William Corbin 1 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I was recentlygiven a Uno Wot in need of a fair bit of TLC! All done now but I need to know the balance point. I appreciate that I'm looking at 25 - 30% of the chord as a "ball park" figure,and that it is easily calculated. Much easier though if anybody out there has one (or the instructions) and can tell me what is the correct measurement. Many thanks Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Wood Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I'm sure I still have the Uno Wot instructions back at home. I'll have a look tonight & post it here tomorrow. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Corbin 1 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Great. Hope you find it. Much obliged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Wood Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Yep, still got 'em! The balance point range is 3 to 3 3/8 inches back from the leading edge, with the usual advice given to start at the forward point for initial flights & move it back for a more lively performance.

William Corbin 1 Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 Wonderful. Thanks a lot! I had to do a fair bit of rectification - mainly in the nose region and L/E of one wing. I also established that they are designed for 25 - 30 engines - this had a TT GP25 installed. As I'm sure you know TT engines are comparitively quite light, but even after nose repairs I STILL had to put 80g in the cowl - so I decided the additional weight might as well be more power! So it now will be pulled around by a GP42! What the hell! It's a Chris Foss so it will probanly go like a rocket! Thanks again for your assistance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Wood Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Yes, my el*ctric one needed everything well forward to get the balance. The Uno Wot is just a slim slip of a thing - a bit like a lady Wot 4 mk3, so should be ballistic on a 42. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
