My RC boat with automatic canting keel

Hi all,
I have been making a new website for my radio control boat with canting keel, I have worked out a way to make it automatically cant which leaves me with 2 more channels, probably resulting in a assymetrical kite later.
here it is www.yachtie2k4.bravehost.com
there are not many photo’s as yet becuase I need them at school as it is for school, this means that its educational :stuck_out_tongue: eh eh eh.
please reply to tell me ways of improving the website.
thanks

Thanks cougar,
all the stuff I have at the moment, I have either gotten off friends or brought from hardware stores (Central Timber) and Addie’s Hobbies for the radio control gear.

the boat went for its first swim, testing the rudder bearing with the keel on, only place it leaks is the keel mounts, but thats cause i havent sealed it yet, but should be done in about 1-2 weeks :smiley: YEA!!! it wont be christened until its first sail which should be in 3-4 weeks, depending on the conditions down at the club, there is one thing i need for the christening, a little bottle of champagne, does any one know where i can get a little bottle of champagne from in east side of Melbourne Australia?]
thanks

I got photo’s of it now, they are old photo’s yes, but they are there, i have modified it a bit, changed the keel around so that the arm is at the front.

Rob -

just an FYI - but your website is currently “dead” and off the air. Used up all your allocated bandwidth !

mmm, ye, to many people visiting it! only got 17 mb of bandwidth which sucks, but i cant complain as its free!!

for $4.95 a month its hard to beat, I’m on an old package that they don’t offer anymore but i think i’m going to upgrade my account, because its a much better deal.

Happy Sailing
