I have posted in whats in the box but thought i'd pop some pics here to show off my new acquisition it's a Blackstar 12.5 footy with 2 rigs 130sq in. and a light air at 200sq in. and a Tactic 2.4 radio Hitec HS-81 servos all included and ready to sail just add batteries.

Nice boat! ... I've often been tempted to make a Footy as there are so many free plans available from people like Roger Stollery, that it's possible to get up and sailing for very little and the class really has scope for those wanting to experiment in boat design. ... Here are some free plans if anyone wants to have a go... http://footy.rcsailing.net/plans.php (http://footy.rcsailing.net/plans.php)
