| > Specialist RC Aircraft > Glow Fuel Aircraft | When you're new to the hobby it's worth contacting a local flying club to get help and hands on advice with flying a model. A full list of national flying sites and aircraft clubs can be found at www.bmfa.org. Powered flight is usually noisy and exciting so care must be taken to avoid annoying, or even worse, colliding with third parties. Some instruction will be necessary as it is all too easy to crash! Remember that warranties are restricted to repair/replacement of faulty items and crash damage is excluded.

Welcome to the world of full blown internal combustion engine powered models, using glow fuel. Power models usually have three functions, throttle, rudder and elevator as the simplest configuration, although provided the operator is using the services of an instructor, there is no reason why a trainer should not have aileron control as well. The typical powered trainer will be high winged,, with sufficient stability to allow the model to fly 'hands-off' while the flyer thinks about what to do. Most models require some degree of building and trimming, a task made much easier by taking advice. Flying RC aircraft as a hobby has been growing worldwide with the advent of more efficient power; electric, miniature internal combustion or even jet engines plus lighter and more powerful batteries and less expensive radio systems. A wide variety of models and styles are available. We also supply radio controlled aircraft simulators, so you can hone skills before attempting a first flight or to practice aerobatics without risk of damaging the aircraft. |

When Chris Foss, the UK's most respected designer of model aircraft, brings you an all new trainer, you just know it's going to be something special! The Wot Trainer has incredibly stable flight characteristics combined with a progressive and predictable slow stall that inspires confidence in the complete beginner. Increase the power and control throws and the Wot Trainer is capable of producing a solid performance of basic aerobatics that will delight the sports flyer. This great looking model redefines the meaning of the word 'trainer' , it is quite simply the best introduction to radio-controlled model flight available. Mission accomplished Chris Foss!
Wingspan: 1710mm (67”) Requires 4-6 channel 35Mhz Radio, and .40-.46cu Sized Engine Chris carefully considered every element of the learning-to-fly process, from initial assembly of the model, through to those early first flights and beyond... and has created a trainer that is quite simply revolutionary. Constructed from selected materials to give optimum strength without adding unnecessary weight, then factory finished in durable heat-shrink film, the Wot Trainer requires no glue for assembly and can be flight ready in the shortest of time. Other innovative features include a choice of tail-dragger or tricycle undercarriage and a specially designed two piece tapered wing and easily detachable tail surfaces that make the Wot Trainer one of the easiest to transport and store models available. It is in air you really start to appreciate this model's pedigree. | |
