    Question about the Mystic DSRV

    Anyone on here have any direct experience with Mystic or similar DSRV? I am 3D printing a 1/10th model of one for RC and was wondering if the prop ring was stationary or moved for directional control. Files from Thingiverse. The sub has thrusters in the bow and stern so was wondering how much of its control was due to them vs. the prop ring if any. Thank you in advance.

      The ring is gimbaled in pitch and yaw, the main propulsion propeller is not. That ring stabilizer and the lateral thrusters makes the thing supper maneuverable, underway or dead in the water.
