Acro Wot - Instructions
Control Throws
For initial flights, we recommend the following control
throws - each measured at the widest point of the surface:
Elevator: 12mm up
12mm down
Rudder: Maximum possible each way
Ailerons: 6mm up
6mm down
Balancing the Acro Wot
The Centre of Gravity (C/G or Balance Point) should be
83mm +/-6mm (3-1/4" +/-1/4") back from the leading
edge of the wing at the root. 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 Acro Wot!
For best performance, the model must also balance
laterally. Support the Acro Wot at the base of the fin
leading edge and the crankshaft (with the prop and
spinner removed) and add weight to the left hand wingtip
to counteract the offset weight of the side-mounted
engine.
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 Acro 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(s) are correctly installed.
• Ensure the wing bolts are tight.
While the Acro Wot is not suitable as a first model, it does
make an excellent first low-wing model with reduced
control throws and an engine from the lower end of the
range. In this case, we recommend that your completed
model is checked over and test flown by a competent
pilot first. Subsequent flights should also be supervised,
and assisted where necessary, by an experienced pilot.
Always fly the Acro Wot in a safe location at a recognised
club.

Flying the Acro WOT
Always fly responsibly and safely.
Chris Foss has managed to take one of the UK's most popular low wing sports models and make it even better! The new
Mk2 version not only has an improved appearance, it has a breathtaking performance too! Its light weight and exceptional
power to weight ratio means that the Acro Wot has the perfect balance of control; authoratitive, but not twitchy and a
a well-mannered stall when really pushed. With reduced control throws, and engines at the lower end of the power
range, it is the ideal first low-winger and suitable for those wishing to progess onto a fully aerobatic model. But with the
recommended throws it will perform all advanced aerobatic manoeuvres with loops, rolls, flicks and spins being well within
its repertoire. Limitless vertical performance is available with engines at the top end of the recommended range - perfect
for the most demanding pilot.
