How much is an RC boat?

This will depend on the exact model and brand of your RC boat. The price should be reflected depending on the quality and ability you want from your RC electric boat.

What size brushless motor for RC boats?

When choosing the right brushless motor for your RC boat, you must ensure that the correct motor size is determined to fit the weight and size of your hull. Below are some basic starting points for a single-motor RC electric boat;

  • 28-29mm can power hulls up to 600mm
  • 36mm can power up to around 800mm
  • 40mm can power up to 1200mm as long as it's a light brushless motor or abs hull.
  • Anything over 40mm will require a 56-58mm motor.

Can RC boats go in salt water?

Essentially, you can use your RC electric boat in salt and fresh water when the proper maintenance and precautions are met. However, while RC model boats in Australia are operational in salt water, it's important to remember that salt water is extremely corrosive and can damage your RC model.

How do RC boats work?

Your remote-controlled model boat is powered by an electric motor at the front of the boat, which is connected to a shaft that runs to the back of your RC boat and out through the bottom of the hull. Your radio transmitter will send signals to your boat, which will then be interpreted and translated into directions for your boat.

We have an extensive collection of remote control boats. Ranging from sailing to electric and even military patrol boats, you will find the perfect product for your sailing pleasure and will be happy that you chose Metro Hobbies when you buy your very own RC boat.

FOR BEGINNERS TO EXPERIENCED SAILORS

We look to celebrate Australia’s rich maritime history by crafting a diverse and captivating collection of  ship models, representing vessels that traverse the globe to reach the nation. Our collection spans from ancient Australian vessels to ships from corresponding eras, capturing a broad spectrum of naval history with meticulous attention to detail.

Achieve Your Potential in Competition IOM Sailing

Vickers RC Sailing

75472874_10157751310012277_7807677101569

Producer of the V11 Competition International One Metre Design by Ian Vickers.

Our workshop opened in 2014 with the V8 IOM. Since then we have produced hundreds of hand crafted IOM yachts in the Vickers design range. Yachts that have helped IOM competitors around the world achieve their potential and exceed expectations in competition.

We are currently offering the V11, the innovative design that finished 3rd at the 2019 World Championships in Port Alegre, Brazil.

When our clients return, they know they are tapping in to smart, competitive technology in IOM design and build. Stiff, Lightweight boats, that are Easily Assembled, Fast and Forgiving to sail. Join the fun!

74610097_10157751310757277_6331301249123

Improve your results at the club and the regatta, with the fast and forgiving V11 from Vickers RC Sailing

IMG_6642.jpg

Set Up and Sail

The V11 detailing is simple but effective. In conjunction with the V11 Set Up Guide, assembly is straight forward, and vital tuning information assists you to quickly understand and master your V11's potential

IMG_6609.jpg

Vickers RC Sailing build processes are well refined and thought out.

Our boats are light, stiff and clever,  keeping to a simple and effective philosophy around detailing

The V11 design is a hull, foils and bulb package to compliment the full range of conditions experienced in RC Sailing. The hull design has full volume forward and features the familiar chines and tumblehome of the modern IOM for reduced weight and windage, as well as good tracking characteristics. The V11 features our peaked style foredeck for efficient water shedding when buried downwind and a geometrically strong shape for the forestay and mast ram areas.

Foils are slippery and strategically positioned with the rig to balance the yacht. The V11s forgiving balance through the wind range, allows the skipper to focus on the race at hand, and not rely on micro steering to maintain a consistent VMG.

The rig sits solid on its deck stepped mast step, complimented at deck level with an encapsulating mast gate arrangement over the mast ram. The rudder tube is rigidly supported inside the moulded servo tray. 

Hull construction is from E-Glass Fibreglass Cloth and High Grade Epoxy Resin.

The foils are Carbon Fibre Layup with High Grade Epoxy Resin.

Paint system is a 2 pot Urethane and the boat is thoroughly post cured before finishing.

