Gidday all...

Firstly i dont own a boat, and never have. So please dont burn me.

But.. do you think it would be possible to make a skier follow behind a boat?

My mates and i put about 3 mins of thought into it and came up with:

You would need firstly a boat and a driver... obviously
Then a skier.. on its own 2 channel reciever with two gyros, one left to right, one forward to back (with servos to manipulate) and a weighted keel to ensure it stays upright.

Left to right gyro is obviously going to move him left to right, the other will make forward and backward movements.. to create a pretty realistic effect.

Any thoughts?

Would look kewl.

I think the cg of the "skiier" must be very low otherwise it will fall in every corner or gulf.

Yes, you can make it work. I have done it with a G.I. Joe guy and 2 popsicle sticks... no kidding!
