RC Sailboat Controls – Radio Layout, Radio Setup

RC Sailboat Controls are rather different then your typical Radio Control.

We will first look at what channels on the radio control transmitter, control which part of the RC Sailboat and then we will look at the specific setup concerning the radio gear on an RC Sailboat.

Transmitter Channels and Controls – RC Sailboat Controls

The most common type of transmitter for RC Sailboats are the stick type transmitters . The stick type transmitter allows the ease of use over the sail control. On a stick type transmitter referring to the image below, the left

side channel, typically throttle on an airplane controls the Sails. Moving the left side stick up or down would draw the sail in or let the sail out. Motion on the stick is vertically.

The stick on the right hand side controls the rudder on the RC Sailboat. The rudder channel operates as like any other rudder channel. Motion on the stick is horizontally.

These two channels are the required minimum for RC Sailboat Controls. You can see all the extra switches and controls on the radio to the right. These may be used for controlling those fancy features on your RC Sailboat. In some cases these extra features include alternate lighting, winches, or anything else to make the sailboat appear and operate more scale like.

Radio System Controls – RC Sailboat Controls

RC Radio Receiver

RC Radio Receiver

Now that we have talked about the transmitter we will look at the rest of the components that are required in order to run an RC Sailboat. The component that is responsible for talking to the transmitter is the receiver. The receiver is what talks to the transmitter and then converts the radio signal to an electrical signal that can be used to control the rudder and sails of a sailboat. The reciver can be purchased with the transmitter if you choose to take that route. Purchasing a transmitter/receiver combination is more common when building your own boats.

Receiver Battery – RC Sailboat Controls

To power the radio equipment a standard receiver battery is required. This is a battery that operates on 4.8-6.0v. Although a 4 cell disposable AA case can be used, it is highly recommended for an RC sailboat to use a rechargeable battery . The main reason is to ensure the battery pack can supply a sufficient amount of current to the servos. For larger RC sailboats a rechargeable battery is a requirement. The average user would use a 4.8-6.0v NiMh pack however LiFE, Li-ion, LiPo packs are available but be certain to include a Voltage Regulator in your system to limit the voltage.

 Sail Servo – RC Sailboat Controls

The most important servo for an RC Sailboat is of course the Sail Servo. The sail servo comes in two different styles that are most common. Each style has its own specific set of advantages and disadvantages. The first  style of sail servo that we will talk about is the sail winch servo.

The sail winch servo as pictured on the right hand side uses a drum like wheel to house the sail line. When the drum rotates the line is either let out or brought in. The Sail winch servo typically allows for 3 rotations of the drum with

Sail Servo Winch -  Sail Servo - RC Sailboat Controls

Sail Servo Winch –  Sail Servo – RC Sailboat Controls

torque specs around the 150 oz-in / 11 kg-cm. The biggest difference is that these torque specs are at a relatively short distance from the center point of the drum. This small distance increases the amount of torque relative to the next sail servo type that we will be looking at.

Sail Winch Servo Advantages:

  • Amount of force generated to pull in the sails
  • Amount of  total line length (travel) that can be brought in – approximately 3 revolutions of the drum
  • Relatively Small Space Requirement, even with larger servo sizes

Sail Winch Servo Disadvantages:

  • Slow Reaction time relative to transmitter input as winch must rotate up to 3 times

Sail Arm Servo - RC Sailboat Controls

Sail Arm Servo – RC Sailboat Controls

The other Sail Servo style is the arm type . The arm type sail servo uses quite a long arm in order to get an acceptable amount of line draw. As you may expect this operates nearly the same as a standard servo where the only difference is the servo arm itself. For a typical one meter Sailboat, you would require a servo of this style that has at least 150 oz-in / 11 kg-cm of torque as a minimum. This style servo requires more torque then a winch servo as the amount of force produced at the end of the arm is reduces due to the length of the arm.

Sail Arm Servo Advantages:

  • Very quick response time vs the Sail winch Servo
  • More servo options as any standard servo can be used with a long sail arm. Options for very high torque servos are available
  • Line has less chance of getting tangles or wrapped upon itself as compared to the winch style servo

Sail Arm Servo Disadvantages:

  • Require a lot of space due to the radius of the outer point of the sail servo arm
  • Lower amount of Line Draw force due to length of Arm requiring higher torque at the servo for equal performance that of a winch style servo
  • Generally has a smaller total line length(travel) that can be brought in resulting in lower amount of sail movement (travel)

As an RC boat enthusiast, the right transmitter can make all the difference in the world when it comes to how well your boat performs. That’s why it’s important to find the best RC transmitter for boats. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, there are several factors to consider when choosing the right transmitter. It should have sufficient range and signal strength, the ability to control multiple channels and a user-friendly design. With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to decide which one is right for you. Here are some of the top options to consider when looking for the best RC transmitter for boats.

Choosing the Best RC Transmitter for Boats: Features to Consider

  • Range and Signal Strength:

Having a good range and strong signal strength are crucial features of an RC transmitter for boats . The further the transmitter’s range, the better the overall performance of the boat. Some transmitters might provide a range of 500m while others can reach up to 1km . Strong signal strength also means that the signal will pass through obstacles, such as trees, without interference. The transmitter should also be able to operate in different environments, including high electromagnetic interference areas such as parks and urban environments.

  • Ability to Handle Multiple Channels:

Transmitters should be able to handle multiple channels . It’s important for the RC boat to have multiple channels in order to operate different boat functions such as speed , rudder control , and trim control . Most transmitters come with at least 4 channels , while others come with up to 12 channels .

  • Ergonomics and Ease of Use:

Ergonomics is an important feature of an RC transmitter. A high-quality transmitter should be comfortable to hold, and buttons should be easy to press without slipping or sticking. Also, the LCD display should be user-friendly and easy to read. Some transmitters also come with triggers that provide a more natural operating environment rather than awkward sticks.

About Futaba

Founded in Japan in 1948, Futaba has a long history with RC starting with manufacturing radio receiver vacuum tubes. Futaba began designing, manufacturing, and selling RC transmitters in the early 1960s and they continue to be an industry leader in RC transmitters, RC servos, and RC receivers to this day.

Futaba RC products have been responsible for countless world championships. Their innovative products start with the heart of Futaba – the RC transmitter. In addition to the modern pistol-grip RC transmitter for surface vehicles, Futaba also makes a feature-packed, 8-channel joystick RC transmitter for surface and air. Their RC aircraft transmitters go up to 18 channels and some models include telemetry and even touch LCD screens in full color.

Futaba servos come in different scale sizes from micro to large-scale with high torque and high speeds for maximum performance. Futaba makes servos for surface vehicles and aircraft including wing servos and landing gear servos so that you’ll have the right servo for your application.

Futaba receivers serve as the go-between from the transmitter to the servos. Futaba receivers work fast to give you maximum control over your RC vehicle or airplane. Some of their RC aircraft servos come with telemetry capabilities to keep you informed on the performance of your RC airplane or helicopter. Futaba receivers also come in a variety of channels to meet the demands of high-performance RC vehicles and aircraft.
