TYPES Sport Sport boats are the most common type of boat amongst hobbyists. Scale Scale boats are replicas of full-size boats. They can be small enough to fit into your hand, or large, trailer transported models weighing hundreds of pounds. More often than not they are a minaturized version of a prototype, built using plans and/or photos, although there are variants of the hobby that utlized free lance designs. Another offshoot of this hobby is radio control submarines. Racing Racing boats are designed for maximum speed and manouverability. Half Hull Many Scale model boats are also constructed as half-hull profiles and mounted on plaques. POWER Sailboats Sailboat s use the power of Wind in large Sail s to move. Typically Sailing Boat s have two controls (commonly referred to as 'channels' in Radio Control ), one for the Rudder to steer the craft and one to control the Sail by drawing the sail in or letting it out. Power boats Power boats are typically electric or Internal Combustion , ( Ignition engine or Glow Plug R/C engine based) and some are Steam Powered . The power is commonly used to rotate a submerged Propeller , aircraft propeller or Jet which in turn provide the thrust to move the craft. Typically Power Boat s have two controls, Rudder , Outboard Motor or Stern Drive and Throttle control. |
