lol it's like a yacht but you use it on land. i've attached pictures of how it looks.
i was just thinking about it how it would be perfect here in PE because we always have wind  ;)

i've manage to find a few drawings if anyone wants to try and build there own rc land yacht. I just dont know what type of sail shape is required and servo's. I'm going to first try a 36g servo and hope it can handle the force.

Costs so far :

Roller Blade wheels : R50
Balsa Wood : R100
Servo's : R200 each
Sail Material : R20
Reciever : R120

The rest of materials i manage to find in the garage.

A decent RC yacht at a floatfly is a real hit amongst the early beer openers. Very relaxing no one will deny. However point me to the problem of wind and my solution is always Slope soaring! Even if you have to slope a tall building.
