.They should be extremely stable in heave(excellent altitude control). I'll be testing them in a few weeks.

RC 1/5 Scale AC50 Foiling CatamaranDiscussion in ' Multihulls ' started by WerpKerp , Apr 29, 2019 .  WerpKerp Junior MemberSo I bought a RC RG65, an BG Electronica, and have been using it to learn RC sailing. I've also caught the RC Foiling bug, though. I watched a few SailGP races, (Absolutely brilliant, by the way), and was thinking, would it be possible to build a giant-scale, 10ft long RC AC50 wingsail catamaran?  BlueBell . . . _ _ _ . . . _ _ _YES!  Doug Lord Flight ReadySure, this guy is still working on his version: Ac-86 build - RC Groups https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?1887900-Ac-86-build However, to do it right(so that it works) you'll have a lot of studying to do. Read the above thread all the way thru. Be sure to give A LOT of consideration to the practical aspects of such a large model-transport, stowage, rescue from capsize, depth of water to fly in, sailing location not polluted with weeds, COST, radio channels, servo systems capable of retracting and deploying a loaded foil quickly(1-1.5 seconds), foil system(altitude control-recommend wand controlled T-foils or UptiP foils instead of a scale system for simplicity of operation), wing design, battery weight and type( recommend litium iron(LiFE), battery chargers, sailmaker for jib, hull tooling,etc. I may be able to answer a few questions not covered in the thread. This will be a HUGE job both in time, effort, cost and study and PATIENCE. Good Luck and be sure to learn and have fun! Look around on RC Groups Sailboats forum(above) and the German RC Multihulls forum: Multihulls http://www.rc-network.de/forum/forumdisplay.php/166-Mini-40 ====================== Altitude Control: See posts 14 and 15 in the RC Groups thread--I wrote both of them and they give you an overview of using wand controlled foils which are VASTLY simpler than trying to manually(by radio) control the angle of incidence of the main foils which would be the exact scale solution. Using UptiP foils would require very little control input if they are well designed BUT they would require(probably) lifting the windward foil as you tack or gybe. The reason I am interested in constructing such a large model was, first and foremost, because it would look, as the kids say, hella dope, and because many of the videos of Mini40s and smaller RC foilers I watched showed that they were rarely able to maintain a stable flight, often being knocked down by waves. I thought maybe a larger vessel, with more mass and inertia, could maintain a smoother flight? Did you look at Ian Holts boats? They seem to be pretty good and are the only RC foilers now being produced. Foiling radio control trimarans https://www.boatdesign.net/threads/foiling-radio-control-trimarans.55840/ ------------- You're pretty much right about size but it depends on where you want to sail and other factors including the type of foil system. The production foilers like Ians are mostly surface piercing foilers with altitude controlled by speed. That means the foils don't actively add to RM. Ian was working on a foiler with a wand based altitude system-if that's perfected it might be a good choice if it works well because the foils automatically increase RM as necessary. The 19 year old F3 trimaran foiler used wands but it was patterned after the fullsize RAVE so it had a wave height limit where it would bottom out. Worked well in smooth ponds but had trouble in the intercoastal. The foil height wasn't adjustable but could be on a "modern" version. Wand based foilers using the Bradfield system are best if they are designed for the place you want to sail. The bigger, the more versatile it will be. These wand based foilers are the only type of foiler* with automatic altitude control that uses the foils to generate most of the RM-a good thing for a model foiler. * With the exception of the Hobie Trifoiler type designed by Greg Ketterman that uses dual independent "feelers" out in front of the boat that act as surface sensors. If you want a cat then I'd suggest doing one with a wand based altitude control system. Decide on size after you've done a lot more studying and evaluating the tradeoffs. The F3 foiling tri was 56" LOA and 72" wide. The Fire Arrow foil system may be the best system for rough water especially if you look at the large fullsize tri's that use the system but neither of these tri's is an "Americas Cup" boat or an F50 type. But you could do an F50 type cat using a wand based foil system instead of a scale manual/electronic system. A tri makes a better RC model multihull, in my opinion. Also, where could I find good AC50 drawings? I've only found ETNZ AC72 drawings here; Chevalier Taglang: Scoop: AC72 Drawings unveiled http://chevaliertaglang.blogspot.com/2013/06/scoop-ac72-drawings-unveiled.html WK, if you want a spectacular model that will impress to the max, why don't you consider a scale or semicale model of the 100' Gitana 17 or one of the other ULTIM trimarans: Gitana 17-100' Trimaran Foiler-Launch 7/17/17 https://www.boatdesign.net/threads/gitana-17-100-trimaran-foiler-launch-7-17-17.58231/page-10 You get a spectacular model with a super foil system and proven capability.

