Rocker Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Not seen the Acro Wot XL now for sale for over a year now .Anyone know if Ripmax has discontinued this model It looks to me like the Ripmax ARTF Wot series of model has vanished And the only way to buy a Wot model is like the old times ,direct from Chris Foss but he does not do the Acro Wot XL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Gray Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 TBH you don't need great skills to build this 'plane, from memory it took all of 2 weeks and most of the time was spent covering it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocker Posted September 19, 2023 Author Share Posted September 19, 2023 It turns out .The factory that produced the Wots model shut down in the covid and never re opened and Ripmax has not found any other factory to carry on producing the Wots model .So I think we have seen the last of the ARTF Wot 4,Acro Wot and the Wots Wot ☹️ Sad to lose such good models 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a balsa/ply ARTF Wot 4 powered electrically and it's been very good and well-built/covered. IIRC it was £110 from Kings Lynn Models - cheaper than a kit at the time. Is there anyone here who hasn't had a Wot4 of some sort? I built a Mk3 (tapered wing) some years ago as well as the ARTF I fly now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
