Instructions for use

WOTS WOT - Instructions
Control Throws
For initial flights, we recommend the following control
throws - each measured at the widest point of the surface:
Elevator: 20mm up - 20mm down
20% exponential
Rudder: 60+mm left - 60+mm right
No exponential
Ailerons: 10mm up - 10mm down
(Measured on lower Ailerons)
30% exponential
Balancing the Wots Wot
The Centre of Gravity (C/G or Balance Point) should be
115mm (4-1/2") back from the leading edge of the upper
wing at the root. This should be measured with the fuel
tank empty or a Li-Po installed. Support the completed
model under the wing either side of the cabane strut at this
point and add weight or adjust the position of the radio or
flight battery in its bay as necessary to achieve a slightly
nose down attitude. A model that is not correctly balanced
will not perform as it should and, at worst, be unstable
or unflyable, leading to damage to the model or injury to
yourself or others. Do not miss out this step in completing
your Wots Wot!
Pre-Flight checks
• Completely charge your transmitter and receiver batteries
before flying.
• Carefully check your model over to ensure that all screws
are tight and everything is well bonded.
• Double-check the Wots Wot’s Centre of Gravity.
• Check the control surfaces for both the correct throw and
direction. Ensure that each surface moves freely, without
any binding.
• Check the receiver aerial is fully extended.
• Ensure the wing bolts are tight.
Always fly the Wots Wot in a safe location at a recognised club.

Flying the Wots Wot
18
Always Fly Responsibly and Safely
The new Wots Wot biplane is a new addition to the Wot series of aircraft and it has (by general agreement) the best flying
characteristics of them all! With its sleek aerodynamic design and relatively large wing area, the Wots Wot has incredible
low speed handling; being able to fly at amazingly slow flying speeds. Yet open the throttle and the aerobatic performance
and precision is truly outstanding! With a .70 to .81 four stroke engine or electric power with suitable motor and 5 cell
battery pack, the Wots Wot offers a sparkling performance that will satisfy even the most demanding pilot. The model has
been optimised for rapid assembly/disassembly, requiring only 6 screws tightening and 2 clevises connected to be flight
ready... but it's compact enough to fit into most cars in one piece!
