RE: what tape to use for sale making?

I don't know if you can get this in office supply stores, but 3M 950 double sided tape would be ideal for spinnaker cloth and light mylar cloths.

rc setups

I would love to see how you guys are connecting the rudder servo to the rudder post. And also if you are running limit switches (of some sort) on the rudder servo.

RE: Fairing after FG

RE: custom hull update

Update:
I've finished the mold, laid two layers fiberglass, and seperated the two in the past week. Pretty stoked to have a hull. Today I went ahead with cutting and shaping the keel strut and...

RE: Looking for an aluminium mast with foil border of attack

I can only assume hes after foiled shaped alloy to minimize the drag around the mast, as well as minimize seperation on the luff.

Border of attack.. Angle of attack to which leading edge of the...

RE: cant this

None at all. I'm just going to use a 3 channel remote, and the thrid channel will control a high torque servo. I see no advantage to allowing the boat to figure it out itself.

RE: cant this

a little update of the "big picture". Max cant angle is 25 degrees. the render is shown with 25 degrees of heel as well, although I think it would take quite a breeze to get it there.

RE: cant this

There is no way that 55 degrees wouldn't require a foward foil. The boat wouldn't track at all. I am almost positive that the big canters don't can't over 45, and usually less than that when the...
