Scratch Build WOT-4
A friend from England was kind enough to give me a set of plans for this sport plane. The kit would have cost too much to order and ship to the states so I decided to scratch build it.
Here is a link to the manufacturer. http://www.chrisfoss.co.uk/#/wot-4/4538950500
The build is straight forward and very light weight model.

RE: Scratch Build WOT-4
The WOT 4 is something of a British Classic which has been around since the 1970s. WOT 4s feature on every British flight line, they are available in kit form or as ARTFs. There is even a reduced-sized foamy WOT 4 which is very popular with electric modellers. They make great follow-on models for fliers who have already mastered a basic four-channel trainer.

RE: Scratch Build WOT-4
Did some flying this morning then back on project. Much time needed for shaping the leading edge. Using quarter round balsa stock would save time on this.
Cutout wing tip components and assembled before attaching to wing. Next I'll join the wing panels, finish sheeting top/bottom, apply rib cap strips and webbing between beech spars. Need to decide whether to use two or single aileron servos.
