I need to add a little weight to my boat, I think. Has anyone ever used 6 batteries in the boat? What will it do to the servo's? I assume it will give me more...
Most everyone is staying with a nominal of 6 volts. That is four alkaline cells (4x1.5 volts), or five nickel based cells (5x1.2 volts). Fresh or freshly...
If you use 5 aa btteries you will have sufficient power. If boat is light add led to boat by sanding where you want it and epoxy it in. You can go to 5aaa and...
Hello. The optimal solution is Rechargeable Alkalines in battery boxex/packs that velcro to the bottom of the hold. Bigger packs if you need to add weight;...

If you need to add weight and you don't have a power problem just add the desired amount lead on the centerline inside the hull at an appropriate location to...
Thanks all I am not having a power problem I just thought of extra batteries would mean movable ballast per the condition. Thanks once again to everyone. Mark...
Relative to batteries and movable ballast, keep the following in mind: From the RC Appendix: During an event and unless class rules specify otherwise, a)...
I am not sure we can get real exact on this. I would think inside the hull affixed to the bottom might be all we can ask. I know many people who have Velcro to...

...on the typical 6 inch sail arm? Presently, I just have a screweye at each end of the aliminum arm (Hitec 700 BB) but the small radius of the eye frame...
This past Monday eveneing at DMYC Sunset series, the winds toward the end of the evening got very light. At about this time my 5AAA died so I was forced to put...
FRANK, It is not legal to change the battery location or the weight of your boat during any night of racing. So with that said did you change your batteries or...
Doh!!!! I did not change the locaton and Ray reused to give me the 5 AAA in his boat. I would of walked to my car and got my other pack but it was too...
Jim, I am a Pekabe dealer, and I also supply custom carbon parts. If you can describe or send me a picture/drawing of the arm you want I can make it for you....
Hey Kurt, are you yanking Frank's chain again? Agreed, however, anytime someone wants to change from 5 AAA's to 4 AA's in a dying breeze, I'm certainly willing...
I've sailed with blocks and without, I prefer without. The Vic is small enough you don't need blocks on the arm and all of the potential problems that can...
How's this for a solution: I used the large black, plastic mast spreader (6" long) from the kit as a winch arm. Just chamfered the holes at either end for less...
The difference in weight between five AAA's and four AA's is what? About an ounce? In a boat the size/weight of the Victoria, a weight difference of an ounce...
Under nice brisk breezes they seem to be not of much use unless you count less friction/load. But when sailing in calm to very light winds the blocks actually...
Go and get beads from JoAnn fabricks and CA them in and it works great. Been using it for 2 1/2 years, and sailing 12 monthe a year for this time. Very very...
I'm tellin' ya'll that right now those screw eyes on my arm don't seem so bad after all...too bad they're not case hardened so the sheeting (Spectra 80#) won't...

Use beads and 80# pound is to heavy for sheet lines. I use 50# on all my boats even a mablehead and they do not break. What are you sheeting in the world. Way...
