Default RE: Wot 4, AcroWot or another simple trainer?

I know this an old thread, but for those of you who are familiar with the excellent "Chris Foss Designs" Unowot and would like to consider an ARF version of this model, than look no further than the KMP F1 Trainer. (or ESM F1 Trainer in Australasia and I think the UK)

The F1 Trainer is basically a scaled up (to .46 size) Unowot with a Trike gear. Even the steel tail skid of the original is included in the kit.

I converted mine to a tail dragger, like the original.

It is the most placid model I have ever flown and I have flown many types. It's even better than the (N.O.P) Great Planes Trainer .60 that I learnt on.

It handles strong wind very well and can be flown at such a slow speed that all the Piper Cubs and Tiger Moths pass you. But open the throttle and it becomes a real aerobat. A 1st and 2nd plane all in one.

I don't think that KMP/ESM realise just what a superb model they have. They should promote it more.

A pic of my converted F1 (on the left) and the original Chris Foss Unowot (on the right) are below for your comparison.
