Ready for its first voyage in just 15 minutes...
Even the decals are applied! With a Fortune
612 RTS (Ready-to-Sail)Radio Controlled Boat , a sailor’s
life is an easy one.
It’s more than
a boat; it’s a start-up pack that includes a ship and a
PerfexTM 2-channel radio to control it. Add 12 “AA (included)
cells and a bit of final assembly, and the Fortune 612 is complete.
 |
Assembly is
literally a matter of minutes. The hull and deck are prejoined,
already brave with paint and decals. The booms and sails
are joined to the mast; stand the mast and clip lines to
cleats and you’re more than halfway through assembly.
Finish up by installing the rudder and
keel on the hull and batteries in your radio — and
it’s time for your maiden voyage..
Made of tough, strong ABS plastic,
for lasting wear and glossy good looks that require no care!
Scale profile and scale
detail parts create the look of an America’s Cup racing
yacht with virtually no work. No
wiring necessary! Servos and receiver for the Perfex radio
system are already installed — and ready for battery
installation.
Deepwater rudder provides massive
turning power and sharp, virtually instantaneous response.

Stretches almost 4’
in height, from the bottom of the keel bulb to the top of the
lightweight aluminum mast . Rudder, mast
and bolt-on bulb keel attach in minutes and detach just as quickly
for easy storage and transportation.
Review by The Model Retailer
Any level of modeler will be able to assemble
Kyosho's Fortune 612 sailboat in less than 30 minutes. Assembly
is easy and straightforward - no tools, paint or glue are required.
The Fortune 612 is well packed in Styrofoam,
molded to fit the hull and other components. A beautiful ocean
setting is depicted on the box, along with photos of the kit's
contents. The instructions and decals are packed at the top of
the kit.
 |
Although the Fortune 612
is about 90% pre-built, and a Perfex two-channel radio is
factory-installed, complete instruction books for both the
boat and radio system are included. Detailed photos of what
little assembly is necessary are provided in the boat manual,
and all the features of the radio and its operation are
included in the radio manual.
The Fortune 612 sailed beautifully. Tacking
upwind was almost as easy as downwind sailing. The boat
instantly responded to every radio command. Beginners will
love the Fortune 612's ease of sailing, and experienced
yachters will appreciate its agility.

This is a pre-assembled RTR kit. Final assembly
takes 15 to 30 minutes - sails are mounted to the masts, all the
rigging is complete, decals are factory-applied and, for good
measure, a decal sheet is included to further detail the boat.
