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
That was a good interview. The gentleman did a good job of explaining everything.

Yes, he did. Made watching the video worthwhile.
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.
one of very few interviews on youtube that i found interesting in terms of information, knowledge and captivating... thanks to all involved
That is one of the best trimmed subs I've seen. Beautiful job!
That's the best sub piloting I've seen along with the internal setup. Nice find👍
Wow. Amazing video, the camera, the interview, the model, everything. Thank you so much! So funny how this "walk through the basics" ended up being, you could say, a full-fledged submarine engineering class haha :-) Thanks once again, and kudos to Mr. Matt for his amazing job putting that beast together!

I do want to add how impressive of a machine this is!
Great model and a really nice guy taking time to explain how it all works. really enjoyed it. Thanks to you both
Fascinating, thank you, I didn't know I liked RC subs til now.
I sailed the real one (HMCS Victoria class now) that's such a nice sub you have there sir.
The work is so sick! I don’t even think I can make such thing. I’ve always wanted a rc sumpbmarine ever since I planned on making one
Really well explained, and it is a work of art more than a toy. I imagine it is a little easier to run in a pool though less scale.
That gentleman did an excellent job of explaining it.
As a RET. US Navy Submariner I truly enjoyed this to the point I started having flashbacks, LOL!! But very nice Boat.

I am very strongly considering joining the U.S. Navy here soon. I had a fascination with subs as a child and now recently I'm wanting to go do it for real before its too late. (30 now). Any advice you could give? From what I've learned attack subs look to be alot more interesting of a job than missle subs.

Gorgeous Sub and great interview/explanation!
This random question came into my head thinking about my little cheap rc sub I had as a kid. Wish I still had that thing more than anything to tear it apart see how it actually worked. Had a realization that RC subs still had to function like normal subs. Amazing amount of R.C technology
Excellent video mate. Matt built a properly beautiful submarine. Thank you for putting this video out.
Thats one amazing piece of kit
Great video. Thanks for making it.
thanks i have been thinking about making my own rc sub for a while and this is very helpful
super quality that sub looks great
Masterpiece!
Damn nice and superbly engineered.
Absolutely amazing. This guy not only demonstrates how a real submarine works between the leveling planes working in tandem with how the ballast Tanks flood in order in submerge it but he was also able to seal everything in an airtight enclosure. 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.

Thanks for the kind words. The water tight cylinder is actually made by OTW who produces the model kit so i can't take credit for that, take a look at OTW designs website for pricing. Thanks

That was beautiful. The main problem is that RF does not work underwater. And hence, we didn't see it going completely inside. At least the receiver end should stay above water.

I saw (and took pics) of the HMCS Chicoutimi in Halifax dry dock back in 2005, due to that unfortunate "leaving the hatch open" during sea-faring operations. Nice to see this model is a bit more watertight then the real one. Fantastic engineering on the model Matt C - you should be proud!

Mike TeeVee That’s not what happened. Submariners don’t just “leave hatches open”. That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. Not sure who told you that story, but they’re an idiot. The boat was submerged and at PD when the fire happened. No hatch was left open.
That’s effin dope bruh

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.
