"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."

Wow that looks nice! Any flying video?

So what's so great about a model kitted in the 70's?

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.)

I also have to fatally crash some models to make space for it 

And then there is the "Hot Hots!"

This is a 3D capable Hots.

I'm going to give it a shot 

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

I'm no 3D flyer - can barely land and take-off; but Hey! Maybe I'll learn 

Barn door or warehouse door? 5 " ailerons 



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

Wing complete; weighs a ton!

Looking for updates sir

Soon, soon

  seeing lesser of coro, more of balsa in the newer builds

I know 

Structural issues. This was a bad choice for a Corro conversion 

Rai Sir good build  

Thank you Gaurangbhai. Still a long way to go

Your Building techniques are awesome

Thank you Nitesh

Let's just hope she flies 

It will.
Quite sure.

SR series planes fly ,
gracefully.

I totally agree to the voice which the owner himself/herself can't listen to.

Voice, Nitesh - you guys are kind  

Stillsome way to go

cant get images!

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

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

Subhaan allah.......

 

super build,

go easy on the throws, initially

Thank you Surabh &  Satish
