Would be nice to have this for Kantun SMX too....

Thx for your reply Dave! The main reason why I want to switch to a newer design is that they've got a lot more volume in the bow. The waters where we normally sail can be quite choppy; our present boat likes that a lot upwind, but downwind and in a broad reach, she is a right pain to handle. Cheers,...

Life after sailing a Widget... I'm now thinking of upgrading(?) after my present Widget..... Thinking of ordering a MX14; I really like the build quality and am looking for an upgrade in performance. I haven't seen any top results so far.....would this be a nono when it comes to the boats potential?...

Oh the last cut I made it didnt fray at all! Strange!

Soak an inch or so in superglue and cut the wire half way in that area.... solves yr problem

Grtzzz, Rob

I'm interested in buying an IOM design named " Copycat" ; has anybody got some info on this design like performance, race results etc.


Thx in advance!

Rob

Thank you very much John....
I now feel confident enough to go out and buy the Spektrum r/c
Going to collect my wife's boat too nxt Sunday.....also a Widget; that one comes with a different winch and with a radio.

Thx again,

Rob

I just bought a Widget which we are going to collect next Sunday.
And yes...... almost the same question; boat is fitted with a RMG 280 ES winch and no RC.
I'm planning to buy a Spektrum 5E with AR610 receiver; is that going to work??

Thx, Rob
