Vac-U-DuckTM
|
Radio Controlled Duck Hull Kit Status of new ducks: The decoys that I used to make the Vac-U-Duck have been discontinued. They have a new line of ducks that are an inch shorter and slightly wider that require me to re-tool. New oven, liner mold, and hull mold. While I'm at it, I plan to re-design the interior tray to accommodate an un-modified 6-cell pack that will be easy to change. I will be working on this project over the Winter with the goal of having the new line of ducks ready by 2010. Sorry for the delay. |
From its solid brass Schlage™ lid hinge to the stainless steel prop shaft supported by Oilite® bearings, the Vac-U-Duck is a fine example of a duck built better than it needs to be.
Note: Vac-U-Boat is not responsible if your Vac-U-Duck is so realistic that a nearby hunter shoots it by mistake.

No ordinary radio controlled decoy. Here at Vac-U-Boat, we have re-engineered a seamless hull to allow this normal sized 16 inch bird to hold 1- 3/4 POUNDS of standard R/C gear (your battery, radio receiver, electronic speed control & servo) and still look like a duck.
WHAT YOU NEED TO COMPLETE THE DUCK:
Two channel radio with standard servo, electronic speed control "ESC", 6 cell 7.2 Volt battery, and charger. Small Phillips and Flat screwdrivers are needed for the servo and EZ-Connector.
WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU BUY THE DUCK:
 |
 |
 |
| One Duck (Mallard Male shown), One Antenna Mast, and One Accessory Bag. | The Accessory Bag contains a DUBRO EZ-Connector & a strip of Velcro® for assembly, and a tube of Super Lube & two Hex Wrenches for future maintenance. | Inside the duck, you have a pre-installed Johnson® Motor and our own Motor-Shaft Coupling. The tray is ready for your 6-cell flat pack battery. |
 |
 |
 |
| In the back is a pre-installed rudder arm and push rod. The tray supports a standard servo with pre-drilled holes and an ESC. | All Vac-U-Ducks are fully painted as shown. The polyethylene hull is seamless. The lid is supported by a solid brass Schlage™ hinge and an acetal plastic latch. | The drive system and rudder are already installed as shown. The rudder is supported by a solid brass shaft. |
The bird is completely assembled with motor and drive system and is ready for your electronics.
