with no expo and no dual rates and lots of travel and no undercarriage! Its still forgiving, at least it was till it had a earth hardness testing session a while back! As for buddy lead, I think if you can fly a heli competently then a plank is a walk in the park.

You've said it yourself why I suggested the setup I did, it's no encouragement to put it in first time out and it can easily happen; at least you're improving the odds of no damage!

[Spanner]

But the foamy is so forgiving and easy to fly, you hardly have to even fly it, even with lots of throw and no expo it flys very docile. low rates and lots of expo make it harder to fly imo.

Foam wot 4s are great fun, love mine, on saturday we had 7 of them in the air at the same time, and all bar one got down ok, and that was pilot error knifedging at a foot with a wot 4 is possible but very silly.

I think we'll agree to disagree on this - it's easier if you're not going to overcomphensate for errors; you don't really learn what your inputs are going to do sometimes until it's too late.

The wot 4 foame is great fun , a little underpowered IMO

If you can fly an Heli . You find the wot 4 a piece of cake

Like said I flew min on full rates and no expo , and still found it too docile ??

Just sold it recently

I still fly my extra 300 tho

That is an animal on full rates

Hope you enjoy it :-)
