Wot Trainer - Instructions
C o n t r o l t h r o w s
For initial flights, we recommend the following:
Elevator:
10mm up
10mm down
Rudder:
25mm left
25mm right
Ailerons:
8mm up
8mm down
B a l a n c i n g t h e m o d e l
The Centre of Gravity (C/G or Balance Point) should be 89mm
(3.5") back from the leading edge of the wing at the root, this
being the centreline of the wing joining tube. This should be
measured with the fuel tank empty. Support the completed
model under the wing either side of the fuselage at this point
and add weight or adjust the position of the radio 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 Wot Trainer!
P r e - f l i g h t c h e c k s
• 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 Wot Trainer’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.
We recommend that your completed model is checked over
and test flown by a competent pilot. All subsequent flights
should also be supervised, and assisted where necessary, by an
experienced pilot until you are considered safe to fly the model
unsupervised. Always fly the Wot Trainer in a safe location at
a recognised club. For further information on flying in the UK,
