RE: RC multihulls?
Hi martno1fan,No problems,but they seem to want a multi that looks pretty,as was the reply last time they were shown the foamy floats.So once again I will impress upon people,these are not what my mate and I were doing.We were not interested in how it looks we know a multihull can look superb and work really well and impress with speed,that is what they are about.But we as many other people were looking at ironing out the problems faced by model multihulls if at all possible.If you know the problem you can then attempt to overcome it.I shudder to think of the cost of the number of floats we would have had to make/buy and the time used up doing this,when all we wanted to do is apply more or less rocker.But one thing I know from dingy racing was If you capsized you very rarely won that race,in model multi racing you have no chance at all!We have evolved a fast stable platform[Yes it will if pushed too hard capsize] a lot of which goes away from traditional ideas,some of which, is because we are dealing with models only.Look at the 3D model aircraft electric flight and what fun people get out of them,they look roughly like a real aircraft,but out fly the real thing in what they can do.My message is,get out there and do it in whatever way you can.It is great fun,and you learn a lot,but only if you want to.How fast are our multihulls ??I have not a clue !But I get a great deal of pleasure and upset[pardon the pun]from sailing these magnificant multihulled model yachts.[>:] Scotty
