2.
Attach the loop in the main sail downhaul to one of the shroud attachment eyes at the edge of
the deck and take the slack out of the line with the bowsie.
3.
Attach the jib pivot line to the forward deck hook with the metal ring and loop the line over the
aft deck hook and tighten the bowsie until the jib boom is approx. 1 cm above the forward hook
(Figure 10).
4.
Attach the backstay by placing the loop over the transom button. Take out the slack in the
backstay.
5.
Adjust the position of the jib forestay bowsie so that it is mid-way between the two metal rings
with the mast very slightly bent aft.
6.
Take out the slack in the topping lift.
Sheet line attachments:
1.
With the electronics connected to battery and receiver, itself bound to its transmitter energize
the system put the sail winch travel at fully close-hauled position. Using a colored marker mark
the main sail sheet line at a point approx. half way between the fairlead exit in the aft cockpit
and the main boom. Similarly mark the jib sheet line at a spot 2-3 cm from the fairlead exit on
the deck.
2.
Tie the sheet attachment clips to each line as close to the marks as you can get.
3.
When rig is installed and all lines are adjusted this is how the rig will appear (Figure 11).

The final “Ready To Sail” weight was 990 gm including my 5-AAA cell 1000 mah NiMH battery
and Spektrum AR6100e RX.
Sailing performance:
I gave the MM RTR its first sea trials in rather extreme conditions, very shifty and variable winds (0-12
mph,) on a short course racing against a fleet of fully competitive class legal boats. After some tuning
adjustments the RTR faired well in straight line sailing but the higher weight showed up as a slight
disadvantage in stop-go and quick maneuvering conditions. All in all I conclude that the new RTR Micro
Magic is very well built and can be rigged very nicely with supplied components. It will make an excellent
all around club boat and a good addition to the fleet. For the top class competitor the weight of the
boats is a concern unless Graupner lightens the hull and/or the Class makes Rule adjustments to
accommodate the new product offerings.
