Oops, I did it again. :) Went out and bought a second RC sailboat. This one is a 36" Nirvana. It stands about 5 feet tall from ballast to the tip of the mast. Not quite a professional racer, but still enough fun to and big enough to play with and have some fun. Best of all, now Alexander and I both have boats to play with. He's adopted the Nirvana as his own and nothing is going to dissuade him from it. He even named it the 'Mantis' (from Kung Fu Panda). ;)
We took it out the other day and it seemed a bit weak on the servo's and the line setup for the sails looks a little like a Rube Goldberg contraption , but all in all we had a blast.
I don't have a pic yet, but here's the boat...
