Heres a quick look…
Good on you, Brett. Looks really cool. I’ll be that keel bulb was made by smearing some lead into a deep scratch…:razz:
I have tracked down some components to use,seems it is possible to control this boat with some tiny servos instead of actuaters…just deciding if I should purchase or not…
2 of these little guys on a pool would be really fun.
amazingly small!! WOW!!
Brett,
I really like your new avatar. You’re the “big guy” of the ‘small boats’!:nuts:
At last!! I have her working,
Test sail this evening under full radio control.Control is positive and managable using the insides from a tiny r/c car.The sail winch is not as powerful as I had hoped and requires some work ,but the boat is working and sailing great.
This was my 3rd attempt at a r/c model at this size,feels good to have finally made it.
Total displacment(weight) is 25 grams,12grams is ballast and another12grams for the entire radio system,the boat itself picks up the other remaining gram:)
What battery do you use to power the boat?
All my recent posts on this subject are now missing.
Frustrating…
