Description from Yoichi Takahashi 16th July 2006
The brave figure of USS PEGASUS (PHM-1)
My latest work is an RC model of hydrofoil missile boat PHM1 USS PEGASUS (PHM-1) . The original USS PEGASUS (PHM-1) had been on patrol in the Caribbean sea with the US Navy.
The main feature of this model ship is that it lifts by using hydrofoils and is propelled by water jet in the same way as the original. The stability when flying is achieved by continually running a small gyro and the hydrofoil automatic control system developed for this model.
