1. Mast Head Crane Modification:
On Laguna Lake we need a long pole to launch and retrieve our boats. With the Pole we managed to break several of the Cranes. Paul Genshaw came up with this approved Modification and solved our problem. The how-to illustration is found in the Photos section.
2. Sails and Booms Trimming Chart:
3. Our CR Recommend Parts List (What to Buy):
The CR kit comes complete with the radio. Check the link to Chesapeak Performance Models @ http://rcyachts.com/ You can also select the amount of pre-build that you prefer. Additional stuff you need:
3.1 -The Radio is included in the kit. With your order you will need to specify an Open Frequency from the 'Frequency List' that follows.
3.2 - Make sure to add a 'Bumper' to your order. It is required on your boat.
3.3 - 13 NiMh AA size Batteries; 2000 mAH capacity, or higher, are recommended.
3.3.1 - 8 of the Batteries are used in the Transmitter.
3.3.2 - The others are used to build a 5-cell Battery Pack for the CR. See Section 6 below for a photo. We will help you with this step.
3.4 - Charger. A Futaba wall block charger works well and takes 24 Hours to complete a full charge from fully drained. There are many options for Fast-Chargers.
3.5 - Two Single Pulley Blocks; one is used for the Sail Servo Arm, and one for the Sail exit line. These are optional but have held very well for us. We use the #164 PeKaBe Blocks; an alternate is # 253, by KDH
3.6 - Finish:
3.6.1 - Krylon 'Fusion' Paint. This is a good choice, and does not require priming.
3.6.2 - Decals of yourr choice. Many sources are available.
3.7 WELCOME and HAPPY SAILING!
