This model came-about after I had sold my original Wot 4 complete with its almost un-used original foam veneered wing. I offered my home-made built-up wing to a club-mate, but he surprise me by saying that he already had too many models, "but I'll make you a new fuz for the wing, if you like!"
This was an offer I couldn't refuse, so the new fuz was duly made and presented to me a few weeks later (and the maker wouldn't accept any payment for his work - nor for the materials used either)
The engine is a new ASP .61 4-stroke
The u/c is an old Yamamoto trainer item
The scratch-built wing has inboard flaps, which are used as crow brakes mixed with flaperons
I made the rudder an inch and a quarter longer than normal, to see how this may affect the knife-edge performance
This model was the sole survivor of my garage fire in April 2006. It escaped undamaged because I had only just fixed it up with radio gear, engine, etc, and it was sitting on the garage floor waiting for me to find it a suitable storage area for it in the roof. All my other models were burned and dropped to the floor in flames - miraculously missing this model in the process!
