Ok, best Submarine Pool Trials I have ever experienced since entering this Hobby February 2020. Both my 1:96 Blueback and 1:144 Kilo were exceptional. Great surface, submerged trims and full functionality of Rudders, Dive Planes and Stern Planes. First time I could run my Blueback at low surface throttle and turn well within my pools 14’ width.
Weather permitting I will shoot some video and post. My wifes comment was “now you don’t need another one!”, yeah right…….
The correct answer to SWMBO is ALWAYS: "Yes, dear".
Hard-stop.
Don't say another word.
Back away carefully as you frantically seek a route of escape.

Both my 1:96 Blueback & 1:144 Kilo are ready for pool testing next week. Next project will be a 1:144 Soryu Conversion, then a 3D Printed 1:144 Akula.Leave a comment:

As the bladder is filled air inside the wtc would become pressurized and it would leak pass through a normally placed seal. Placing it inboard would prevent that but leaves you vulnerable to leaks as you go deeper. Maybe install 2 seals placed back to back or swap it out with O-ring.Last edited by redboat219; 05-10-2021, 01:32 AM.Leave a comment:

David, how does the opposing gear shaft adhere to the endcap, I am confused1 PhotoLeave a comment:

I hear you on that, I believe the motor face creates a union with it where it will not lose the pressure seal.Leave a comment:

Hi Biggsgolf.
Just want to ask your about your KILO WTC. AFAIK, you're the only one who has used the RCshipyard WTC. How is the motor output shaft sealed?Leave a comment:
