Mini Submarine

Another toy, courtesy of Amazon 7 or 8 years ago.I bought the beast for about £12 / 15€. It was on offer!
I use it at model exhibitions where there is a pool.
The sub is about 15cm/6" in length, complete with basic r/c system.
It will sail forwards and reverse, turns to the right and left courtesy of water jets, and by use of 2 buttons on the top corners will submerge and resurface. It has rechargeable batteries inside, these are recharged by use of a fly lead from the tx!
The main users are children and sometimes adults who want to have a go!
It generates lots of interest, so much so that sometimes children join the club and go on to build small freelance fishing boats - the majority of models are fishing and military boats, we have the Brest naval base close by and several fishing ports.

On my RV Northern Explorer I have a stern gantry to lower a submarine into the water. I always looked at this critter but had my doubts as to its longevity. Another drawback for my application is it doesnt have an onboard camera. At the moment I have a GroPro housing converted to look like a submarine but its horribly bulky. Thanks for sharing

MICHEL C ami suisse, swiss friend
i have seen the submarine diving in the pond of the parc and no technical problems whatsoever. It is incredible, the technicety , the seize, and a clubmember has it already for 2 years without any trouble. So it is no chi.......rubbish. ▲

Looks like fun Stotty👍
Would like to see her in action. Maybe you could video her next outing? Diving mechanism in such a small hull borders on impossible! Cheers, Doug😎 ▲
