R/C fireworks boat
A friend of mine has charged me with building a boat stable enough to launch fireworks from. I've come up with a remote launching mechanism (creative use of a servo, nails, and some model rocket motor ignitors), but I'm still wondering exactly how to steer the thing.
Here's what I've come up with so far. Please feel free to add in any suggestions and ideas on how to make the concept work.
-Pontoon boat (dual hull design) for stability and to provide enough surface area to mount the array of fireworks, also nice for using 2 motors (thrust AND steering)
-electric power (no fuel to set ablaze in case of mis-hap)
-above mentioned ignition system (no need for additional radio for ignition)
The problem I'm having is what kind of TX/RX to use for the two motors mounted to the pontoons in order to get proper control of both forward motion AND steering (thrust differential steering).
Any suggestions? I'm VERY open to thoughts and have a financial backer for the project, so cost is of mediocre issue.
