David"... well, that takes care of Jorgenson's theory!"

We'll be watching, but be aware that while posting up the link to your channel will garner a handful of views, unless you can show steady and meaningful progress, you'll lose your audience quickly.
If there is anything we can help with, be sure to let us know. Better to leverage the collective intellect here than struggle through on your own...

Yawn. Yet another 'started' project. Show me the finished work if you want any chance of blowing up my skirt. The Internet is choking with never-to-be-completed stuff. Are you one of those guys?

Well, I'll be darned. It goes up, down, forward and back! That's further than most get. Well done! Very interested in seeing how you tackled the technical implementation of ballast and control. I assume the two thrusters provide yaw force by applying thrust in opposite directions?

William,
I am always cautious when someone says I am building an RC submarine from scratch. Like David and others, there are so many started, but few finish. I am impressed with what you have done. I will be curious to see it in the real world (running outdoors). It looks like you are using a 2.4GHz radio and maybe in a tub 2 feet away it works, but if it works in the wild, I will be really impressed as it flies in the advice I have been told. Congratulations and loo forward to seeing what you have done.
Peace,
TomIf you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

Hi, and yes you are right, I was wondering if a 2,4Ghz Radio would work underwater. My ambitions are 2 meters deep max, no more. I will test it in real soon. Can you tell me theoretically does 2,4 Ghz normally work under water? What do you use normally for underwater radio control? Still learning, it's all good fun, Best,
William

Well that is annoying, but I should have done more research first. I had actually and someone said it could work (less fare) but It could. Anyway thanks for your suggestion. Is their any way of "converting" my RC receive and transmitter to 72-75MHZ? Just hopping... but not very convinced... Thanks in advance!

Bob sells a nice 75MHz radio, it would be cheaper (and legal) to just buy one.
