>I Recently received a new r/c toy!  It's a landsailer, and has been a ball

>it thru the last five years.  Its called the STILLETTO, and is of an all 
>fibreglas construction (hull, rear axle, wing mast) with a mylar sail.
>It was designed by the '91, '92 Americas Cup Landsailing Regatta winner
>Robert Weber, and is a 1/4 scale of his  true landsailer with double tapered
>wing mast, weight tuned suspension, 11mm ball bearings on each of the 3 
>wheels and variable rake high aspect ratio sail like on full size landyachts.
>The yacht is RTR (ready to run) to minimize set up time.  After charging
>the reciever batteries you only need to attach the axle, step the mast and 
>turn on the radio!  Its sold either without a radio (but with an S125 sail
>servo), or complete with a Futaba 2ch ground radio (twin stick) with nicads 
>and charger.  Its painted white with your choice of black, red or blue trim.
