Spanish Championship of Thermal Radio Control, for this weekend in the ancient Galaic capital of the Visigoths: the city of Tui, organized by the Royal Spanish Federation and the Galician of Motonautics.

The waters of the Miño will be the ideal framework for the development of this type of vessels, which with an average size of 1 m in length, has combustion engines of up to four different cylinders, divided by the official categories set out in the regulations of the UIM - International Union of Motoronautics:

- Endurance 3.5 cc - Glow (by engine drive)
- Endurance 7.5 cc - Glow (by engine drive)
- Endurance 15 cc - Glow (by engine drive)
- Endurance 35 cc - On Chispa (electric start)

The fuel used for this type of boat is usually a slight benzine, providing the engines between 15 and 20,000 rpm - revolutions per minute, the result being a power push so high that it ensures the 65 knots of speed, about 120 km / h.

The circuit is a technical route between buoys, forming a large "M" on the water sheet on which the tour is based and where the longest stretch is 100 m and the shortest half, giving the "consonant" a total distance of 300 meters per return.

Each manga has an estimated duration of 30 minutes, holding three for each category on the Saturday day, scoring only two of them and dismissing the one of the worst result, to obtain a classification that will mark the patterns of the finals that will run on the Sunday day. Only a maximum number of 15 pilots per category shall be allowed.

The sleeves will start on Saturday at 4: 00 in the afternoon and on Sunday the final at 10: 00 in the morning, the award is scheduled for 1: 30 in the afternoon... very special trophies

The hours of the Spanish Championship of Thermal Radio Control are set as follows: since they have been modeled by the Avelaíña association, a non-profit entity, declared of Public Utility and made up of people with mental illness, family members, caregivers and people sensitised between this health problem... they consist of a ceramic design that represents the environment of the Vello town, the river walk on which the competition is being developed and a model of the boat that is used in the race.
