The D&E SubDriver for the 1:232 Revell Skipjack is a marvel once assembled, but comes from the Caswell empire as a mystery to be solved. There is a bag with lexan tubes, resin castings, and various other items. Documentation is limited to a single sheet that includes an inventory of the parts provided, as well as a partial listing of what's required to fit out the SubDriver. See:
The Revell Skipjack Electronics Kit
BT50 2 x Micro Servos
ESCMN 1 x Nano Speed Controller
AK1 1 x ADF Pitch Controller and Failsafe
SL-6 Nano or SL-8 Radio Receiver
KSE002-LPG 1 x LiPo Guard Battery Saver
V800 1 x 800 mAH LiPo Battery
LiPo charger
***new addition (?) *** Mission switch
What's the mystery? How to best assemble the kit. In some ways, this kit is the most demanding of the D&E SubDrivers. Why so? ... No instructions (we're fixing that here), no pre-wiring, novel magnetic couplings for the control rods, and very tight confines to work in. Perhaps the Wizard can be distracted for a few moments each day to walk us through this assembly step by step.
