    March FunRun in L.A. - next one is April 15th!

    Just to get it out right away, the next run is April 15th 2017.

    SubRon7 went down to the FunRun with the Gato and the Neptune SB-1.
    Sam wanted to try some underwater filming (and I did too!). We found that it needs some tweaking. One the camera will need a corresponding weight to make it more neutral. As it was it gave the sub a slight up pitch which was great for getting the surface of the water and sail of a sub. He also did some hand held shots and learned he needs to go slower and steady. Next time! I will post the best of sometime.

    The water was a little more cloudy because of rain the prior few days, but it is still clearer than most lakes I see our subs run in. The forecast was originally for rain, then a percentage, mostly cloudy, to it being a sunny day with clouds that would break the sunlight every now and then.

    Will Oudmayer caught this shot of the Gato:

    I did not take many photos as the subs ran so well, I did not make the time to take photos.
    If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.
Working...
