Propeller guard (optional) Hull design inspired to the toy's port bingo classic rc boat wich i used for this fishing technique. Nose ring to pick the boat from the water with a hooked stick. Easy to replace 3dprinted rudder Can be customized with your text/brand THE 3 DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS: BASIC Cheap and easy to build, it's just a rc boat. INTERMEDIATE With functions that help fishing and auto-hooking based on rpm variations generated by fish bites, sends rpm, voltage,current telemetry on the transmitter, draws live graphs of rpm on the screen, gives audio feedbacks for all telemerty data and has auto-hooking alarms. ADVANCED(the real deal, using ardupilot 4.1 opensource autopilot, with all the above features, can be programmed for trolling itself thru a set of waypoints in continuous loop, can learn the waypoints while driving the boat, and start looping the waypoints all straight from the transmitter, can be programmed from a smartphone, with a wifi module Can be used also as in basic manual mode, or in "direction mode" where the boat follows a specified direction at a specified speed, fighting external forces. When a fish is hooked, you can trigger "Return Home" button and it will come back autonomomously, fighting with the fish.
