Why the Bow Plane theory on the USOS/SSRN SEAVIEW is WRONG.

Lateral sensor array sounds good , maybe eps conduits for the main deflectors so an inverse tacion pulse can be omitted......ooops wrong show.

Exactly.

And as to unsolicited advice: I weigh the validity of said advice against the actual accomplishments of the advice giver.

You either have, or you have not. Internet sleuthing does not denote accomplishment.

D'oh!!!!!!!!!!

Dave, you and Ed get a room and shut up.

I got the Seaview 38.5 inch Moebius Sub and ordered the RC parts with Bob Martin's help and I would appreciate any help that anyone has on building the sub with lights etc. I checked out online and most stuff is from a long time ago. Basically, i am wondering what light kts to use or to buy the light s Individually and I see 2 decals sets and was wondering which one people like to use. This is my first attempt to build an RC and add lights, so any tips would be most appreciated. I did buy Bob's guide, so i know it will take lot of time and work to do this right and I am hoping to join the RC Sub community, if this works and i enjoy it, I am looking at a few other subs i would like to create. Thank you, Alan

Well damn, there goes my life's work!

David's latest iteration of the Moebius Seaview without the movable manta ray fins. As he noted in another thread, those deflector vanes inside the nacelle are enough to counter the bow down attitude of the Seaview

Welcome to group.
Better to post this in it's own dedicated thread as it's bound to get buried in this.

Your fixating on the wrong thing here, my friend. Lights and decals are the least of your worries. Get your cylinder set up and working perfectly. Get your linkages set up and working perfectly. Install the cylinder and get it working perfectly.

Once you get the practical functionality of your boat sorted, worry about making it look pretty.

Bob are you making the Seaview fittings kit and 2" SD available again or are you pertaining only to the 2.5" SD?

Just like in any fantasy, anything is possible.

No plans to even glance at reincarnating that fittings kit. Sorry.

Again, people.. the fittings kits were awesome for making life easy for conversion, BUT they are in no way whatsoever required to convert these kits to RC.

Once upon a time. No more. You guys *****ed that the fittings kits cost too much.

What?!... you don't know how to build things? Your school stopped offering shop-class? You don't have the time to use your hands and brain? Guess you're SOL. Bid your time, boy's: Star Trek Replicators are right around the corner -- just imagine your glorious sense of accomplishment and pride once you mash the 'enter' key and your perfect SEAVIEW r/c submarine poops out of the machines back-side. You didn't have to do a damn thing other than make a menu selection.

Brave new world.

Indeed!

Question:
Would the Seaview still handle well with just stern planes, no manta ray planes and fixed sail planes?
