uncleb Posted May 7, 2013 #1 Posted May 7, 2013 ok, i built an old laughing whale kit and rigged the servos by the plans, minimal as they were, but after seeing some of the pics here it would seem i lack alot of sail control. any RCers have any advice on this? completed AL HMS endeavor Laughing Whale Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack building Mauntua HMS bounty AL Courageux II awaiting attention AL Constellation AL Scottish Maid AL Independence
uncleb Posted May 8, 2013 Author #2 Posted May 8, 2013 i guess my question is this, does anyone have a diagram showing how to rig for jib and mainsail to the sail winch servo and what type of arm/wheel should i have on that servo? completed AL HMS endeavor Laughing Whale Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack building Mauntua HMS bounty AL Courageux II awaiting attention AL Constellation AL Scottish Maid AL Independence
qwerty2008 Posted May 8, 2013 #3 Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) I wish that I could help but I am having similar problems myself, if i figure it out I will try to pass it on. Edited May 8, 2013 by qwerty2008 "I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious." - Albert Einstein.
Walter Biles Posted June 13, 2013 #4 Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Uncleb and qwerty2008, I may have found a book that may help all of us RC Sailors get the information they have been seeking. "An Introduction to Radio Controlled SCALE SAILING MODELS" BY Phillip Vaughan Williams. I did a brief review on it in this section There are diagrams of servo-sail control in this book.
