You're right on that one!

You're right on that one! They look similar except that on the picture you showed me, it had all the battery and equipment in place and everything. I couldn't catch the modeler's name nor e-mail adress (dang! ) The distance from the rear WTC endcap to the prop end is about the same with mine, 14-15 cm or so.

I think that it's very cool that we talk about these subs, perhaps we could have a "Regatta for the RC converted subs" in the near future!

The Small sub guy Peeks in every now and then.
I like to see more people make small subs.
I have not completed a small sub in quite a while, need to get
back to the sub layer and finish one.
It would be intresting to fond out what small subs people have made.
