Neil67 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I have been flying an acrowot foame for a while. It is a joy to fly. Have a old acrowot built from an original Chris Foss kit. Probably about 12 years old but in great condition. My younger son's model before he discovered girlfriends. Has a 70 four stroke. Anything obvious I should watch out for during the transition?

Richard Ashworth Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I moved from a foamie Wot4 to an electric 55 motor ARTF Acro Wot. The two things that caught me out were firstly the AW likes to turn left on starting its takeoff run, be ready with right rudder until it gets to flying speed. Secondly, until you are confident with its slow flying, fly it in to land don't try a foamie glide. The foamie only weighs about a third of the I/c plane which flies faster with a lot more momentum and smoothness. The only manouver that I have so far had problems with is a stall turn! I am told it's an art you have to learn. Have fun! Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r6dan Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 The built up acro will land way quicker and watch it for tip stalling if you try and do any slow low turns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
