Overview of the WL911 RC boat

    We all remember the times when, including our imagination, we turned a matchbox or a plank with nails nailed instead of a mast into a high-speed boat or a three-masted sailboat. And of course, we could not imagine that in a couple of decades, we will have access to equipment that can be controlled at a distance of tens of meters.



    Here is one of the brightest representatives of the family of radio-controlled boats - WL911 Super Cool Wireless Control 2.4GHz Racing Airship. Oh, if such a thing were in my childhood ...

    When choosing a radio-controlled model, I was primarily interested in speed. Well, who doesn’t want to write crazy turns or jump around the waves at a frantic pace ?! And the first thing that catches your eye is the word "Racing". Well, let's see how this guy is really racing! But first, take a look at its configuration and technical specifications.



    The kit includes: a boat, a radio transmitter (without batteries), a charger, 3 staples (for a stand) and instructions.

    This unit consists mainly of plastic. Metal alloys and electronic components are available. The mass of the entire structure together with the radio transmitter barely reaches half a kilogram, which indicates the ease of its transportation.
    According to the description, the boat has the following characteristics:
    • The mass of the boat is 0.465 kg.
    • Length - 350 mm.
    • Width - 88 mm.
    • Height - 70 mm.
    • Control distance - 80 ~ 100m.
    • Transmitter power - 4 batteries x 1.5V AA.
    • The radio frequency is 2.4 GHz.
    • Battery power - 7.4 V 800 mAh.
    • The maximum speed is 24 km / h.
    • Battery charging time is 50 ~ 60 minutes.

    The boat is freely controlled at a distance of 80-100 meters, depending on weather conditions and the battery charge level in the transmitter, which, by the way, are as many as four. The boat itself is powered by a built-in battery, the power of which is enough for 8-12 minutes of playing time. The specified battery charges quickly enough, only about an hour. Thanks to this, there is no need to plan your leisure time for a long time and spend a lot of time recharging the device.

    As soon as I received the boat, I immediately wanted to try it, but the weather did not please, and I had to wait for the weekend to go to the river. Repeatedly tried to launch the boat at home, but nothing but managed to twist the wheel. It turns out that at the bottom of the boat is a sensor, thanks to which it is impossible to start the engine in the air. But as soon as the boat is in the water, you can start swimming.



    Having charged the batteries, having prepared the remote control, I went out to the river and immediately launched the ship into the water. That's what came out of it…

    As you can see, the ship was quite frisky and fast. But you get the most pleasant sensations, of course, during maneuvers. Unfortunately, the battery was pretty hooked, and I did not risk the loss of the ship in the abyss. Now I look forward to the sea season in order to try it on the waves.

    On the whole, I was more than satisfied with the boat. Honestly, I was tuned for a dull and sluggish ride, as the boat is one of the cheapest on the market and costs only $ 59.780 ( * ref ). In exchange for this, I got a lot of emotions. Despite the short duration of "pokatushek", this guy skated 100%. I think that such a boat can come up with a lot of tests. And of course, this will be a great gift not only to your child, but also to an adult man.
