Tesla and the First Remote-controlled Boat
Born in 1856, Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor and engineer. He is best known for his contribution to the design of an alternating current electrical supply system.
Positioning the Ballast
If your boat is to float level, this ballast must be in the right place, and the position can be found simply, without arithmetic computations.
Electronics Board Layout
This layout is simple, practical, and greatly reduces the chance for a sheet to get caught on items mounted on the electronics board.
Wind Indicator
We have tried all types of wind indicators from very fancy to quite simple. This one works pretty darn well and is simple to make.
