Hi Peter, I'll be honest I bought my kit in the knowledge that I would be replacing a lot of the hardware, after a lot of research it became apparent that the YT products are not quick build projects but without doubt the best looking spitfire kit available in this size without going down the full build route. I was lucky enough to get an unstarted kit for £200 so the cost of additional hardware isn't really an issue for me. Tim, Thanks for the info, I will have a crack at the contoured doors when I get to the retracts, I have only installed the engine upto now, as I'm petrol only I have gone with a DLE 20cc which fits very nicely in the cowl. Cheers Tony

Hi Tim just got me a Spit kit kit to build and your build thread has been a great resource so thanks for posting in your build you mention a method for producing contoured gear doors, do you have a link to this info ? Thanks again and I hope she is still flying Tony

Count me in

Thanks once more Eamonn , with a maximum of 5.25 inches to play with I have more than enough room to fit the Ngh gt9 petrol in, I feel a build coming on

Thanks eamonn, much appreciated

Hi guys, could any of you kind folk supply me with a measurement from the firewall to the front of the prop driver please. This is on a kit built acro-wot not the new ARTF airframes. I only fly petrol now but really enjoyed my old acrowot and am wondering if I can fit one of the new ngh 9cc petrols in...... Thanks in advance Tong Bryan

Thanks for you input guys, I`ll email Slec to see if they have any stock. I have managed to keep the front screen in tact supported by clear tape over the cracks, I will apply a little light heat to see if I can flatten it out to make a pattern.@import url(http://www.modelflying.co.uk/CuteEditor_Files/Style/SyntaxHighlighter.css);@import url(/CuteEditor_Files/public_forums.css);

@import url(http://www.modelflying.co.uk/CuteEditor_Files/Style/SyntaxHighlighter.css);@import url(/CuteEditor_Files/public_forums.css); Hi I am in the process of refurbishing an old Prededent T180 and am in the need of new glazing as the old set is all brittle and cracked. The side windows wont be a problem as I can cut new from a sheet of clear plastic but not sure about the front wrap around !!! If anybody knows where I can source spares or any idea`s about making a new wrap around it would be greatly appreciated.

Its in the shops but my subscriber issue not yet appeared through the letter box @import url(http://www.modelflying.co.uk/CuteEditor_Files/Style/SyntaxHighlighter.css);@import url(/CuteEditor_Files/public_forums.css);

Disappointed with my copy this Month, Pages stuck together where not cut correctly and pages bound in at a 30 degree angle so unable to read the news pages and 2 articles fully   IS anyone else's copy the same ????? @import url(http://www.modelflying.co.uk/CuteEditor_Files/Style/SyntaxHighlighter.css);@import url(/CuteEditor_Files/public_forums.css);

I thought i may have been pushing it to be honest, Perhaps i`ll just put the Saito 72 in and save the 100 for a future project !!!!   Thanks again   Tony

Hi Guys, another question, the max 4st engine size for both the acro and the Wot 4 is a 90, would i be pushing the airframes to far if i squeezed my saito 100 into one of the airframes ????   Cheers Tony

Thanks for all the prompt repsones guys, i think i`m gonna put the 46ax and pipe in the wot 4, and the jen 57 in the acro wot,    Ken you have any issues with lateral balance with that sidewinder installation ?????   Mick you mention Mods, any links so i can get myself clued up ????   Cheers   Tony

Hi Guys,   I am currently building a Wot 4 to use as a general sport plane for our not so smooth grass strip, but i am wondering what size engine to fit, as you probably know the box gives a wide range of rec engine sizes, but which is best suited to general sport flying ??? i have a selection of engines looking for home but which to choose ?   Os 46ax with genesis quiet pipe Jen .57  Supre Tigre G51 Saito 56 Four stroke   any input greatly appreciated.   Also........   I have aquired an Acro Wot air frame, could anybody tell me where the C of G position please ????   Thanks in Advance   Tony  

Thanks for all your suggestions fellas, I think i`m gonna stick with clingfilm and aliphatic glue (easier to sand)   Tony
