Building instructions for the racing MICRO MAGIC model boat, Order No. 2014
Description of the model
The racing MICRO MAGIC has been developed to reflect progress in the MICRO MAGIC regatta scene. In its
standard form the boat represents a modified version of the original model designed for the ambitious regatta
skipper; it is intended to complement the earlier MICRO MAGIC, which has proved to be very popular. The
racing MICRO MAGIC includes a carbon fibre rig with a slim 5 mm Ø mast, improved sails and a completely
new set of high-quality plastic fittings. A new feature - unprecedented in a kit model - is the variable-position
keel (fore-and-aft direction), which enables the operator to adjust the model very quickly to suit varying sailing
conditions, and to satisfy the operator’s personal preferences. The revised keel fin and rudder are of slightly
reduced area and thinner profiles in order to reduce water resistance. The slightly heavier ballast bulb is also
longer, resulting in enhanced directional stability. The boat is designed for an RC system consisting of fairly
small, lightweight components, and the internal arrangement has been optimised with such a system in mind.
An additional micro-servo can also be fitted to provide jib sheet trim control from the transmitter, so that the sail
trim can be fine-tuned while the boat is on the water. The sail adjustment system has been designed for
reduced friction, with a double control arm and return pulleys, with the result that a lighter servo can also be
employed safely.
The shape of the bow and stern have been re-worked slightly to give the boat a more modern appearance, but
the basic lines of the original hull have been left unchanged in order to stay within the German class rules.
Due to the thicker material (1.5 mm instead of 1,0 mm) this boat version, racing MICRO MAGIC gains weight,
approx. 50 up to 60 g more.
