Muy bueno el vídeo y muy explicativo en detalles y construcción. Por fin he comprendido la instalación del servo rotativo para la vela un Barco simple, pero marinero!!! Enhorabuena!!!
Thanks for the complements. Are you building an RC sailboat? I have almost finished building Irene at an 80% scale, which gives 50% displacement, about the same size as Emma. I watched now some of your favorite videos. I have a few videos with real sailing and boating on the Irandar channel. Best regards.
Just ordered the plans thanks so much for the video you show a lot of detail a picture is worth a thousand words as they say. The part that will be hard for me is going to be hooking up the rigging from the sails to my servo steering arm as I have never done a sail boat. I cant seem to find a good picture or drawing of how to rig it I am hoping it is on the drawings.
I bought a less expensive servo-transmitter which had too little arm movement. I changed then to a winding servo which was ok. Actually one can sail Emma quite well with no sail adjustment. Just allow the boom about 45 deg. The rudder control is enough. I am now building Irene. Make sure you read through the Irene and Emma forums and the material I mention on the video. Also look at all of Gary's videos. Have fun. PS. Have you seen my RC gliding videos?
Hi RC Flyer, Are you building Emma? I am almost finished with Irene, the two- masted schooner. Have scaled it down to 80% linear, which gives about 50% displacement. So will be about the same weight as Emma, 6kg. Regards, Irving
Have a look at this video ruclips.net/video/601iP7YPyQA/видео.html and you can see how one servo controls two sheets for two sails. I have to finish my 80% Irene with a few hours for rigging and have just ordered plans for Annie and Regards
irandar ok I just wanted to ask because when I sail sometimes I have the jib out and the main in for turning if the wind direction changes from left to right or right to left
The plans called for an arm but in this reduced 80 percent I thought the drum would be better. Also I bought a cheaper radio and server which did not give enough travel.
The dimensions for Emma's keel are 15cm at top, 10.8cm upper forward edge, then angled to bottom, 54 cm trailing edge straight down to bottom, bottom is 6.4cm. Top and bottom are at right angles to trailing edge. Forward edge is right angles to top. but 10.8cm down is angled off to the bottom. There are holes at top for pins and holes near bottom for the lead. Hope it is clear.
I do not know of any websites for free plans. In fact, I am going to suggest that they raise the price for the plans. It is too cheap compared to all the other costs. Are you building something? Regards,
Came for the boat. Stayed for the music. Well done, Sir

Thanks for the reply I will check out your glider videos thanks Terry.

Don’t you need a third servo for front sail and the big sail so you have full control (sorry for my English I am Dutch )
There is enough sail control with lines to both sails (jib and main) using only one servo. The second servo is for the rudder. Your English is fine.
Oh wanted to say that the jib did not respond well because the line was too stiff.

Hello there can you tell me whats the name for the jig saw table? Looks like a time saving to me, thanks before
It is Wolfcraft as can be seen at 1:20 on the video. Very useful.
Tolles Boot! Verkaufst Du es? Bin aus der Schweiz.
great build! Do the plans call for a drum winch system for the mainsheet?
The plans called for an arm but in this reduced 80 percent I thought the drum would be better. Also I bought a cheaper radio and server which did not give enough travel.

I lost the size for the fin trunk, for Emma, can anybody help with that, i dont want to buy another set of plans just for this, thanks.

Can you please add links in the descripction to another good websites to download free plans?

Came for the boat left bacause of the music!
Ya can't please em all. Just turn off the sound.
the sail shapes are horrible; inefficient and ugly. You need to remake the sails, maybe with better material.
