Review on RC-Controlled Blue Wind-Powered Sailboat: PLAYSTEAM Voyager 280 - 17.5" Tall by Scott Yenson

Way cheaper than 3d printing your own RC footy sailboat. No off the shelf kits for building a footy are even currently available, let alone a ready to sail one. This is it. There has been considerable debate on the internets whether RC sailboats under a meter long will even work. Or mysteriously only work if it is an overpriced discontinued Graupner Micro Magic. Obviously that is a bunch of BS. Small pond yachts have been sailing in ponds without issue for thousands of years, without needing corrective RC control for that matter. This one is very efficient / quick and likes wind under 10mph. There are real servos in the hull, one proportionally controlling both sails together and the other the proportional rudder. The battery that controls these servos and receiver is a tiny 125mah lipo that is charged by plugging it in to the back of the transmitter. It lasts in actual sailing conditions at least 45 min, which was the max length of my attention span for performing this retarded activity that people think is somehow really fancy. The hatch needs to be opened to plug in the lipo before and unplug it after sailing. Thankfully there is no through hull switch as those tend to fail frequently in RC boats. There is a tiny spring inexplicably holding holding the front of the jib sail on. Of the two of these foot long boats I have procured, I have replaced this thingie with some kite string and a knot which is what is usually expected here. Oh the humanity. People in the park have suggested I attach a taxidermy or live mouse to the deck of the boat. Told them Stuart Little was still on the fiction shelf the last time I checked.
