Radio Sailing Plugging on the Futaba Receiver

If you are starting out and have not yet dug into the pot to look at the wiring…

This photo is a nice clear view of plugging Channel One and Channel 3 of the receiver. Channel one is the rudder ands Channel 3 is your sheets.

Another Take on Radio Controlled Marker Buoys….

For some time we have been experimenting with GPS Racing Marks. It’s early days for this type of technology. I suppose we feel it is promising, but not yet perfected.

Out of the blue, this video below has come up on YouTube. It’s a whole different way of looking at the same challenge. I suspect because of our very deep water (80 feet – no weed!) that it cannot work for us, but for loads of shallow water lake settings it could be a great answer.

Basically, it is a self propelled radio controlled buoy that drops and manages its own anchor. Clever.

Take a look and see what you think.
