RC Electric Boats Combine Speed With Practicality

Model ship collecting is a hobby that has persisted for several generations. It is a hobby that covers the entire world, and as such has its own universal language of history and humanity. Many cultures have had different takes on the uses of these model ships, such as using them as a burial votive at funerals. However, the technology of today allows for further advancement in the hobby of ship model collecting. The increase in technology has brought about revolutionary changes in model ships. While wooden model ships, authentic ship replicas, and other traditional nautical decor will probably never go the way of the dinosaur, remote controlled electric boats are the new “it” item in the model ship culture. 
Model ship enthusiasts interested in technology will love RC electric boats. The science behind these electric RC boats are on par with the artisan’s own handiwork. There are so many different electric RC boats to choose from, and many different ways to identify the one right for you. Many decisions need to be made when choosing the perfect RC electric boat. To be succinct, the hull of the electric RC boat is one way of learning about the boat’s attributes. The shape of the RC electric boat’s hull is a deciding factor in the overall speed of the boat, the stability of the boat, and the maneuverability of the boat. There are several different hull designs that have many different factors which translate into the capabilities of the boat.
First, we have the monohull design, AKA “the monoplane hull”. The surface of the monohull design remains in contact with the water at all times. The monohull design comes in many different assortments. Among the most popular monohull designs is the “vee-shaped” hull design.
The next hull design is the flat bottom boat design. As the name implies, the flat bottom boat is well, flat. Accordingly, the flat bottom design sits flat atop a pocket of air hovering above the water. The RC electric boat’s motor sits above the rear body of the model boat. An airplane propeller is used to provide the right amount of thrust needed to move the RC boat.
The third hull design that affects the various attributes of the boat is the hydroplane hull. This is the most unique hull design, as it allows for more than one surface to connect with the water at the same time. Up to two or three surfaces can be in contact the water, in fact. This unique hull design is utilized to create a space for air that is trapped underneath of boat. What this design does then, is help to lift the boat out of the water, making for less drag. This results in the hydroplane hull achieving much higher speeds than ordinary, thanks to the hull not being restricted by the water. 
These are just a few of the different RC electric boats available. With this knowledge, you will be able to make quick and wise decisions on which wooden model ships to purchase.
