Title: The Hots in Corro - A Bridge Too Far?
Post by: sanjayrai55 on June 28, 2016, 05:38:07 PM
"Arguably one of the best sport planes ever designed, it will take anything you can throw at it.

Midwest made 3 sizes of the Hots and others have taken the design to produce giant scale sizes.

Sadly Midwest does not produce this plane any longer, they are still floating around for sale every so often.

I like mine as a sport plane to buzz around and enjoy the handling of a well build, well designed sport plane.

Flies like a dream and looks good in the air.
Ask an old timer if he remembers them."

The obvious challenges in converting to Corro/Electric - all the angles, and managing an AUW to suit the motor I have (maximum 450W or 25 Nitro size approx.)

This is a 3D capable Hots.

I'm going to give it a shot  ;D ;D

IfI can get the wing OK, I'll try the fuse too  ;) ;)

Barn door or warehouse door? 5 " ailerons  :o

That size of aileron in 4 mm corrowill flutter like a leaf in a gale! So put a 2 mm balsa sheet

Structural issues. This was a bad choice for a Corro conversion  8-)

Sanjay sir

try CL with this model, flies well, esp inverted square loop etc, it was one of the advanced CL model, when you graduated from super clown, super hot was the way to go

Post by: sanjayrai55 on July 12, 2016, 05:11:06 AM
Gusty saheb, I have searched, but could not locate the Super Hot CL model. I do think it is different, the Hots was conceived directly as an RC Model in the late 70s
