PERKASA class torpedo boat

High-speed performance:

Her speed record is 5.66 m per second, equal to a 77.9 knots scale speed,

even higher than the prototype.

It takes her 8.83 seconds to finish 50 meters.

Video Clip No.1 (1.31M)

 

Capacity of continuous sailing:

With 3000 mAh rechargeable battery package she can run continuously

at full speed for 40 minutes.

Just imagine the feeling driving the boat galloping on the water

at maximum speed with the long white wake behind. Isn¡¯t that cool?

Video Clip No.2 (2.09M)

 

Stability:

The video shows with on-the-spot record the agile turn performance of the model.

It takes approximately 2.47 seconds for her to make a 360 degrees full-speed gyration, the radius of which is about 1.8 m, only 3 times as long as the overall length of the model.

Her high maneuverability helps her survive from all kinds of emergencies.

She is running at full-speed. Hit hard port, she swerves nimbly,

stirring up a transparent water wall, then goes on galloping

along the tangent direction. Hit hard starboard,

she again draws a smooth arc on the specular water surface.

Video Clip No.3 (1.62M)

High-speed agility:

It takes her just one second to reach full speed from

stillness or revert to stillness from full speed,

indicating high agility and excellent speed-up capability.

Video Clip No.4 (5.52M)

Seakeeping capacity:

In waves as high as 3 m in scale (actual height 60 mm)

she can still keep high-speed sailing and swerve at full-speed,

when you'll see a spray of water even higher than the bridge,

and she is still running safely and proudly on the surfy water.

Listen carefully, you will hear poops while she is flapping the water

jumping from one peak to another of the waves.

With trials you'll see it's safe to direct her

to make whatever high-speed random activities on surfy water.

 

Going nimbly around the buoys:

No matter in a wavy waterway or on a peaceful lake her

easy controllability ensures the Perkasa to run bravely and stably forward.

If you¡¯re a sophisticated controller, the model will help to show your prompt response to changing circumstances.

 

R/C rotary MG:

The two MGs can make 120 degrees free horizontal rotation,

the pitching angle can be adjusted freely

and the angle of the attached gunsight will change accordingly,

which simulates an omnidirectional aim and shot.

Rotary Radar:

As a careful operator, you¡¯ll find a surprise she has a rotary radar.

 

Night navigation lights:

As you wish, we can make signal lamp, navigation flare light.

We can also add an indoor lamp in the navigation space

to beacon the bluejackets and equipment on the controlling desk.
