Jari has added fittings, radio-installation, bulb, and foils to PIKANTO hull nr 3. Note the aluminium cnc-machined winch-drum for the HiTec winch-servo.
While we have developed a good looking cnc-machined steel finmould, ruddermoulds, a bumper mould, etc. we are still not producing hulls in any larger numbers for sale due to various reasons. Stay tuned.
Hi Anders / Jari,
Which Hitec Digital servo are you using for the sail arm winch? Are you using a fuse or circuit breaker as protection in case the servo stalls?
Regards
Edgardo
You two do beautiful work. Very nice.
Thanks for sharing.

HiTec HS-7955TG and the newer HS-7950TH are the ones which will go into the first prototype boats. These HiTec servos have built-in overload protection, so I hope an additional fuse is not required.
Ofcourse it will be possible to fit the boat with a drum-type winch like an RMG or Graupner-Regatta also.

HiTec high-torque servos are available from well stocked Hobby stores e.g. https://www.amainhobbies.com/hitec/b-yhr-42
The large wheel-drum here was custom made by cn-koneistus.
