Discovery 500 RC Sailboat Ready to Run (USA Warehouse)

Discovery 500 RC Sailboat
A beautifully crafted R/C sailboat, fully built and ready to run.
All required items are installed, including mainsail winch, steering servo and all rigging, sail and hardware. All you need to do is add your own receiver and battery!
Boat hull is based entirely on an ocean going racing yacht and moulded in fibreglass with a perfect gelcoat and enamel painted finish.
Dont be mistaken in thinking these boats are slow and boaring. In a stiff breeze they can be extremely quick and perform turns rapidly, proving to be very exciting.

This kit comes pre-fabricated and all you need to do is connect the sail and include your own receiver!
The large servo winch and steering are already set up and ready to go!

I would like to know how we'll, or poorly this ship sails. I am an avid sailor of sloops and hope that it will give me a " sailing fix".

ANY 2 or more channel radio will work.

The sailboat will work on any 2ch transmitter or more. The boat is a great starter sailboat but be careful with the hatch I was sailing in pretty high winds and the hatch wasn't water tight so it sank.

Just recieved mine Fri. opened the box, this is a VERY small sailboat and looks like a childes toy. The detail is good and most of the assembly was already completed?. However the servo try had broke loose and was just floping around inside, will have to fix that. There is VERY little room to work inside the boat, and only a plastic cover covers the radio gear. This is a good sailing boat for a SMALL pond would NOT put it on a large lake, not sure how it would fair in larger waves. Will write more after fixing problems and making sure everything is in working condition.
Thanks

Have had this boat for several moths when I received it the servo tray was loose only required some epoxy to reattach it. Loads of fun sailing in both light breezes, and moderate wind. Only mod was to relocate the batteries they were being hit by the servo arms and added a waterproof on-off switch so the servo cover did not have to be removed each time. Servo cover needs some work to keep a good seal and easy access.
