Hello All,
First post, so little introduction.
Been into full size sailing all my life, up and down English Channel with family etc.
Family now got their own boats, and myself and wife have moved to West Cork in Ireland.
Only single handing in Drascombe Lugger now.
So, having also been into RC gliders for many years, thought it was time to change to RC model yachts.
Just as in intro, I've ordered a cheap 1 metre (not sure it measures for IOM) from HobbyKing.
Still waiting for it to arrive.
But it strikes me there will be a need for some instrumentation aboard.
Not easy to sail 'seat of the pants' like I always did full size.
So is there any ready made model sailing system available?
Only really need wind direction and water speed.
Wind speed would be nice.
Done the usual Googleing but haven't found anything usefull.
The systems that are available seem to be firmly aimed at speed boats.
All ideas welcome.
Perhaps there is an Arduino based system or something like that?
Cheer,
Ron
