I thought I was a RC wizard with my RC trucks. Turns out I'm not. Amazing engineering and beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.

I have seen this video twice now. Very detailed and fast too. Getting a lot of ideas and knowledge. Thanks to Bob Martin. He explained details on how things works. I’ve never seen how torpedo is rigged and I have seen it here too. This boat is very detailed and turns well it seems too.

By far the most niche thing I’ve ever seen on YT! I understand the passion, I’ve been obsessed with model aeronautics since before I can remember but I never get into a situation where my models gets out of sight for even a millisecond, for you sub guys the highlight is submerging and I guess just using your imagination until it re-emerges?

Beautiful model,theType VII was my favorite boat, congratulations on a wonderful job !

As a once crew member of the USS Archerfish (AGSS 311), a WWII fleet boat that won a Presidential Unit Citation for sinking the Shimano Japanese carrier, I can really appreciate this model and, especially, the simulated rust you encrusted your U-boat model with. I was a trained Electronic Technician, assigned to helm and shears watch and deck gang. The electronics was original equipment and should have been in a museum so I was not a good match for the equipment. Have you researched long, floating wire antennas for the radio control (I can guess you don't wan to dive you models too deep for fear of losing them)?

My grandmother's brother Erich Weudermann was commander of the U-506, I've always been fascinated with subs but chose aviation during my Navy days 😆. I'm an RC sailboat guy and I appreciate the work you guys do! Cheers, E

@@freddymarcel-marcum6831 The Internet says the B-24 located U-506 on the 10cm radar and engaged with 7 depth charges, and the boat broke in two and afterwards the Liberator crew saw ~15 men in the water, to which they dropped a raft and signal flare. Apparently 6 were rescued by a British destroyer 3 days later. Is this correct?

Thanks for sharing ! That is one cool model... I wish I had one !

Oh dear god. That is superb. Always fancied doing a r/c model of U57 Gunter Priens sub that got into Scarpa Flow. Seeing this as the standard, I will just keep my ambition as fantasy! Brilliant job.

Neat as heck! Great video

fantastic work !!! greetings from germany

Wow, it's a masterpiece! It takes tonns of work to make one!

Un submarino espectacular e impresionante.

Really cool model👍🏾

Amazing Model!!

Awesome sub.

Nice job.

Enjoyed this thx

The coolest rc I ever seen

Awesome model...wanna see the cam video !

Man thats a nice m9del and an awe full photoset

Pretty fuckn cool. Wish I had the patience

Wow, you can go on alligator search and destroy missions with that sub!

Awesome!

Very nice..

What a beauty

nice machine

I would love to have a painted AGED STATIC version of this for home display

Amazing model. If I may recommend you use a pair of forceps for connecting those narrow bits. much easier and safer (might break something in the process)

The Cartel would probably buy this from you.

No gator attacks? Cool, never saw a RC sub, very cool.

NICE! I have an Vintage 80s Atkins R/C German Sub I never finished. I forget what type it is, I think it might be an IXC?? Just dug it out of storage and going to work on it after seeing this vid. Of course things have changed It's made of fiberglass, wood with cast metal accessories. Pretty heavy model close to 6' long.

Ya' gotta' respect the time and persistence of someone who built this. Also, the research and build skills demonstrate excellent craftsmanship. I've always been in to flying scale models but this is really something! Well done and nice review. PS: Why aren't you wearing a Submariner? :)

A question. I seem to recall that some of the subs used during WWII trailed a long radio antenna/wire for communcations. Is it not possible to do the same for a 'wireless' real time camera? Absolutely great model!

Great music theme... a Klaus Doldinger tribute...

You should have played "Wolfpack" by Sabaton. Or at least some of the music from "Das Boot." lol. Great model, thanx for the look see.

ça, c'est du maquettisme ! that is model making ! Il ne maque que la caméra sous-marine. All that's missing is the underwater camera.

you gott a new subscriber and keep making subs like that i mean like that sumbarine its a cool one

Die liegen in die Klamotten und feiern Unser Versenkung.... Not yet Kamaraden. Not yet. Greetings from Amsterdam 🇳🇱

How does your sub receive radio signal underwater? What is your depth limit?

Your linkages connection in the back are magnetized!!! cool. I was hoping you would put it in your pool. i wannuh see the props & rudders. Were you in the US Navy?

MASTERPIECE😎ROCKMAN!

I love it

Pardon me for my ignorance, but limited understanding is that radio waves cannot travel through water, unless if it's VLD/ULF So how do you control the sub? By the way, the model looks great and very realistic!!!

Low frequency radio waves do penetrate water to a fairly useful degree. We operate on 75mhz here in North America.

Bob Martin! What are those little quick connect things called for the snorkel! I have air lines that would really benefit from that!

At the end you show us the underwater camera that you added but you didn’t show any video from it. What’s up with that?

Unbelievable.

do anybody put a cam and or light on it like a drone? it would be neat to see whats around under water

You mean ULF? Better distance. Waaaaaay lower data transfer rates. Not suitable for RC control.

How many meters can you dive in the sea?

Does depth affect transmitter range?

Yes, of course. The deeper you go, the more signal is lost, just as though you were getting further and further away in air.
