Glad I stumbled onto this video.. I was fighting with the instructions as well.. I fumbled through them with you.. now just need some good weather to test it out 👍
I have only put it in the water a few times since this video, it is a fair run to get to the nearest suitable water. You need a good depth to clear that keel. It performed fine, bearing in mind I have never tried an RC sailboat before 😊
34.47 "Struggling now" - exactly the point at which I searched YT for a video to help me with the rigging! Glad to have found yours - let's see how things go from here on in!
Good luck, in truth the instructions were fine, I just have trouble following instructions. The boat works fine, but I have only put it on the water 3 times. Just don't seem to have had the opportunity so far this year. There is a link to my playlist in the video description, so you can see what I have done with it (not much) 😊👍
@@GrandadsOtherChannel Thanks! All sorted. Will have to wait a few days until getting it on the water. My son and I are both looking forward to it. Take care.
Mine just got delivered today - I’m looking forward to watching you “unleash the Dyneema cord” and tie all those “bowsies”! Hopefully I’ll be offending the classic Freesailers soon!
Good luck, I have only put it in the water 3 times. I just don't seem to get the time and the weather to coincide at the moment. It is also a fair drive to the nearest suitable lake.
Well I didn’t get far before I fell asleep …… and for anyone who reads this ant thinks I’m being rude it’s the complete opposite I just get so relaxed with his voice x
I just fitted the keels on my two boats. I sealed it with silicone. Both keels fell off within 2 hours! I must have missed the hole for the setscrew! Boo Hoo . Working with Alzheimers is good therapy? And the eyes going for the fiddly bits! Trying again today. But will line it up using a longthin stick. Yippee . Nil Carborundrum Illegitimus I am 68 on Thursday and hope to have a regatta,,,,,,
If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have ever done it !Turned out great. The directions were a bit confusing.Thanks again!
Thanks, glad it helped 😊
Aaaaaagreed

The job sale about 31 mins in here was where I got stuck. Thanks!
THANK YOU

Really cool sailboat, James! :)
Thanks, Max, just need a nice pool to sail it. It needs a good depth with that keep.

You deserve a medal 🥇🏅🥈🥉😆👍
Excellent. 👍👍👍
Thanks Mike.
hi G...
'

i have 2 R/C boats are firehawk and traxxas villain
First thing: clear off the table for a good work space.
That simply never happens 😂

Whoa, I assume you didn't lose the keels. If they dropped off in deep water, you would be stuck.
I can’t get the back sail
And this doesn’t help much sorry 😕
I am only following the instructions, I am no expert.
I didn’t get the right instructions
That is bad luck
You got the instructions for nothing being prebuilt.. but the kit now comes with all cords precut etc.. that’s they confusing part.
