ScaleSailing Kits

The ScaleSailing range of easy to build kits

'Kittiwake'

A bermuda rig Footy designed by Graham McAllister

'Kittiwake' is for 2 channel radio control, you control the rudder and the sail
position just like the full size craft. One standard and one micro size servos
are used, Hitec HS-55 micro servo recommended.

Construction is based on an accurate ScaleSailing foam core which you cover with thin plywood panels to form the hull. Most parts are laser cut for accuracy and ease of use. Comprehensive step-by-step building instructions include a photo CD containing over 100 construction and sailing photos. The CD will play on your computer and most DVD players.
	Despite their small size there is ample room for the radio control installation. The servo tray holds one standard servo to operate the sails, a micro servo to operate the rudder and the switch. A 4 cell 'AA' battery and receiver fit on the hull floor.

'Pintail'

A freelance lug rigged cabin cruiser just 12" long!
designed by Graham McAllister

'Pintail' is for 2 channel radio control, you control the rudder and the
sail position just like the full size craft. Two standard size servos are used.

Construction is based on an accurate ScaleSailing foam core which you cover with thin plywood panels to form the hull. Most parts are laser cut for accuracy and ease of use. The cabin is built from 1/32" laser cut ply panels and the deck is laser etched with planking detail.
	Finished with clear varnish the plywood glows! The hull can be clear varnished too or spray painted as you see here. Masts are wooden dowel. Rigging on the 'Pintail' is very simple, unclip one line and pull the mast out for transport, but Footy yachts easily fit on a car seat fully rigged...
