    Waited MANY years for this (let's say 51)

          Picked one up at the model show yesterday for $85. We shall see what can be done with it.

            The Lunar Models kit that has been sitting on a shelf now for about 5 years, patiently waiting for its time on the bench, and the Moebius Models kit i have had on pre-order since november of 2015.... like dave, i assumed it would never arrive...

              It looks great!
              Rick Teskey converted a Lunar kit to RC. I ran it a few years ago and it was really fun.
              I am hoping there is enough room inside like the Lunar kit.
              I have two of the same Princess pumps Rick used in his, but will run a different control setup.
              Mine arrives Thursday. I have printed out a full sized print and have started working on the setup.
              I will do a build if it looks like things will work out. Can't wait. BD

                Plenty of room to make it a dynamic diver similar to a flying sub. Not enough room for the same pump jet.

                  Next in line on the RC side is Rick's larger PROTEUS hull I've had sitting for years. Have the design worked out and all the components, so it's just a matter of gluing my tuchus to the bench. What I like about Rick's is his bubble WILL fit a GoPro Session. The hard part is finding a 3" ID optically clear dome. Originally had planned on working retractable legs, but a rotating camera fulfills my dream of "Capt Owen's" viewpoint.

                  Still haven't unboxed the Moebius model yet. Got slammed with the flu and still in recovery. Would sound like Donald Duck on the soundtrack and I really don't need all ya'all poking fun at me (at least not anymore than what already happens lol)

                  BTW, THAT particular blueprint is my Desktop background lol!
