Welcome back to RCI Sir, You may not be knowing me, but I was missing you a lot.
Thanks for your compliment.

SB Maharana

It took almost a week to prepare everything & make a video of Mistral boat. I thank all RCI Memebers cooperating me and some of my local friends.
Video of Mistral Motor Yacht :

Maharana Sahab, superlative! I have no words to express my appreciation. Whatever I say will not be enough. I am so proud to have you as a friend!

I'm so terribly pleased to see that the good old British gentleman is back!

Hi Maharana,
This is simply awesome.... Admire the amount of time that you invest in the fine detailing.The boat has turned out to be simply superb. Would like to see these in person sometime.
Out and out a true creation of Art. Good to have your support for my project.

Thank you Sir & make a frequent visit to RCI.

With these delicate models it is quite difficult for me to participate in some rc boat exhibition / competition other than my home town and if I conduct a rc exhibition / competition here I will get the first prize with no competitors around. It is upto Mr. Anwar to choose a common venue for a rc boat show in India where every rc boat lovers & builders can join.

& thank you VC Sir.

      Well Sreekant, you are forgetting one thing "amount of time spend" as well as "Rs" & when we are in rc hobby we are debiting "$". I have got something for you:
     Suggested you to attach a spring in the driving shaft; I have done so with one of my old boat & found extraordinary improvement in speed as well as overall performance of the boat in water.

Please don't thank me, I need to thank you for being there on this forum and being a friend. See you soon - first week of October!

Isn't that a good old Aurora Smite? Or is it a Mite?

Everything was right there Sir, except with a poor quality camera & enough guts to sail boats full throttle in the middle of the pond. I am little confident now.  Next time I will present a nice video with a good handycam.

Another Mistral boat video on youtube.com


If you observe the rc part you will find two servos operating to control the rudders as well as the ESCs (Not clearly shown). This ESC is different than what we normally use; it is a servo controlled ESC, speed is regulated by Potentiometer / horn.  I was referring something similar (with mechanical setup):

To understand the mechanism & the setups, watch this video:
http://www.youtube.com/user/parrotpilot#p/u/13/Oi7jRcsfXB8

I was just checking the diagram and found something interesting, this boat doesn't have a rudder & if we opt for a rudder setup, one more servo can be connected parallel to the 2nd one, by a Y – connector.
