Steve Jensen's Type VII sports a beautiful paint job and with a lot of work behind him, he now has it running well.

U.S.S. Blueback
|

|
|
I was looking for a sub small enough to carry on board a plane and compact enough to run in a pool. The Blueback was the one I chose.

Gary ran this model for her sea trials at the Edina (MN) Model Yacht Club's Parade of Model Boats show June 8, 2003. After an electrical glitch that seemed to fix itself, the sub performed perfectly!

H.L. Hunley - Confederate submersible
|
Tim Smalley
|
|
I started this model having no idea how long it was going to take to build. Having never scratch built a hull before, it was an eye-opening experience! Every time I thought I was on my way, I would learn something new about the "real" HL Hunley.

The Irish ROV-er
|
Tim Smalley
|
|
While not a stereotypical radio controlled sub this camera equipped and totally home made ROV - was a personal challenge to build for $100. I found some plans in a book called "Build your own ROV" and altered them for my purposes.
