I wanted a RC Sailboat, so I downloaded this design for free (thanks to the designer) : cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/...
I used these plans from Dragon Flite : dfracing.world/df95-boom-draw...
I uploaded my 3D designs (gooseneck, servo arm, rigging parts) on Thingiverse : www.thingiverse.com/dranre/de...

Nice job! Once I finish building our house I am going to get a 3d printer and do the same. Thanks for the inspiration. Cheers from Osoyoos, eh :) I think the fact that it was a model of a planing hull instead of a displacement hull, it may have had issues with turning. Planing hull forces change when you scale things down from real world size to model scale. The boat probably will not plane in the model scale, and may have problems turning. I think I'll make my model a displacement hull, something based on classic Americas Cup designs. Subscribed!

Thanks for your advice on this huge issue I had while building this model. While reading your comment I felt that you're right about this and I think I understand a little more why this problem is still not completely fixed. I will build another sailboat this winter. It's an S40 model. Good luck with your house build and thanks again. I'm happy to have a subscriber who sems to know something about boats? ;-)

It is a very difficult task to design and build an RC sailboat. You have started on a long and thoroughly rewarding endeavour. As you learn, you will implement improvements and see the result. I suggest you try a Kingmax SW22 winch. Same size as a standard servo but far more torque and pull than a servo with an arm. Keep designing and modifying.

Thanks for that suggestion. I will use this servo on my next build. ;-)

Thank you for the wonderfull design of the Dragonflite 95 sail. I have also been working on creating a 3D printed DF95 sail rig because it is not available for purchase in my area. but my work is not finished yet

What's it too heavy for?

@bernarddostie8892 7 ай бұрын

It's too heavy to go as fast as other boats of the same size. It's printed with 5mm walls and I think 2mm would've been sufficent. A competition sailboat like the DragonFlite 95 weighs only around 2kg (including 1kg of bulb). I thinks thats partially the reason I had to add a second rudder and that it still lacks manoeuvrability (in my opinion).
