1:72 Type VIIC

Anybody know an approximate turning diameter for a 1:72 Type VIIC?

With 30-degrees on the rudders you get a ten-foot radius. That's a twenty-or-so-diameter circle -- the model in full surface trim. About the same underwater.

On another subject, is there going to be a Sub Run in Norfolk area this summer?

Not a Sub Run -- still awaiting the OK from the local JCC for use of their outside pool. In the meantime we're negotiating with Nauticus to again do our monthly demonstrations at Nauticus at Norfolk. Stay tuned.

Here's some Nauticus vid's from years past.

Ah, the Achilles heel on mine: About 3 meters turning left and about 10 meters turning right (not that I was able to measure that as our pool is not big enough). :)
