Although I have been a lurker for a lot of years, I had never before registered. I have been on and off involved with RC airplanes for a long time, but have kind of lost interest due to needing to travel 20 miles to reach an RC airfield. I live near a small no wake lake in Nebraska, near Omaha, which is where I'd like to use the sub. I posted this in General, not Builders, because I'm not sure where to start. What I WANT to build or buy is probably not what I should start with so the questions I have are:
I have some model making experience, but that was airplanes and balsa, and they were kits. I did download and read the Steve Neill PDF from this website, but most of the methods described are ones I have never tried.
I'd appreciate any advice, including where I should have posted this if I'm in the wrong area.

- Are there other members in my area?
- Any formal or informal get togethers in my area?
- What is a good sub to start with? Price is an object but I'm not looking for something with a $100.00 cost. Hopefully I'm not looking at a $3000.00 cost either.
- Kit, purchase or scratch built? It seems that scratch means more sub for somewhat less money, at least until creeping features show up. It also means longer until you get a boat into water.
