Just thought I would post a few photos of my Nautilus and Akula. This was a great idea. I wish more would post photos. BD.

Paul, The

Thanks Guys.
Paul, The Nautilus is a Ray Mason hull. It uses six channels, rudder, planes, ESC, ballast, APC-tilt, and lights. I have a CO2 ballast system from Mikes Subworks. Both the foreword and rear planes work (although they don't do much). They work more for slight trim changes. I have the APC on a tilt assembly connected to a servo so I can adjust it from the radio. The depth is controlled more from the ballast system. I have two Clippard valves for vent and blow and they are set for a slow release so I can hover at any depth. The salon is illuminated as well as the wheelhouse lenses. Also the eye lenses over the wheelhouse ones flash red and green for port and starboard. I did have to add a removable clear plastic cheater rudder to get her to turn well. BD.

Do you have any pictures of you apc tilt control. I have been attempting this with my boat but, I am running into mechanical limitations. I would love to see how you did it
