This is an old website. For details about Moths and foiling go to my new site at: http://www.intmoth.com
Electronic Control System for a International Moth on Hydrofoils.
My forth year project is detailed below. I'm about to graduate from Glasgow university with a degree in Avionics. you may use any information detailed if you find it useful, the moth class is not about profits, its about going fast!!
A MS Word version is available here.
