Just wondering.

Just saw an excellent scratchbuild of the Cetacean from "Man from Atlantis": http://www.therpf.com/f11/cetacean-m...00/index7.html

That got me wondering how hard it would be to make an RC version of this design?

The WTC would have to fit in the connecting pipe. There's not much in the way of control surfaces. Just the rear rudder, which would not be effective at all when running on the surface, and the forward diving planes. I suppose the propeller could be mounted on a gimbal . . .



Just thinking.

Maybe an image would help.

Using the door on the sail for a standard of measurement, the Cetacean comes out to be 184 feet long (56 meters) with 34 (call it, 35) foot diameter spheres.
At 72nd scale, she would be 30.7 inches or 78 cm long with spheres 5.7 cm in diameter.

She would be a cool scratchbuild if nothing else.
