HMS X-Class Stickleback Midget Submarine

How about those UV resin you cure with a UV flashlight.

Thank you Romel,

I do not have access to a UV light nor do I have the resin required. I will go with Bob's suggestion, and use either epoxy or superglue.

No problem.

Just in case...

Things might be changing!



It's been about 5 years ago I received a partial 2" sub driver from David M. It was sort of set up to be used on my 1:77 scale Nautilus that I built back then. I did use it for the Nautilus, but I had some other parts and pieces that he sent me that I think will work on my Stickleback!? I will need to add another servo for the dive planes. But the good thing is I have a VEX receiver inside. I have 2 VEX Transmitters with extra modules, so I am in business with this new set up. Thanks to David M.

I have been having some issues with my eyes, and I have an appointment today for some testing, so I will be of the blog for a while!

Got a little building done today!



Mounted the stern shaft bushing for the propeller shaft.





Now that I have all the brass sleeves and control surface rods sized and cut, I can now secure the stern section to the rest of the bottom hull.

How about a tire valve stem or form some silicone to plug the hole and wrap the antenna. Similar to how they make the flame shape on a LED votive candle.

Not sure what the purpose of what you are trying to achieve here!?

You are planning to glue a tube for your antenna to your watertight compartment. So suggested other options. The tire valve has gaskets and threaded barrel to make a watertight seal. Using silicone you could seal the tubes you have together with a more flexible connection. Or just using silicone you could mold it around the antenna for a seal. The candle showed that the LED could be molded to look like a flame as it was covered.

I understand what you are trying to do. Thank you your input. Another option I could use, but at this point I am not going with the 2.4 system on this boat.

We all have that, it's called the sun.
