I have wanted a boat forever and just discovered the R21 today. I have waited my entire life to find out that this boat exists and I sincerely wonder as I watch you drink coffee on the bow whether or not that’s all I’ve ever wanted.

There is nothing like spending a night on a cozy small boat. I may be getting too old to enjoy my beautiful sailboat (and the work!) quite as much as I used to and a Ranger 21 may be in my future. Thank you for sharing this great video!

@rockingbaby2013 4 ай бұрын
Indeed, so true, thank you very much. One of the nice features of the R21EC is the relatively shallow draft, only two feet. I do not know how big your sailboat is, but you should be able to visit the same shallow places on your new boat, should you decide to actually buy the small Ranger. Either way, enjoy your time on the water.

@@rockingbaby2013 Good morning! I will remember for the rest of my life the mesmerizing flight of my first free-flying glider. Oh my, I can watch and watch such a glider fly! A small pad for the horizontal stabilizer... you know ;) What a welcome, Polish model! It's surprising how small the world is. ;) Of course, I found it on the Internet 10 minutes ago. Thirty-five years ago, I assembled similar sets from the store, i.e. "Jaskółka", then "Zefira", then models with engines and so on. The passion stayed. I need to make something similar for my nephew. ;D Maybe there will be a relay? Best regards from Gliwice! ;)))

@@rockingbaby2013 But I want to! You can probably fly with such a model for hours without landing? Cool. Is this thermal model manageable? That is, can it be prevented from being carried away by rising currents? Once, during a modeling competition, participants "admired" the escape of a slightly larger model, the F1A. The model was worn in such a way that despite the de-determinator being turned on, it was still gaining height! It seems he flew 19 miles. Are you writing a film...? hmmm... hmmm ;D This week I made a pylon for attaching paratroopers to an RC electroglider. My nephews asked for paratroopers ;D The device even works properly ;) Microservo + corrugated cardboard from shopping cartons, I cut everything with an LED laser. Good opportunity... If I make a video and post it on YT, I will let you know first ;) Best regards.

⁠@@reflex04 Sounds like fun with the paratroopers. No, the electrified Fregata is rather heavy now for efficient gliding. I do not take her high as she promptly becomes hard to see . Also, the boom fuselage is not rigid enough for powered flight, so she is probably best to use as the designer intended. Enjoy your time with your nephew, I look forward to hearing from you.

Welcome to paradise! To me, Cedar Key is the most beautiful place on earth. You can windsurf there no matter the wind direction, and you will always find an interesting destination. The short chop adds to the excitement. If you like going the distance, you can venture all the way to Crystal River to the South, or Suwannee to the North. Have fun, keep surfing, and post a video or two. Happy Sunday
