RC Sailing Genoa test settings A-class (sheeting? look at the comments)

[@glennroberts461]

What about downwind? Or reaches? That's why I use two servos, one for in and out and one for port and starboard.

This is not a real genoa, it can work upwind but abeam and downwind the clew cannot be opened, it takes two engines.

grafwiloff I'm also very impressed. I sail both an IOM and an A Class. The IOM build is on KZbin but the A Class built by another member of my club is my preferred yacht. I'm impressed and would like to try it on an A class that I'm just about to start building myself. Would love to have some drawings, photos and information. Also any comments from you on how effective the Genoa is. My email is [e-mail]. Thanks

How does this system do downwind? I imagine the genoa is not going to be able to get out very far...

[@grafwiloff]

See my new videos. There you can see it.... 👍🏻⛵️

[@Mikeoats138]

How is the sheeting run? I'm trying to do the same idea for my genoa. But I can't figure how you have done it

[@grafwiloff]

Need your mail. I can send you fotos and a drawing and more information.
