    Just Launched The Type XXI Mod To Dive By Robbe

    Just returned from another very sucessfull run of about 2 hours and I am amazed at how controlable and predictable this sub handles.Also how she can turn in an emergency or the sharpest she will go.

    with the radio programed to advance or retard the left or right screws acording to the direction of the rudder realy helps her swing that tail over.
    And she turns on her center axis well enough to not need a bow thruster.
    Also I dont feel that a leveler would be needed as this sub holds her depth to precition and a periscope run is no problem!

    Just a bit more lead in the tail is neede and she will level out even better and about an ounce more lead amid ships so that she dives a bit faster in the oxiginated lake since my test tank has no oxigen in it.

    The guns move and the scopes run up and down along with the very cool running dive plane extract retract sysytem.
    If any one is interested in me building a sub for them just let me know, great low fees!!

      The finished product ready to

      The finished product ready to go back into the sea to meet her fate.
      Her masts are retracted for the process.












      A real rust bucket and that was my aim to give her alot of distres and character as she was at the end of the war and after her salvage.
