I had the following comment in my product review and on the Hobby Squawk forum which I thought would have been addressed in this video. Although it sounds simple enough, the most difficult part was accessing the battery unit inside the hull to install the batteries. In the assembly section of this video, this part wasn't addressed and they were already in place without showing how to easily do it. I disconnected the wheel and the rudder assembly to be able to access the battery unit. This seems overly complicated and it would be great if there was an easier way. It was good that the video showed the wire attachments to attach the main sail to the mast. These aren't visible in the product photos nor are they easily located in the box. (mine ended up being thrown out with the box). However the same result can be achieved by using fishing line tied in a bowline knot. It is a great little sailboat and functions very well once it is set up. I have custom painted mine and have photos in the Hobby Squawk forum.

I just turned the battery holder horizontal and she slipped back in.

Looks like fun something you can do when you can't go fly!

[@MotionRC]

It's the opposite, when its too windy to go fly, its a perfect sailing day

[@victorrcjets7660]

@@MotionRC yes we get a lot of Santa Ana winds here in California. Typically the afternoons are best!

[@richardwalters3701]

maybe have a look at the main boom. It matbe upside down?

[@matthewbrothers2823]

I'm gonna go for the bigger one, always wanted to try sail

[@MotionRC]

I've sailed them both now and they are both really nice. Those videos are coming by next week

[@matthewbrothers2823]

@@MotionRC right on, I'm looking forward to seeing those. I've done everything from Jets, warbirds, sail planes, cars, trucks, crawler/trail rigs, air boats, and speed boats, so this would be something new to learn and that is the exciting thing.

[@MotionRC]

@@matthewbrothers2823 It is brand new for me as well but it was fun trying to catch the wind at the right angles and such. Very relaxing experience but would love to try and race with some others. On the hunt for a boating club

[@matthewbrothers2823]

@@MotionRC yeah, those are few and far between where I am, but fortunately I have some nice lakes and a wide open pond on my property. It would definitely be more fun to have others to run with, like we do the planes.

[@nikleiser5888]

@@MotionRC Thanks, we definitely want this Kit-Version, a smaller version would be nice too. Do you have Tugboats like Graupner Bugsier3?

[@MotionRC]

@@nikleiser5888 This is a brand new line for us. It will take time to add more, but we plan on having some of everything. Check the links in the description and you will see all we have and will have so far

Hi there, If someone doesn't know how to set this kind of sailboat up, then just take a look at the Micro Magic Basic Tuning Guide kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6jOaXeKpdmlrbs.

Nice unboxing but please address the ladies in your audience!
