Matts new Rigger design

Postby Mattyc » Fri Dec 04, 2009 2:12 pm

only in the sketch process at the moment but this is the basic design.

I have taken the bits I like from 3 different riggers and morphed them together.

Instead of conventional booms, I have opted for a more aerodynamic wing shaped airfoil, this will be neutral in terms of providing lift, Boat will be about 36 inches in length. The Rear booms will have flaps fitted that I will use as Air Brakes and MAY use for adjusting the attitude of the boat.
I sketched it freehand then went over the arc's in GIMP, printed then shaded a few bits with a pencil.

The plan is too carve the boat from foam and put 4 layers of glass cloth over it..
