Hmmm always thinking is it possible to made one of those pump out of cheap nitro pump
Ya stuka is right 2 m sub is out of question in Singapre ....how you going to moving around with that thing ......1.2 should be max
I am no for the dynamic dive system, less work as an initial start up trial project. BTW the way the master make the hull is like what I did for my fiber glass cowling.....but of much bigger scale....
Stuka you are going for the scale or tube only approach ?

is ur fishtank that long?? heehee..
Where to float a 2m sub man? go condo swimming pool sure attention seeking one wah..
But will be damn cool, so is the price tag.. EUR1.3k translate to SGD2.5k..
6ft = 1.8m leh.
Can float the sub and dive it in the tank but no place to move around. It is a jacuzzi leh. U can sleep in it with my fishes!!!
The only place I know of a swimming pool with 10m deep plus a viewing room is in Naval Diving Unit (NDU) in Sembawang Naval Camp. U can play ur R/C naval warfare there. Submarine vs Destoryer!!!!
Actually, Underwater World in Sentosa also can!!! But wait the sub kena rip apart by the sharks!!!!

Originally posted by wei youngI actually think its one and the same, just a sequencing problem.
We can build the tube first, make sure it works, then get a really nice scale Revell/Monogram/Hasegawa set and use it as a frame around the tube?
I actually think a dynamic model is less likely to fail compare to if we were to start off with a static one with ballast tanks. u can test a dynamic diving system by attaching a dive plane behind half submerged piece of wood (with lead on the belly) and then pull it thru water with a string attached to the nose... ... The challenge i have now is watertightness around the hatch and the exit of the control rods for dive planes and rudder.

I do have several sub model of various scale but to fit a PVC tube will only either the 1/250 or 1/72 U boat. The 1/72 should close t 1.XX meter. NB a lot of detail were damage during shipment from US ..... dont feel like fixing it up at all ..... may be able to convert into RC instead ....saw one of the US guy did it ....
Stuka I have the same problem of getting the water tight solve ..... have idea but not sure where to get std material to fit in as always like to homemade staff for my RC conversion
BTW I am thinking can we try those super strong magnet for the BL out runner. I have use them before for my homemade cd-rom out runner motor. Really strong... wonder will it work....may sound stupit anyway

I don't think the magnet can withstand the force of the water flowing against the dive planes? Even for a small model we are talking about at least half a kilo here.Futaba FF9CHP

Think this solution is simpler. Pardon my drawing.
Since the servos will have a maximum rotation angle of 120 degrees, if we use some form of flexible rubber cone, we can just seal up the whole thing giving minimum resistance.
