    Casey,

    If you are referring to the HMS Holland!

    The Holland has been in the water! One time testing the WTC and setting up the boat trim!

    Today I put the Holland 1 together and did a quick run in the pool just to see how everything was working and checking for any leaks in the WTC!



    It all went very well. I am going to add an extension onto the bottom rudder in order to give it more surface area so I can improve on the turning radius. I may need to add two pieces of foam in the upper hull just to stabilize the boat a little more.

    Check out the youtube above for more in the water!! And by-the-way, I do not recall seeing ANY of your boats in the water!!

    Beware the potential adversary who's bought into the idea that virgins await his vaporized ass after mashing the 'launch' button; you know.... the kind of ******* who would drive a plane into a sky-scrapper. That guy. I fear that type much more than self-involved, Vodka-soaked Russian button pushers.

    I love the look of the 'modern' Soviet/Russian boats. Specifically, those that saw birth at the Malachite Design Bureau. ALFA, VICTOR, AKULA. Love 'em!

    Casey,

    I totally agree with David about the design and look of the "modern" Soviet/Russian boats. I have (2) Alfa boats built and the Borei, and I am looking forward to the Arcturus build!
