It is small, so keep that in mind. - First, this boat is very small. Given its size don't expect it to handle big seas or winds, but it is a fully functional and very well designed little RC sailboat. Out if the box after a battery charge we were sailing in a boat harbor immediately and without any trouble. The boat sails exactly as I would expect, tacks quickly, reaches like a race horse and will do wing on wing just fine. What a great way to get into the RC hobby! On first look all the RC gear below is completely legit. Real servos and receiver. Love it! It really is quite small so keep that in mind. For anything serious get a bigger boat. Review: Great beginner RC sailboat. - I really enjoyed this sailboat! It was a lot of fun and I took it out on a fairly calm day and it handled the wind quite well. Had a lot of fun with it and continue to enjoy it. ## Features - Control your own RC sailboat - 2-channels with two servos for control of the water rudder and sail angle - Powered by the wind!
