Get an RC setup going #14

Closed thip closed 10 years ago

thip commented 10 years ago

This is pretty important and I almost forgot about it! We need an RC system which we can use to take over control of the boat if things go wrong and for when we just want control of the boat. The ideal system would give us a varying degree of control depending on what's necessary; First off there's complete control of everything (i.e. rudder and sail angle) and then there's just rudder control with the sail still acting autonomously. The latter is generally more useful because it's very difficult to set the sail correctly when you can't feel the wind, especially with the wing because it's so sensitive and gives such little feedback.