The V11 Features-

Plastic main hatch access. 

Ready to accept RMG Winch and Standard sized Rudder Servo

Bow Bumper attached.

Hardware is Bantock including an adjustable mast ram, adjustable mainsheet post and tiller arm.

All necessary fittings attached for standing and running rigging.

The V11 comes out of our workshop in Beach Haven, Auckland New Zealand and is ready to accept rigs and electrics.

We also make sails that can be added to the order, or ordered separately.

So hit the enquiry button to discuss delivery times and options.

We are ready to help.

IMG_6638.jpg

Essential to success in sailing comes down to the  Rig and how it is set up and tuned. The V11 comes with a Set Up Guide that covers all the expert information needed to set up like the guns. It specifies the hardware, construction and tuning information to get your rig and sails set up and sailing near optimum straight off the bat, so you can enjoy your racing and punch above your weight.

Include Sets of sails from Vickers RC Sailing and enhance the experience.

IMG_6611.jpg

Vickers Rc Sailing is back taking orders again for the V11

We look forward to hearing from you

RC Laser 2024 Nationals Wallaroo

With Christmas and the holiday season coming up we wanted to give you a timely reminder of what a great event the Wallaroo 2024 RC Laser Nationals are likely to be. Here is the link to the Notice of Race for the event showing the planned sailing schedule.

The event will be sailed using the SHRS scoring system under the direction of RO, Stewart Ross. This scoring system means that less experienced sailors get more time sailing with the top sailors and also get the opportunity to compete for a trophy in the silver fleet in the second half of the titles.

Peter Elverd (vice commodore Wallaroo SC) and Neville Hank and other WSC members will turn on a social program that you will enjoy in sailing club facilities that you will love. There will be a sit down meal at the club on Friday night and a barbecue again at the club on Saturday night.

There will be members of both Wallaroo SC and Mawson Lakes MYC present to ensure that the event runs smoothly. All this in an environment where the emphasis will be on fun and enjoyable sailing.

What more could a RC Laser sailor want for the new year?

Have a good Christmas and we hope to see a good number of you at Wallaroo from May 3-5, 2024. And by the way if you want to make a 3 week holiday of it RC Lasers are featured at the SA Masters Games at Wallaroo on April 11-12.

Please pass this message on to other RCL sailors who you think may be interested.

Adrian Heard on behalf of the MLMYC RC Laser sub-committee

2023 RC Laser NSW Titles Report

Dobroyd Aquatic Club hosted the 2023 RC Laser NSW Titles over the weekend of 19020 August. 15 Sailors competed in a very successful event over 16 races.

There was a range of weather conditions which proved a fair test in all aspects of RC sailing. Both days had mostly clear skies and temps around the low 20’s.

Day 1 provided very strong winds, mostly from the West. The wind speeds averaged 17 with gusts to 41 Km/Hr, (9 up to 22 Knots). The Fleet chose “C” sails and they lasted for the day’s sailing.

The sailing was very competitive. Under the watchful eyes of Race Officer Paul Martin. A couple of General Recalls set the scene for some great racing.

An early leader, Graham Brown, stamped his prowess with a few wins. Graham showed no easing and continued to win every scoring race for the day. Second in contention was Peter Close who was the main challenger and won the remaining race. Peter scored many places and secured second place at the end of day 1. The only other sailor in contention was Noel McPherson. Noel took many places to position comfortably in third place. We completed 9 races in good time.

Day 2 presented very light winds which brought out our “A” sails. Our Club weather station recorded 4 to 14 Km/ Hr, (2 to 8 Knots) for most of the afternoon. A late wind change from the North had many instant sail changes, a mix of “B” and “C” sails came out with “C”’s proving a better choice for some. The wind peaked at 27 Km/Hr, (14 Knots).

Graham Brown was virtually untouchable as he continued his dominance on the water. Graham won all remaining races except for a second place in race 12. A tangle in race 11 had a potential DNF which was corrected with a redress, giving Graham 1.2 points. Graham totalled 14.2 points for 13 scoring races and a superb win for the gold medal. 

