Test of the hover controller, in particular in yaw direction (multicopter frame, i.e. roll direction in airplane frame). The yaw is stabilized using the flaperons which are in the propeller wash. The flaperon deflections are visible when Chris pokes the kite with the broom. The controller quickly reacts and stabilizes smoothly the yaw angle back to zero. Note that differential propeller directions as used for small multicopter-drones do not offer nearly enough yaw moment for control authority of the kite's inertia or expected wind loads. In addition, such a control scheme greatly reduces the thrust for yaw stabilization. This is why this is not feasible for our system.

This Lagoon 42 with its 3 cabins and 3 heads is fully equipped for Bluewater cruising. Only two owners, never in charter and many upgrades The hull is constructed of a balsa core, with solid GRP below the waterline. The balsa core keeps the boat light, the solid GRP, the boat safe. The cockpit is large and what one expects in a cruising catamaran cockpit. It’s has a table with an L shaped settee, as well as several other seating options. The helm position is separate but still part of the same space, making the helmsperson accessible to crew, while under way.
