    66" Custom Replica Nautilus

    I am finally starting to build my RC Nautilus. I have ordered Dave's 3.5 sub driver. I would welcome any suggestions from the forum as to batteries, servos, connections - and the use of the diving planes.
    Thanks,
    Jerry

    I recommend you gimble the propeller for pitch and yaw control.

        Thanks Dave - I know you have always considered the diving planes useless. What size battery do you suggest to run everything and what do you suggest for the shaft and seals.
        Thanks again, Jerry

          You have the room to stick a big 7Ah lead-acid battery in there with the needed compensating foam. Make it so!