Peter Close continued from Saturday with his high class sailing. Peter had another win and many places, to be unchallenged and to earn his second place and the silver medal. I (Brian Chapman), continued with my early success. After an overall placing of 5th after day 1, my aim was to hope for a fourth. Rob Lowndes, a very skilful sailor in any field was the challenge. Good fortune and staying out of trouble gave me a win in race 12. I was delighted to take third place by a count back and the bronze medal.

There were many good performances on both days. Bruce Hilliard and Martin Thearle won a race each. Noel McPherson looked to have locked in third place, but after an uncharacteristic off day, scored equal points for third. A count back gave Noel fourth place overall. Many sailors had some pleasing results. Rob Lowndes, Bruce Hilliard a win, Richard Thorpe, Martin Thearle a win, David Page our visitor from PRYC, Narelle Derwent and Geoff Lucas (unable to sail day 2), all had one or more places in a very strong field.

There were many who made this day possible, and a great success.

Our Race Officer, Paul Martin, who made a couple of trips down from the Blue Mountains to officiate. Thank you Paul. Jill Brown, our scorer provided another nicely legible sheet. Thank you Jill. Matt and Richard, our boat crew, provided the course settings and the many adjustments as required by the Race Officer. Thank you Matt and Richard. John Porter, our DAC sailor, volunteered to video our days on the water. Thank you John. These will be forwarded when completed. David Page travelled from Queensland to compete. Thank you David, a great effort. Along with Noel McPherson and Graham Brown, our format from previous events again worked well.

And to all entrants, you made this day with good competitive sailing, a great atmosphere and many helping hands, thank you.

2023 VIC State RC Laser Championship

We hear it was a good regatta held at Patterson Lakes over the weekend 3-4 June – a quality field, and sailing with low end A rigs.

Frank Russell Design

R/c and model yacht design, plans, boats, sails..

I have been a designer of model and radio yachts since 1968. Boats been built from my plans now number in the hundreds both from both home and production builders. Many of my designs have won State and National Championships in Australia and overseas. New designs are added periodically and occasionally I do receive requests for specific designs. I also from time to time produce free plans.

Most of my older plans Pre 2000 will eventually be available as PDF files of the original large format drawing. The plans are located here:

A more complete list of my designs is here:

Plans are normally drawn on A4 and A3 format. Sections and appendages are normally drawn full size, 1:1. Some fin and bulb drawings are drawn to be printed in two halves and joined after printing. Arrangement drawings are 1:5 and sometimes 1:4.  

Make sure when printing that the “Scaling” or “Fit to Page” option is turned off in your printer setup when you print. I also have the “Print Preview” turned on as well so I can check if the page size is correct. All drawings are in either A4 or A3 size paper.

Each drawing has a 100mm scale which will allow you to see if the drawings are the correct size.

The PDF drawings are usually emailed within a few hours of receiving your order from Paypal by email. DXF and DWG formats are available for most plans. Just ask and they also will be emailed. 

Printed Paper Plans are avialable and are printed from the same plan as the PDF. Please ask before ordering. There is usually an additional postage charge for Printed Paper Plans.

LATEST PLANS:

LOA: 938mm LWL: 915mm BOA: 190mm Disp: 5.1kg

PDF Plan emailed or Printed and posted on 6 A4 and A3 sheets

If you require another format: DXF, or DWG, 2D or 3D or printed paper plan, postage extra.

Ellipsis 36 2023 is a 36 inch restricted class designs based on the Ellipsis IOM design. The 36r design was a request from a UK skipper for a lighter version of the 2017 design for both Radio and vane sailing. This design shuld be more suitable for lighter wind smooth water venues than the 2017.

