    Mission duration

    How long do you normally run your boats in the water- 15, 30 minutes, an hour, before heading back?

    Unless I'm chasing or being chased, I'm bored after about 15-minutes. https://youtu.be/t7gDrTtxnWo

      30 minutes max, once did a duration test with the V80, it took about 2,5 hrs, she still was not empty.
      The big VIIC has a runtime for about 6 hrs, that's a complete different story

        30 minutes seems about right.

          It depends. On some of my subs the runtime is 20-45 minutes ( depending on how hard I drive it). So I am limited by the battery. Other boats I can go several hours, not that I do. Then there is the sub that takes so much darn concentration to run, that 10 minutes seems like a lifetime. If I am in a contemplative mood I can run an hour or two, but usually it is under the 45 minute time frame. I find shooting the breeze with fellow RC submariners is becoming a priority. Not sure how much time we have or how many trips around the sun we are given so making memories is important.
          If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

            When the actual run-time is only 5-minuts, but some ******* makes it seem like FOREVER! https://youtu.be/bo9Mp9nuoB4

                Rolling eyes - yup that's about right. Considerably less than it takes to go from this to grow that. Lol. I remember a kid asking me, can we watch you crash it? 'Sure kid, after we test drown you first'.
