Hello everybody!
Well here it goes! I'm a newcomer to the world of R/C subs - though I am no stranger to the world of R/C in general. I have flown all different types of R/C planes for quite a few years, and have built many of my own, both gas and electric. While aviation is my "first love," I have always had a fascination with submarines. I ended up selling off most of my R/C aircraft and equipment as I'm graduating college soon and I just didn't have the space or location to fly them anymore. After not having a project to work on for a long time, I started to look more into the world of R/C submarines.
After doing a copious amount of research (I started here!), I stumbled across a really nice looking Trumpeter 1/144th scale Kilo-class kit on eBay! After talking to the seller (who is awesome and goes by the username toypilot here and on eBay!), I decided to pull the trigger and start bidding - I just couldn't get the idea of building an R/C sub off my mind! Well, as luck would have it (or pure determination LOL), I won the auction and am now the proud owner of the beautiful kit!
I will be posting a build thread later today. I am pretty darn technically competent and creative, but this is a whole new world for me and there's a very good chance I will need some help and advice from all of you old-timers!
See you all around!
