I hope it will work good, too

Click to see the video!

The snorkels are working and the AMP Superseal connector works, too. The boat dives reliably and can sensitively be trimmed using the proportional tank control of the Engel tanks. Some minor adjustments and then I have to answer a question that I had pushed away since now.....where to do the first real test run.

A small video of the first tests of the boat. Since then the boat got some fine tuning and now it works splendidly.

This is wonderful. It is an inspiration to those of us who are WW1 fans.

Thanks...the boat was on my to do list for a very long time and it took 3 years to realize it. I hope I can make the fuselage, sial, rudders and some small parts available for those who are into challenging builds....

Cheers Andreas
