Race-sailboat Lazer

1,522 SlowSailor  4.1 years ago

Simple and small racer for winds between 10 and 20 mph. They are around 4,5 m in RL so this one is a bit bigger for stability reasons.

Controls

Roll: Stearing (rudder)
Pitch: Sail (up)
VTOL: Dead weight that's 'alive' to left and right

To start

10 mph wind is the easyest and I propose you start with that. When ypu start just loose your sail and wait until you've made some speed. Then turn the dead weight to the hight side and pull your sail in. It takes some practice but the joystick-function makes it really fun.
