To install the winch lines we need to power up the radio control
equipment in order to put the sails in the right position.
Install the 8 AA batteries in the transmitter and the 4 AA cells in the
battery case inside the yacht. Switch the transmitter ON
(from now
on Transmitter On first, off last to save any damage to your
yacht).
Move the left transmitter stick down to the lowest position;
this will be the sails in position. Switch the yacht ON.
Take the winch line on the rear deck of the yacht and tie it, with the
line quite tight, to the fitting on the main sail boom.
Now take the winch line on the front deck of the yacht and thread it
through the fitting at the end of the front sail boom, thread it then
through a sliding block, through the fitting near the front of the
boom and go back and tie it off to the sliding block with the line
quite tight. The reason this front sail line is adjustable is to allow the
yacht to be “balanced” on the wind while sailing. This is done by
adjusting the position of the front sail in relation to the mainsail,
with some trial and error you will see what a difference it makes to
sailing the yacht in a straight line without adding rudder control.
Try the left stick on the transmitter and get the sails to go in and out
and try the right stick left and right for the rudder operation.
Switch every thing off (transmitter last!)
