    Pre and post mission checklist

    Posting this for Joe O from an email he sent me. Would be useful for anyone here. David built up a boat for Joe sometime back with one of his cylinders.

    "For those of us with short memories would it be possible to post a line by line pre and post launch mission/maintenance instructions for your cylinder/boat?"

    I have an actual list someplace among my papers but have to find it.

    In the meantime, Bob has an older video which explains what to do, here it is. If anyone has a PDF of the mission checklist please add it to this post.

    Good video. I hate to say it, but it appears Bob has gotten a few gray hairs since this was made. Of course, RC subs will do that to you. Hey Bob, if you see this, where did that big Russian boat end up? That was a thing of beauty.
    Of the approximately 40,000 men who served on U-boats in WWII, it is estimated that around 28,000 to 30,000 lost their lives.

      That was Dwayne Hill's Golf III. Gorgeous boat! I'll be darned if I remember where the heck that thing went. I have absolutely and without exagerration likely moved over two hundred subs through the shop. Maybe more. Hell, maybe many more. I can barely remember what I had for breakfast, let alone who bought a boat years ago!

      Checklists are on Page 170 of my book, available as a PDF download or in hard copy.

          The 12 volt 4 amph battery,- where did it go? Mid ships under the WTC in the extended bottom trough? I didn't see it when the wtc was installed so by elimination only place left. Correct? Thanks for the video.