Its superior Flysafe ® active foil control system autonomously supports the stable horizontal flight position in the longitudinal and lateral direction. The 4 T-Foils do not have to be operated by the sailor during sailing. Average skilled dinghy or catamaran sailors with some trapeze experience can safely foil with the iFLY15 after only a few hours. Quick access – the immediate sensation of success – steep learning curve. In the hand of an experienced sailor, iFLY15 offers a whole new sailing experience with previously not experienced speeds and agile maneuverability. The flight control system, combined with numerous fine-tuned innovations , ensures safe foiling even in strong winds and rough seas.. Stable flight attitude allows pushing hard, so in good conditions, iFLY reaches high boat speed beyond 30 knots in a controllable way. IFLY15 offers freedom to fly alone or in pairs. Due to the exclusive use of high-tech materials , iFLY15 is extremely rigid and weighs less than 90 kilos ready to sail. With its low weight and its state-of-the-art hydrofoils, it is airborne in winds as low as 2Bft. / 6 Knots. iFLY15 has a length of only 15 feet, is easy to transport, quick to get ready to sail, and can be easily slipped from the beach using a conventional beach trolley.

About RC Foil Sailing. Building on from 45 years of sailing a multitude of yachts from racing dinghies to keel boats I started sailing radio yachts in 2002 initially buying a Seawind plastic kit but soon progressing to the 1.0m and Marblehead class winning 3 National titles. I still enjoy sailing my Marblehead 15 years later.

The FINAL rule released in June 2015, set the length of the full size boat at 15m or 49.2'. instead of 48. My proposal (based on an earlier suggestion by John Xman) is to adopt the same change for the model: Length 1.5 m or 4.92 ' (59"). The AC guys are calling their boat the AC 50-in my opinion we should call this boat the "AC 50RC".

the ifly racing version enables even higher performance, to sail in extremely tough conditions and allows sailing with xxl rigs. the main difference between the ifly15 one design and the ifly razzor pro is a bigger racing rig, special foils and the main foil differential (mdt), which is manually trimmed by the sailor.the mdt is working hand in hand with the flysafe® dynamic foil control system.
The FireDragon is a slim hulled Trimaran designed by Roland and build by RCSails. The boat has slim floats from our Nightmare X and a new only 11.5 cm wide slim main hull. With the T-foil rudder the FireDragon is fast and stable. The boat can be equipped with V-foils. Have a look at the pictures and the video clips of the prototype.
Some links to videos are here. Most of the boats are from the Mini40 class, which is a 1/10th model of the 40ft class raced in Europe in the late 1980s. So the boats can be 1.22m long and 1.22m wide with a max sail area of 0.9sq metres. - Wing tips are on #46 tri.

The Mini40 in the Untied States called the F48 Class is the most popular model multihull sailboat class. The class is a experimental class ,the boats can have a maximum length and width of 122cm or 48 inch and a maximum sail surface of 0.9 sqm. The class is raced in Europe, the United States, Australia and New Zealand. In the recent time first Mini40 Class hydrofoils have envolved.
