PROGRESS IS A GOOD THING. When it
comes to RC, progress in microelectron-
ics is a very good thing. It has spawned
a new breed of cars, boats and air-
planes that are smaller, faster, more
reliable and more affordable, and when
you’re talking about boats, you can add
a healthy dose of convenience as well.
More than with any other type of RC,
boats rely on an appropriate location;
they aren’t much fun if you don’t have
enough water! But these mini boats are
small and nimble enough to be enjoyed
in a medium-size swimming pool, so
any local duck pond or swimming hole
will have more than enough room.
Don’t let their size fool you, though;
these little guys can be fast, and they
handle rough water amazingly well.
Driving them is easier than you might
think; even beginners will have a blast!
Who would have guessed that so much
fun could come in such small packages?
As I said, progress is a good thing!
