I have obtained a set of old plans originally published in the 1940"s (from the look of the photos) for the "Kiltie", a Wee Six Class model of a 6 meter sailboat. It is 56 1/2" long with an 11 1/4" beam, and displaces about 25 pounds. The plans are complete with the sails and rigging for static sailing in a lake or pond. I intend to convert the model from a built-up "bread and butter" carved hull to a plank on frame type construction using plywood and basswood. I would like to convert it to RC control. I have considerable wood boat building experience (full size and models), but no experience with RC controls. Where can I find information on what to purchase, how and where to install the servos, etc. I would like to control both the rudder and sail trim. I am not interested in racing, but would enjoy a relaxing sail around the pond! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Ed
