Construction parts
The kit includes a laminate hull that is already painted white and provides a solid and waterproof base for further construction. The package also includes an aluminum mast, precision-cut plywood parts, wooden mouldings of various shapes and sizes, brass and metal small components that complete the details of the model.
Can be converted to a floating RC model
The model is designed primarily as a static mock-up, but has cut-outs for the installation of the propulsion system and electronics, allowing it to be converted into a floating RC model. For this functionality, you need to buy an RC kit, including a transmitter, receiver, servos, batteries and other accessories. The recommended keel weight is approx. 3.5 kg, which ensures the stability of the sailboat on the water. Common modelling tools should be used for construction,for example, a modeling knife, a mini drill with drill bits of different diameters, sandpaper, tweezers and other small tools. A sewing machine can also be used to sew the sails, which will make the production of the sails from the included material much easier and more precise. For proper operation of the floating model, it is also recommended to lubricate the shaft with special grease.
Decorative model and functional floating ship
Overall, the Krick Ariadne kit offers a beautiful and high quality project for those who want to combine the beauty of a classic sailing ship with the possibility of active RC operation. Thanks to precise parts and quality instructions, the build is well manageable and brings great satisfaction from the finished model, which can serve as a decorative mock-up as well as a functional floating boat.
