Acro Wot ARTF (balsa) chat

Thought it would be a good idea to start a new thread relating to the balsa ARTF Acro Wot that's due to go on sale early July.

We've been test flying the review model over the last few weeks and have put together a little video.........

Did I hear you say that it's an ASP 70 up front in the review model?

Have an SC 80 put aside for mine!

ASP .70 yes

.80? That'll shift it

I have an older OS 70FS put aside for mine. Hope its not too heavy. Nice video.

Ah...the sound....the smoke.....the blue skies......don't you just love it......

Great video David.......looked very nice to fly.....everything you would expect an Acrowot to be really....

Definitely on my "Want it" list......I even have an ASP70 for it if I can prise it away from my Yak.....

I was planning on putting an Irvine .53 in mine. Is it really sacrilege to put a 2 stroke in an Acrowot, as some as suggesting?

the tragedy comes when fitting one to a wot 4, the acro seems to lend itself more readily to a four banger, has this thing got a forecast price yet?

i've one of these on order, I rang Ripmax Monday and they said possibly in next week.

I haven't decided yet wether to go IC with a Saito 82,or asp 80 or Electric (which I will fly more)

Our LMS (where I have mine ordered) has them on the website at £122

you know, me, a dedicated warbird and racing plane flyer, might just get one of those,

David: Will it be at the rcme/greenacres fly in?

Should be, if I can sqeeze it in the car Gavin

Are you saying its a tragedy to fit a 2 stroke to a wot4? (The Irvine .53 is in mine at the mo, and I was planning to put the Irvine .46 in the wot4, and move the .53 to the AcroWot).

Wot4 is great crack with the .53

It relly looks great , but can I be a realist and wonder if the eflite power 60 would be installerable and if it has provision for easy installation of electric

Peter

nope, not at all, the acro is a goer with a 4 stroke, best motor for the wot 4 is the superb irvine 53 2 stroke

Good question, Peter. Or even an eflite power 46?

Ian

or my spare laser 80, british designed, british engine, cant sell it, may as well use it

Don't blame the messenger if not true but Ripmax should be getting them in tomorrow the 20th

Kings Lynn models are showing artf acro wots as in stock. Other suppliers may have them as well
