Hi JB,
I've added a couple of fixed end stops to the traveller as the easiest thing to try. They will help reduce the violent swing of the boom when it tacks. Just need a bit of wind to try it out now.. Graham93 ๐ Like

Hi Graham, you've got it tacking nicely,-any way you can make it adjustable, (pic, - would require another servo) or are you just going to add stops. If not adjustable, you might as well keep it around the center which will give you max inhaul on the wind, and help keep the boom down, but not quite as great running. Unfortunately, one of those necessary performance adjustment problems with models, which can't be fixed without a lot of extra 'string'. A boom vang may help a bit as well,

Nice video Phil ๐ Certainly was a battle in that wind. Watching the slo-motion video I think a few adjustments are needed to reduce the throw of the main sheet traveller.

The rudder servo is mounted on a slide made of two stainless steel rods and its pushed and pulled by a threaded rod connected to another servo.

Griss,
The Marx/Lindberg kits are plastic. The Dumas kits are wood. Mine is from a Lindberg 814 kit. My guess is that Rudy's has also got Lindberg lineage. Dave ๐ Like

Dave. Yes. Youโre correct. Itโs Dumas. Not Robbe which is now called Romarin by Krick. Looking at your photos the colour scheme is exactly the same as mine so it must be the Lindberg version too.
I still want to fit a Raboesh drive train with 3 blade C leaf props as the originals are of poor design. In fact Im working on a ball bearing shaft but the OD will be much higher at around 8mm for a 3mm shaft. She is light weight and starts to lean when going too fast but at 3/4 throttle she planes perfectly and gives off a diesel grunt. No sound module needed. ๐ Like

Interesting! I wasn't aware of the Robbe version. It is certainly possible, I have a Robbe Paula III, which is also a plastic hulled boat. I know that the Lindberg kits were at one time called Marx. I think Lindberg took over from Marx. I am quite sure mine is a Lindberg kit, because the motors are labeled Lindberg. I contacted the modern day Lindberg to see if they could help supply some of my missing components, but their response was simply "we don't support that boat any longer" sigh. I know Dumas also makes a Constellation, but that is not a plastic hulled boat.

I bought it second hand and also did some googling to the original kit. I also found the Lindberg to be similar but I believe Robbe also made one. ๐ Like

Rudy,
Isn't that a Lindberg 814 kit? I picked one up recently that was poorly built, neglected for years, and sold to me in an estate sale. It needs LOTS of TLC, but I am determined to get it back on the water. So far, I have (almost surgically) dismantled it so I can redo the poorly fitted seams and joints. Most of the stanchions were broken/missing, as is the roof panel over the cabin, and other smaller pieces. So it is quite the project. Seeing yours gives me the inspiration to keep at it. ๐ Like
