## Description

Whether you're a first timer or have years of experience as an RC boating enthusiast, the Rage RC Eclipse 650 sailboat is the ideal sailboat for you. The Eclipse 650 hull is blow-molded from ABS for added durability and the attractive pre-applied trim design gives it the look of a full-size sailboat when you're sailing your local lake or pond. For convenience, the Eclipse 650 arrives pre-assembled with the sails partially pre-rigged to help make getting on the water fast and easy. Plus, it's the ideal size to fit in either the back seat or trunk of your car for heading to your local body of fresh water. For performance, the Eclipse 650 includes a 17g "drum-style" winch servo that provides power and smoother, more scale-like operation than traditional servos. The Eclipse 650 is a RTR boat, so everything you need to get started is included in the box - including a 2.4GHz interference-free radio system, a "drum style" sail winch servo, and pre-printed rip-stop nylon sails that provide durability and performance. The Eclipse 650 even includes the 8 AA batteries needed for operation - 4 for the transmitter and 4 to power the servos, plus an easy to assemble display stand to show off your new sailboat when you not out sailing. After a few minutes of final assembly, it won't be long before you're waiting for a breeze to sail your new Eclipse 650 across your local pond or lake!

Review: Nice product - After reading a few reviews and deciding to purchase this sailboat I was pleased with the product, assembly and use. The Radio for this product is about what you'd expect at this price point. I have been a RC Hobbeist for over 20 years so I didn't have any unrealistic expectations from the radio that was included. Then new 2.3 Ghz radios can be a little finiky. The Trim for the Rudder is a bit odd in that when the radio syncs with the RX it doesn't always center. The Batteries included are cheap and drain quickly so have another set with you to change out. As for others who have purchased this and have reported it died after a short use. Replace the batteries and it should be fine. In the long term I'd replace the alkaline battery holder with a Nimh or some other rechargeable battery pack for longer use. Same goes for the TX but those are not a PACK and you will have to fined individual cells such as Nihm or Lion cells. In either case a good set of batteries is a good Idea. As for sailing it, Lots of fun. I was surprised how quickly the boat accelerates when properly set up and trimmed. Great for days by the pool when its too cold to swim.
Review: JUNK! (based on owning 2 boats) - This is cheaply made so it breaks. The servos are too light for anything but the lightest breeze. After a couple of hours sailing the switches on both of my boats broke. Easily replaced as are the servos. Then I noticed the steering was still wonky. It turns out the steering linkage from the servo to the rudder is too light so it bends under the pressure of tacking. This is not so easily replaced. Actually somewhat difficult. Finally, the piece that attaches the boom to the mast broke on both boats. The piece can be replaced by either buying a whole mast assembly or a boom . The boom cost me $26.43 plus shipping. And I notice that there are few available. Unfortunately, I expect that this part will fail again leaving me the option of junking the boats or manufacturing a new part with a stronger material.

A: The keel is about 14" from the bottom of the keel to the water line on the boat.

**Q: What is the range of the transmitter ?**
