I've had my V32 a few weeks now, and had a problem each time I've sailed. I'm a newby to both RC and to model sailing, so I'm not sure if it's me, or the...
Dick, While generally it's true that the Tx (transmitter) antenna works best parallel to the Rx (receiver) antenna, I've never experienced the loss of contact...
Dick, I would think that 75 feet is not much range for the average radio system, especially if your receive antenna runs up the mast. I would make sure that ...
Dick, I had a similar problem, although I never lost control it would just twitch a lot, let out the sail, and suddenly turn full left. It happened a little...
Thanks Ralph. I would hope some of the wire dress and layouts are not the problem, since I received my gear directly from Victor assembled. It is certainly...
Hello, When I built my first V-32K, My radio didn't work at all. When I called Victor they told me that I would have to contact Hi-Tec. :( Hmmm. Long story...
Doc: I liked your input on the signal loss problem. Your PS about antenna length sent me searching for test information. Found this great little report on RC...
Ralph, Thats a prety good article. It's basically factual for what it says but leaves the 'why', and a few other aspects sort of 'hanging'. With model boats...
Dick, If all those items on your radio check out okay, and you have not made modifications (as I did) then contact the distributor. You have 90 day warranty...
Dick, Ralph, and all, 90 day warranty on radio or not, contact Mike at Hitec service dept and I would be amazed if they didn't warranty a check and or a fix. I...
Dick, I just thought of some other possiblities I thought I'd share. Another issue I just thought of is possible channel conflict in the area. Mike Mayberry of...
Hi all! I am really not in a position to recommend or advise - as I am a beginner at this - but..........my antenna is stretched horizontally through the hull...
Hi there everybody! Just to make it easy to rig and unrig the V-32k's that I build, I have installed a small coffee stirrer straw on the mast. Since my antenna...

Bill, I seriously doubt if the batteries are the problem. It sounds more like the servo is in a 'bind' for some reason (no idea how/why). The type of battery...
Cochran, We have two Vic 32 sailboats, and the Hitec servos in both boats make a small grinding or chattering noise with no load, even with 6 volt NiMH 5-cell...
Hello Ralph! Could you post some pictures of the battery layout you are talking about. It sounds pretty fascinating. Mark Anderson #5062 & #5138 Sharon Kanko...
Thanks Ralph. Now I have a new problem. I lost complete control of the boat yesterday. I had not steering or sail control. After I finally retrieved the boat,...

I talked to Victor Models and they think the batteries are "stale". They think they are old and need replaced. So I will check them and see if that is the...
Mark, I can post some photos of the battery installation. Do we have a public URL place to put them that is associated with this mail group? If so, where is...
Are any Vic 32 skippers located in or near Grand River, OH. I will be there on Saturday, Aug 27, with my Vic 32 and would like to sail with anyone nearby. ...
