    What topics would you like see as a seminar at SUBFEST 2022?

    SUBFEST 2022 will be featuring three full length seminars, hosted by hobby experts. Two of the seminar topics have been selected already, those being "RCSub Operations 101" (basically Running an RC Sub for Dummies), and "2.4gHz radios in RC Subs".

    We have at least one topic open for selection and I wanted to open it up to the general population here. The benefits to this seminar won't be limited to attendees, as we will be live streaming (if feasible) and recording for upload at a later date as well. Now is your chance to queue up discussions on a topic of your choice.

    Some of the topics we came up with include the following, but if you don't see your choice listed, by all means, jot it down in this thread and we will queue it up for consideration:

    Molding and casting basics

        Unfortunately, the topic of ballast wasn’t mentioned.

          "Ballast" is pretty broad. What, specifically, were you thinking? Ballast types? Ballast valves? Ballast gas? Ballast pumps? Lead ballast?

            Oh, man! I can see this one being a big seller, for sure. Just need an untrimmed boat and someone crazy enough to trim it in real time in front of an audience!
