Who has experience with these? I know a fella in FL that races them, but haven't seen him in a while.
I got to thinking that building a nice varnished beauty might be fun and to "sail" it off the transom at anchor might also be fun. Then I started to wonder how tough these might be to sail. I can say from first hand experience, flying an RC airplane is totally different and more confusing than the real deal. If I'm going to end up losing it or bashing it up, maybe a plastic fantastic kit is the way to go.
I could probably find a place aboard for one under three feet long, assuming the mast comes down. What kind of wind can they sail in?
Any suggestions on the best kits would also be welcome. (as if I need a new hobby or more to do when aboard
