What do I need to build a RC boat?
Kimber asked:
It is a schooner sailboat with 3 sails and a rudder. I have the hull I built and sails and everything but the RC parts? What do I need just to be able to control 3 sails and a rudder?

Are you looking for something but can not find it, or have a question for us? We would love to help you. Just fill out the form below and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
You’d need a 2 or 3 channel receiver, transmitter, and a servo to operate the rudder. I’m not sure how you would be able to operate the sails though, obviously a couple of servos, but I’m not sure how you’d link the servos to the sails to be able to turn the against or into the wind.
You might want to fit an electric motor and esc too, just so you have a way of using it if the wind speed drops so your boat isn’t stranded out in the middle of a deep lake!
