Default Let me ask this question differently

First off I am building a Victor Model America3 .I have left them a message with no reply..I have built the entire boat but what I cant figure out is where to put the sail servo. I dont have a winch servo I will use the plastic included in the kit to make the 4 1/2 inch control arm. The building instructions dont hardly help at all with the rigging either.what should I do I dont know anyone who has a sailboat to look at and theres no clubs in my city..Im on my own...I need a picture or two and I will be fine ..Can anyone post a pic of there boat so I can see the servo and the rigging then I can finish my boat. Whoever helps gets 1000 virgins and beer! LOL Thanks All Paul

Mastic, I've had no experience with any of the Victor boats but most sailboats have a LOT in common and once you figure one of them out, you're pretty well on the road to understanding all of them.

The best help I think I can give you is to provide you with some links for build sites and instruction manuals.
[link=http://fairwind900.home.comcast.net/Chris/BMYC.pdf]Fairwind Build Manual[/link]

If you got to a search engine like Google and type "Kyosho Seawind Manual" it will take you where you can get the entire manual in PDF format.

Or if you go to places like the Victoria Resource Center you'll find all sorts of information how to do everything to a Victoria.

ALL of these are going to be mighty similar to your boat. And for all I know there is even a manual out there for the Victor America. I haven't searched it. But I will for you.

Bottom line is use your web browser search engine. Google and hotbot are very good ones. Just tell it exactly what you want in as few words as possible and you can find it.

Good luck.

Hey... there's a Yahoo group specifically for these boats. [link=http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/cupclassyacht] www.groups.yahoo.com/group/cupclassyacht[/link]

There should be plenty of folks over there that would be willing to help.

Good luck!

Mystic, here is another link you should check out that may be a big help to you. It is for the Victoria, which is a similar boat, and this link has one of the best build sections of any website out there. Print it out and study it and you should be able to figure out what you need to do on the America 3.

Mystic,
Here is one way, just send me 3 or 4 virgins and Miller beer I'm 58 more than that might kill me.
Send the rest to Pecos & wis, send me all the beer.
Thanks
Don
