RC Land Yacht on the beach
Something a bit different to the usual gliders (But still RC and wind powered) This was the first try of my owndesign Land Yacht. The body is made from lightply, with carbon fibre tubes for the mast, boom, and axels. The wheels are from an old model aircraft. I gave about 45 degrees rake on the steering. The sail is made from ripstop nylon and operated using a hightorque servo. I may give the rear wheels some camber and adjust the sail slightly, but the test run went well. The wind was blowing about 1213 mph.
