Next you need to built a spy camera in the periscope and have it go up and down and turn 220° that in itself would make this the worlds best build forever.

LOVE ur work Bob, RCer here, mainly planes, but so wish I had the time and talent to pursue subs. Do you ever consider building an optimized acrylic or glass tank for running/diving/competing/combat?

@RCSubGuy Жыл бұрын

I think a swimming pool would do most of what you're asking. If we had the population and demand, of course an investment of a million dollars in a bespoke underwater environment would be awesome.

@Leesion73 Жыл бұрын

@@RCSubGuy LOL, you think would be a million bucks?:) Just thinking how much more enjoyable it would be to maneuver through glass below water line, even if width of tank was a little more than sub length, with a lot of depth and changeable rock features to navigate through. I guess same could be achieved with SUBMERGED high definition camera? Just a thought, ty for reply, again LOVE and admire your work and talent and channel!

Cool sub but if you can't see it operate underwater what's the POINT?

@RCSubGuy Жыл бұрын

It's all about skill, dead reckoning and sub operating experience. Subs are about stealth, not showing off, and the hobby, fortunately, reflects that. If you don't get that, you don't get it. Not the right hobby for you.

The main thrusters do not work because she has to stay surfaced and run on the diesel engines for awhile. Once the batteries are charged, she can submerge to crush depth and return unscathed. If depth charges are dropped, release garbage, oil, air, and maybe a dead submariner or two. All that will float to the surface. The aggressors will be fooled and leave

@RCSubGuy Жыл бұрын

Unless you're running in a crystal clear, spring-fed pool or a swimming pool, a camera is next to useless. Wireless cameras transmit on high frequency, which does not penetrate water, so you'd have to be at periscope depth to use it. Real RC sub skippers typically use experience and dead reckoning to operate submerged.
