staring to work on some of thee electronics plus next working on the motor installation and drive shafts and gluing in the WTC

[deepseadiver]

everything glued in and tested works perfect

[deepseadiver]

pic of the dive plan lots of little soldering needed to be done

[deepseadiver]

last picture of everything attached and pic of the dive plan system being built

[deepseadiver]

pictures of all of the rear prop housing and all fins resin on . I sanded everything real smooth labor of love

[deepseadiver]

more pictures of the control rods for the rear rudder and rear dive plans . keep in mind these are very close up pictures so it looks like a dirty mess but its not I just forgot to wash out the back end after grinding off access material before taking pictures.

picture of the bottom turned out nice and pictures of the control unit installed for the rudder and rear dive plans that was some serious work do to being in a tight space but I have everything working perfectly

[deepseadiver]

I decided to place a light on the tip of the tail fin boy these are bright nice

[deepseadiver]

pic of the plats that go over the lead weights and pictures of my custom made tail fin rudder control unit

[deepseadiver]

decided to go all wing nuts much easier to get in to WTC

I have a set of DM torpedos and they pretty close to 650mm torpedos in 1:100. Would love to see how you make those missiles.

yes I have the plans and the parts the biggest problem was finding out the mechanism witch took me 2 months to find out. That attaches to the bottom, of rocket, and you pressurized it from the top with a air pump, then it slides inside the chamber with a servo, which un locks the mechanism, that part stays inside at the bottom of missile chamber after it gets turned by servo . Then the rocket, shoots up and a way about 12 feet it will be cool system wants I get working on it.

The gentlemen made them all by hand in his work shop, from scratch I will have to make them from scratch myself . They release super easy from the servo which then releases all that water pressure all at once. Yes David Merriman is pretty smart he makes really cool stuff, like the Torpedo system.
here is a YouTube video of system im building this is not a kit .

I'm glad you already built one so if I get In a jam you may be able to help out it looks nice .

Are you planning to make a torpedo system. I notice the torpedo holes are cut out . I am in the process of gathering all my materials to make a water pressured missile lunch system with open and close missile hatches . I have a gentleman in Germany I finally contacted been over 2 months . So far he is the only one that i have found that has design a water pressurized missile lunch system that's on YouTube . So once im all done I am going to focus on that. I would like to have some type of battery propelled torpedo system but I need to get it built first .
