HOW DO RADIO CONTROLLED (RC) SUBMARINES WORK ?

HOW DO RADIO CONTROLLED (RC) SUBMARINES WORK ?
Matt kindly runs me through how his HMS Upholder radio controlled submarine works. The shell for this RC submarine is made by OTW Designs (otwdesigns.com/) in Loughborough which is run by Bob Dimack. He tells me about how it dives and surfaces, the propulsion and control systems. Impressed by the clean installation of all the gear. It made it easy to understand the function of all the components.

    I've loved submarines since I was a child, and my dream was to always have a RC one, but they didn't exist. I'm very surprised and happy to discover that they exist now, and they are even capable of great actions, they're complex inside! Omg, wonderful. I'm so happy to have discovered this video

    RC Submarines raises the complexity of RC vehicles by a huge factor. I don't think many people realize just how complex they are or what goes into building or using one.

    Stevie D I haven't had a sub but I did fly helis and quadcopter for a bit, the amount of props and blades you chew through in urban areas was a pain, plus the larger helis are really quite pricey for good ones. I'd imagine the running cost of a sub would be a bit less, construction likely about the same. Micro helis can be fairly cheap though and IMO the best way to learn since they are also not nearly as dangerous as the larger ones.

    Well... I mean it's really cool but not what I'd call complicated. A pump, three servos, a basic gyro and a motor. Doesn't even have independent vanes for roll dampening and the main hull isn't water/pressure resistant. Have you seen a flybarless aerobatic heli? Or even a scale multi-mast RC sailing boat? That shit is what I'd call complicated. If this was more realistic with a full pressure hull and multiple ballast tanks and pumps to adjust trim and video back to goggles or a laptop to about 20 meters or further with a long aerial with a float then I'd say it was reasonably complex.

    When I was a kid growing up on the lake, I had always wanted to build a Rc sub with a camera on it so I could look at the fish. There was something fascinating to me about being able to see under the water in which I spent my whole day on fishing. Unfortunately, at that time I don't think there was enough technology do make one unless it had wires attached and I certainly didn't have access to the materials to make one. When I see this, it amazes me. Takes me back to my childhood dream. Someday, I just may still build one now that I have the funds and access to what I need. Very nice sub there! Thank you for the video.

This submarine is no kids toy this is an advanced piece of technology that took a tremendous amount of knowledge. Hats off to you. I am wondering how much money something like that goes for.

    Your comment was great, until the shark comment. You must be one of those people that enjoys scaring people for your own gratification. That's called being narcissistic. I'd bet you wouldn't think it's funny to have one of your own family members in the water and have a (potential) shark come close to them and frighten them. Then again, you probably would. Anyone else would be pissed to find out it's someone like you with a radio controlled shark, who just scared their family, as a joke. Especially, if they were older and had health issues where it could be dangerous to them.
