Hello, and good morning. I would suggest you give Cornwall ModelBoats a good coat of looking at. As besides the flexible beech strip they sell which is very flexible, and a short length can be bent around into a circle without any problem. So if you bought three strips, one at the thickness you require, and two more to go on the inside and outside, to make up a channel type capping. they also sell numerous hardwood mouldings shaped, into channels, right-angles, mouldings for hardwood window frames. ect. ect. Give it a looking at and I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Regards, Gary.

I had thought of a float with antenna but in he end use a MHz transmitter was easier. I had sold all mine so I picked up one from eBay. Actually I wound up with two one AM one FM. FM worked better. The dc motor controller was from a car as it had reverse capability plus switchable micas or LiPo. The Ghz band gets water attenuation so it wonβt work under water well. Bathtub test showed at least a few feet under was ok. Only thing o donβt like is you seal electronics so it has to be really tested. Battery is on a plastic box like that can open fir access but I put a soda bottle cap structure to access charge connector anyway itβs fun

Like your sub!! We have several sub guys in our club, at least one of them uses 2.4. He runs an extension for his antenna up the sail (conning tower) and hides it in either the periscope or antenna. His boats are static divers, but he stays at periscope depth when he submerges. The boats set up to blow ballast and full up planes if he loses contact. Not trying to criticize anything youβre doing, just letting you know 2.4 is doable with restrictions. Most of the ponds here in North Texas are too murky for much below periscope depth anyway.
Anyway, good luck with your sub! Let me know how it turns out. Cash ▲

Always fancied building a submarine. But never quite got around to it, as they always looked so complicated. With wet bits, dry bits, and some that crossed over occasionally. That, and the cost of the perspex tubes they are built into and out of. Also, you need quite a big model to base it on as well. One big point is, I don't have access to a school swimming pool to play with it in, as I'm too scared of losing it in a lake π
Good luck with yours. Kindest regards, Dave W π ▲

Bring on the real MSCO minesweeper for years I wanted to build one. My uncle (Sam really) was my boss on ship. He told me about the Calypso was a rebuild on the Msco frame. So I found the Calypso and used personal pictures as guides. The wheel house was easy and radar room behind it. Adding deck gear and the big wheel that holds the sweep electric plus cable weβre tricky. I added the floats and cable control mechanics on rear deck. Basically the main deck cabin is same along with side rails. The bow needed work but turned out good. It has Rc gear in it but never floated it. Iβm getting a display case fir it. My next ship is DE1040 Garcia. 5 ft body fiberglass from scale shiplyard company. I may float that one.

I believe the spelling is "Calypso." Nevertheless, a fine looking model!π
