RE: Roy L. Clough, Jr, Even More Articles
Phil, you were right, I was not dissapointed! Lots of interesting articles and plans including the Hydrofoil ( hydroplane it was called) I have been after for so long. Once again many thanks sir!
Now I must think through the design and see how (if at all) it could be adapted to R/C. Trying to get her to turn well might be tricky. I also wonder how the best way to implement some sort of trim once she has risen and is on her "wings" (foils) It really is an odd looking design. Reminds me of a wheelhouse of a tugboat. Outside of that one notable familiar part the rest is complete whimsey. I don't know if anything like it has ever been made. I guess that is what makes it unique!
I am not much of a boat man myself when it comes to modeling but I did run across another R/C boat called the Miss Take which really caught my eye. Uses both an air rudder and water rudder.
