Wot 4 XL Mk2 ARTF £189.99
Is there anything better than the legendary WOT 4? Well there is now, with the release of the new WOT 4 XL.

This light wing loading also makes for an incredibly low stalling speed and simplifies landings, with a .90-1.20 two stroke or four stroke engine being enough for a sparkling performance and extended verticals with engines at the top end of the range. Soon to be available as an option is a simple aerotow system, which can be retro fitted at any time, taking only minutes to install, and which is suitable for gliders of up to around 4M span and 7kg weight.
