Remove both ailerons and ensure that the hinges are inserted midway in their slots. Using thin cyano, pour a couple of drops onto each hinge - above and below - ensuring the glue soaks into the hinge and the surrounding wood.

- Seite 10 Wot4 EP/GP Instructions | Wot4 EP/GP Anleitung Stage 25 / Schritt 25 Remove the tailplane and cut away the covering from just inside the marked lines to give a film-free surface for the glue to bond. IMPORTANT: Ensure that only the film is cut - not the tailplane - as this will seriously weaken the structure.
- Seite 11 Wot4 EP/GP Instructions | Wot4 EP/GP Anleitung Stage 28 / Schritt 28 Turn the model over and drop more cyano onto each hinge from the other side. Repeat for the second elevator half. Drehen Sie das Modell um, und tropfen Sie nochmals Sekundenkleber auf diese Seite der Scharniere.
- Seite 12 Wot4 EP/GP Instructions | Wot4 EP/GP Anleitung Stage 33 / Schritt 33 Before the glue cures, check that the fin is pushed down fully into its slot in the top of the fuselage and ensure that it is perpendicular to the tailplane using a set square. Any excess epoxy can be wiped from the model before it cures using methylated spirit or methanol.
- Seite 13 Wot4 EP/GP Instructions | Wot4 EP/GP Anleitung Stage 38 / Schritt 38 Locate the closed loop horn and install it in the rudder in line with the slots in the fuselage using the nuts and washers as shown.

- Seite 18 Wot4 EP/GP Instructions | Wot4 EP/GP Anleitung Stage 64 / Schritt 64 Connect and install your receiver in the radio bay with plenty of shock absorbing foam. Temporarily install your radio's battery in the radio bay. Its final position is determined after balancing the model.
- Seite 19 Wot4 EP/GP Instructions | Wot4 EP/GP Anleitung Stage 52 / Schritt 52 Connect your ESC to the motor and mount to the side of the battery access bay using velcro.

- Seite 20 Wot4 EP/GP Instructions | Wot4 EP/GP Anleitung Stage 57 / Schritt 57 To adjust the cowl/spinner clearance attach some foam tape to the back of the back plate to act as a spacer. Position the cowl and bolt on the spinner back plate to get the clearance correct. Zum Einstellen des Abstandes der Motorhaube und des Spinners befestigen Sie einige Schaumstoffbänder an der Rückseite der Spinnerplatte.
- Seite 21 Wot4 EP/GP Instructions | Wot4 EP/GP Anleitung Balancing / Schwerpunkt The Centre of Gravity (C/G or Balance Point) should be 82mm (3-1/4") back from the leading edge of the wing at the root. This should be measured with the fuel tank empty. Support the completed model under the wing either side of the fuselage at this point and add weight or adjust the position of the radio battery in as necessary to achieve a slightly nose down attitude.
- Seite 22 Wot4 EP/GP Instructions | Wot4 EP/GP Anleitung Pre-Flight Checks / Vorflug Checks While the Wot4 is not a trainer, it does make an excellent first aileron model with reduced control throws. In this case, we recommend that your completed model is checked over and test flown by a competent pilot first. Subsequent flights should also be supervised, and assisted where necessary, by an experienced pilot.
