Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Water Models / October 2005Sailboad Question
I've been sailing an RC sailboat now for about 3 years, and I think it's time for a new boat. I've been looking around the net for some idea's, but haven't seen what I'm looking for. Does anyone know of a company which produces RC boats based on 16th/17th century warships (i.e. Brigantines and other square sailed ships)? Thanx Bryan Hi Bryan Check out www.modelexpo.com. They are in Florida and sell many ship models like that. They are mainly for display but I would think that some could be modified for RC use. Good luck Baron >I've been sailing an RC sailboat now for about 3 years, and I think it's >time for a new boat.

Unfortunately a little big - for both my car and my pocket book... Maybe I can design my own ;-) [snip] > Maybe I can design my own ;-) If you go to www.swcp.com/usvmyg and chase the links down to "square riggers" you'll find an interesting series of articles, including plans for a free-sailing boat. Several people have built successful R/C models to these plans. Cheers, Earl Well they do have most of the line drawings that you need to build your own posted with each ship.:D -- Umi_Ryuzuki Nyow! / =^o^= ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted from the RCGroups.com Discussion Forums.

Bryan Hi I'm new here. I have just started building my own version of thi same boat. I downloaded the plans and instruction. Then I enlarged th drawings and offsets to the actual size. 1 inch butts and 3 inc station lines. 34 inch long hull. I'm using pink foam from Home Depot I just got my first RC radio monday in the mail. A futaba 2DR. removed the centering springs so that it will stay were I put it. Thi is emensly satifying. :) I'm starting to rasp down the hull now. Carawa -- Carawa |