LOA: 938mm LWL: 915mm BOA: 189mm Disp: 4.4kg

Goth 36 2017 is an 36 inch restricted class design based on the Goth IOM design. The original request came from John Fisher in 2013 who wanted a very light 36r for vane sailing. This design is the third design in the series, which has progressively become heavier and more successful.

New Equinox IOM   Plan : The Equinox is a variant of the Ellipsis… IOM.  The basic  design was produced initially as a 3D printed project that never eventuated for various reasons. Two prototypes were built including a 3D printed boat which was built by John Taylor in the UK.  The design incorporates several features of some of the newer IOM shapes including a fuller higher bow profile and wider stern. The design is well balanced and well behaved like the Ellipsis and should be as easy to plank from wood.

Hulls an components for this design are now available. See IOM COMPONENTS Page.

After payment is made. I will email you the pdf file.

Please ask If you require another format: DXF, or DWG, 2D or 3D or printed paper plan, Postage extra.

Phoenix 4 2020 10r Every new design presents a designer with options to consider and directions to go. After a ten year gap from the P3, all 10r’s had adopted the deep keel, light weight approach and although it did seem to work I after the P5 I though that the Phoenix 4 design although fast went in the wrong direction. I always have thought about what I should have done. So this is P4- 2020, with 2020 hindsight is the result.

LOA 1550mm LWL 1250mm BOA 200mm BWL 180mm, 4.2kg ballast on 600mm Draught and P1 to P3, Marblehead style sail plans on a flat deck.

She even drawn in the same software as the original.

After payment is made. I will email you the pdf file. Plan has A3, A4 sheets and a larger sheet with sections deasigned for laser cutting.

Goth 36 is an 36 inch restricted class design based on the Goth IOM design. The original request came from John Fisher in 2013 who wanted a very light 36r for vane sailing. this design is the second in the series, heavier and more successful.   There is also a later 2017 version which will be published soon.

LOA: 938mm LWL: 899mm BOA: 190mm Disp: 4.4kg

If you require another format: DXF, or DWG, 2D or 3D or printed paper plan, just ask.

UFO Mk2 – A development of the successful UFO with a heavier displacement and larger sail plan. Improved aft sections with the chine removed.

LOA: 1838mmLWL: 1250mm Disp: 15kg SA: 0.978763 m2

PDF Plan emailed or Printed and posted on 12 A3 sheets

Phoenix 8 – 10r:  The Phoenix MK 8 is a larger more powerful boat than the last three Phoenix Mks. The P8 is a return to the simple design, No chines, no raised fore deck and Marblehead rig profiles as used from P1 to P3. This allows simpler light weight construction and fully open soft decks and shared rigs if you have a Marblehead.

LOA: 1650 mm LWL: 1240mm, BOA: 170mm, Draught: 630 – 680mm, Disp 5.7kg, SA: 1.00 m2

Epsilon RG65 – 65 2019:    This design is based on the successful Ellipsis IOM concept, that of correct volume distribution rather than fashionable features with the emphasis on simplicity and efficiency.

Plans are PDF format or printed paper plan only. 3D hull and 2D bow and stern sections in DXF or DWG format are available on request.

Equation Marblehead 2019:    This design is based on the successful Ellipsis IOM concept, that of correct volume distribution rather than fashionable features with the emphasis on simplicity This design is the result of two Sailing Marblehead prototypes, The Ellipsis 1c and Ellipsis 2a.

Cerberus – 6m Something more of a challenge from a designers and builder’s point of view. A class I have always admired. This is Ceberus, my first published Six Metre design. This is the result of several requests for a design in the class and also a desire on my part build a six Metre for fun sailing locally. There are a couple of boats that will be built in the UK to join the fleet there. This design is intended to excel in moderate winds and will outperform anything of similar size drought and displacement in Australian conditions. Plans are $30 pdf plans from my PLANS page with other formats available. This design may also be available for 3D printing at a later date.

LOA: 1515mm, LWL :1020mm, Displacement: 11.75kg,  SA:0.682019m2
