Victor Saliba Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 A dream came true. I am now the proud owner of all the Wot 4s marks. The latest, the Mk1 flew Saturday 5th February. I only did 1 flight because of throttle problems. The weather was very poor, windy and cloudy. The throttle problem was sorted out later at home. The day after I flew the Mk2 but today 10th February, public holiday here, it flew 5 times this morning and another 5 flights in the afternoon. The plan was bought from Basildon Biggles last year. Many said that the colour scheme is nice, other asked if it''s an ARTF, etc. Powered by a Super Tigre 45 turning an APC 10x7, aluminium spinner, pro-film covering and all Futaba servos. Flying weight is 2.7kg, 6lbs. The cowl is a copy of the Mk3 version, sprayed red by my friend William. My son Stefano, also a Wot fanatic, loves this one. Next week I will take a picture of all of them and post it. No other sports model gives me as much satisfaction and pleasure than the Wot 4.

David Ashby - Moderator Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Bit of a WOT fan eh Victor? You'll have to get the new Xtreme when it's released later this year Do you have a favourite Mk at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Saliba Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Not really, I'm a devoted Wot 4 fan. I prefer the Mk1 for the simple reason that i built it and it's unique. I'm still waiting for the Mk2 XL, hopefully it will be here next week. The Xtreme is the ultimate, I will invest in a DLE 55 petrol engine.

Phil Claridge Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Victor i used to fly an 87in wot 4 using a zenoah 38. the plane was quite a heavy weight but flew well on the zenoah, so a dle 55 will be a bit of an animal. still have the old girl's undercart made from 1/4in ally plate with 5in wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Saliba Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Phil, I have just seen the new member of the Wot series, the Wot Mk2 Extreme, 84" for 50cc petrol. I've already called our local ripmax agent to reserve one. I enlarged the Wot 4 Mk1 plan to 73" for 20cc petrol but now i'm going to wait for the 68" 90 size first, then I see. Will I buy the Extreme version? A great YES - I want them all (tell you a secret, my wife pays for them, ask my friend Ken Anderson).
