Scaling up RC boats
Hi,
after having worked on medium-sized RC boats during my internship at a Maritime Safety Research Centre, I came up with a weird idea and now I am trying to see if it is feasible or not.
As I have a surfboard laying unused and a PixHawk control unit, maybe I could add an outboard motor for kayaks (the watersnake 18lb seems ok) and have my own self-piloting boat.
Do you believe it is possible or the motor is too small for such an application?
Thank you!
