Flying Sub old

[FaramirCl]

how do you control it when submerged? AFAIK, water should block RC

[Polysixchick]

I want one! want to play with it in the bath!

[johnstarnes]

Nice....I loved that and the sub on Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea!

[reddeerguy70]

does your flying sub ahhh  fly?

[eimb1999]

VERY nicely done! Great model!!!



[ncx1234]

the funding necessary isn't truly obtainable for most citizens, such as nuclear engines. Most large companies don't seem to even try to make such "trivial" machines, though I can see a lot of future profit in the invention of a working, lifesize model.

[the60sKid]

What kid in the 60's would have killed for this back then.

[TheTheo58]

Admiral Nelson was an absolute genus with designing and building the Sea View

along with the N.I.M.R. When the Flying Sub was designed and built, no doubt

Nelson used some type (perhaps top secret) of super alloy for the haul. Which was

light enough for flight and strong enough to withstand pressure in the depths of the sea. The craft did have nuclear engines, along with ballast tanks.

[ShazibElahi]

I must be missing the point. Why is everyone finding this "Awesome"?

[anthony3leaves]

but it duzent fly!!!!!! )'=

[enoorkoiv]

Superb well done.

[jerry4915]

i whant that



[roberttreboranita]

nide! looks like the one out of voyage to the bottom of the sea...tv show. very nice  model! rob

[artophonic]

this way too cool...I want one.

[planthi80]

how do i get one for purchase?

[planthi80]

how do i get one made for me?!!!

[AbiltyStrike666]

it looks like a stingray,

[binoculord]

This is awesome!!Do you still have this??!!

[binoculord]

AMAZING

[binoculord]

All in your head and on 3d cad!!!!!!!!!AMAZING!!A sub that works without a hitch,the other rc subs Ive seen are slow...this one moves quickly! my compliments.

[hairybackbuddy]

Totally cool....I hope you put this one on ebay soon and build yerself one that will swim AND fly!!!

[chopperchuck]

that is so cool i had the model wen i was a kid ,that was a long time a go

[atalis1]

paint it blue and put a tail on = manta ray!!;D

[ejrigby]

Hey, that's great!  I'm impressed with the propulsion system.

[funnytourtoise]

hmm... looks like a ray ^^

[scorpiowatertiger]

Kinke, it's OK that it doesn't fly...it looks gorgeous and it swims and dives and loop-de-loops!

I built the plastic (Revell?) model when I was a kid, and you made me feel forty years younger by posting this video. I hope you'll market the prototype someday soon, or make a bundle by finding someone who can.

Thanks and good luck!

[marceloribeirobarros]

INCREDIBLE JOB ! THE BEST !

[LateNightWithLuke]

is it remote controled or voice controled

[LateNightWithLuke]

could u give me a link to buy one of those

ps dose it really fly

[Aeolis7]

Kinke, This is incredible!

I am a huge Irwin Allen fan and

I haven't seen anything work nearly as nice. Great job!

[madpapi]

lol i hear ya dont let the wife find out :) you should sell the kit i can see alot of people are interested. good luck thanks for the reply. mike

[Kinke]

How much are people willing to pay? This was alot of time and material. I enjoyed it because this propulsion system had never been done before, and I designed it. Others may not get the same amount of joy out the investment.

[gallardo20000]

il pay $250 CAD for that

[PRIMEx420]

@gallardo20000 hilarious

[myleftnutts]

@Kinke  sure they will!!!.

[ben27854]

awesome

[KurtisERIK]

I have to admit that is very cool. However, a real flying sub is not likely. The extreme demands of flight and sumbmarines are not compatable. Even though aerodynamics and liquid dynamics are in many ways similar, subs are built to withstand pressure while planes must place a premium on keeping down weight. The combustion systems that make flight possible and those which would be useful in water don't really overlap.

[Kinke]

But it worked in the TV show with nuclear engines.

[madpapi]

how much did this cost to build and who would have the information to build your own?

[Kinke]

Cost? My wife can never know. Information? It is all in my head and on 3D cad

[cyrandel]

it didint fly tho ???

[reignofhope]

it "flies" underwater.

[CashMcCall2003]

Very Very Cool! Did you built this are purchase this? It is outrages.... I love it big fan of the Flying Sub

[Kinke]

Lunar Models makes the shell. The mechanical is custom.

[coolspindrift]

How fun is this. Very cool. Thanks for sharing this.

[Drogmir]

Cool toy!

[RunescapeNoobHelp]

Like a manta ray O.o

[alex681219]

Maybe with some stingray design (thin fuselage)the craft can fly.

I think the jets can pump air into the fuselage preparing to the fly mode, and pumps wather to the sub mode(the fuselage full of water can sumerge better...very interesting!!

[camp69]

Nice but seems a bit pitchy.

[stroppytube]

I want one too...and I want it to fly!!! :):):)

[mush1955]

What every boy wants at bathtime.

[sn0wD]

i want 1!!!!!!

[mustang0464]

Excellent Work....Would love to see more like this.  Have you tried to build a Seaview?

[mun2cat]

can fly? look like you in pool

[jramaine]

HOW CAN I GET ONE OF THOSE?

[Beamshipcaptain]

Now, make a flying/diving version! I like what you've done so far.

[wryterkb]

That's just incredible. Is it a custom hull, or Aurora/Revell/Monogram, or Lunar Models or ...?

[Kinke]

Started With Lunar Models.

[myleftnutts]

Hey that is Great! what are u using as a propulsion system?

i don"t see any propellors.

[Kinke]

Pump Jets

[MauricioCasteglione]

Super cool !!! Congratulations !

[dalzilla]

Awesome job! good enough to be used in the show in the sixties!

[davisraymond]

Good day, I design subs and its my hobby

I want to suggest something...

What you have is sting-ray not a dolphin

Your mini sub can easily maneuver up and down under water...

But It cant Break the surface of the water like dolphins do...

You must minimize the huge side fins

put a nozzle

better if you make a long cylinder shape body.

God Bless~

[Kinke]

It is intended to be the Flying Sub from the Sci-Fi TV show "Voyage to the bottom of the Sea". I wanted to fly underwater, not really to jump out. I have seen "Sushi" hulls that might be capable of jumping out of the water.
