Happy Easter.

CA? Why not a cohesive agent?

I built one of these as an Aurora kit, and I remember the little hatch at the top that showed the atomic reactor. How in the name of God, could you build an RC sub this small? What a glutton for punishment, but what a brilliant design. My hats off to you, David.

Will that 1.25" SD fit in the X-craft?
recommended receiver?

Yup.

Lipton-6 or the small Wfly receiver. Any number of small 75-72mHz receivers out there.

Just watched your latest youtube video about the 1/230 Skipjack.


what's her static trim?
How far up is sail submerged when stopped?

Only a quarter inch of sail projects into the air with proper trim established.

Impressive. filé, Its astonishing these days. Imagine agents with hidden 3d scanners in submarine yards scanning a classified sensitive part of the sub under construction. If I thought of this, a dummy like me, the agencies that like to refer to themselves as 'the company' surely must have thought of it too.

Scan is accurate even down to the hull cuts for touring her so why did Howard them make his STL files to print then with wrong blade counts on both props? Proprietary? Whatever.

That's right! Forgot to mention that in my response to Steve. Don't get lofting better than that!

Thanks for the follow-up, Andy.

Here is a 3D photometric scan of USS Albacore which is very detailed, you can use your mouse to view from all angles. Perhaps this was used for making the model?

I understood these 3d files have been created from 3d scans of the original boat?
