КЛААААССС СУПЕР!!!=)=) ПРОДОЛЖАЙ ДЕЛАТЬ ВИДЕО!!!Я ОБОЖАЮ КОРАБЛИ!;);)

[Rapidnadion]

@Metallurg1000 Большое спасибо! Мы будем продолжать делать видео, если вы продолжаете наблюдать за ними! :)

[legojoe12345]

Do you have some pictures of the build and can you post them if you do?

[Rapidnadion]

@legojoe12345 Will be posting just such photos shortly over at our website. We'll also be creating a how-it's-made video for this boat in the coming weeks.

[legojoe12345]

@Rapidnadion Awesome, Thanks!

[Rapidnadion]

@legojoe12345 The how-it's-made video is now posted! Check it out on our channel page under "Sewer Pipe to Submarine."

Hi everyone !!!

Can anybody tell me if 2.4GHz radio transmitters send a signal to a submarine receiver under water.???

Thanks .................... :-)

[Rapidnadion]

@MrHelidude A quick Google search indicates that 2.4GHz won't penetrate water well. You'll want to use a lower frequency. Fresh water tends to give you less trouble than salt water, also.

[MrHelidude]

@Rapidnadion

Thank you kindly for your info.

Great video & amazing submarine.

When I go past Singapore, one of the many hobby shops there has an enormous R/C submarine in their shop window. I Hope that I will get to see one in the water one day ............. :-)

[Rapidnadion]

@MrHelidude Thank you! We also hope you'll get to see it underway someday. In the meantime, we'll keep making videos. :)

[mattyt51]

is virginia a state in amercia?



[Rapidnadion]

@mattyt51 Yes, it is. It's on the Atlantic coast, and home to the U.S.'s largest Naval Station.

[mattyt51]

@Rapidnadion Well i was thinking because i didn't know. PS I LOVE THE SUBMARINE

[Rapidnadion]

@mattyt51 Thank you!

[HarrisonBonesOwns]

That is sweet did you make it or buy it? And if you bought it where from? Keep up the awesome videos

[Rapidnadion]

@HarrisonBonesOwns Thanks! This model was scratch-built from a PVC pipe, mahogany, basswood, and a host of other materials. We'll have a making-of video up soon!

[Dirtboy101]

As usual, very cool! What camera do you use for your underwater sequences?

[Rapidnadion]

@Dirtboy101 Thanks man! We're using a GoPro Hero HD (first generation).

[TheNoizeController]

Subbed! Awesome videos u have there!

[Rapidnadion]

@TheNoizeController Very glad you like them! Thanks!

[kennethjohngujol]

could you make a u boat :)

[Rapidnadion]

@kennethjohngujol We could, but it would take a lot of work and we've got other projects on the horizon first. :)

[kennethjohngujol]

@Rapidnadion good luck mates :)

[YellingDingo22]

Ah, I love scratch built submarines. Don't you just hate it when people forget to make the prop movement and fin operations move at scale speed. It really kills the realism. I like how you used a speed controller on the prop, so you're not just tapping the throttle to make it acheive low speeds. You should really do a how-to video.

[MrBob1423]

@YellingDingo22 yeah i agree 100%

[Rapidnadion]

@YellingDingo22 Thanks very much! We can get away with operating this sub at pretty unrealistic speeds, thanks to the cameras we use. We film between 60 and 240 fps, so slowing down the footage really gives these things a sense of scale and mass that would otherwise be lacking. You're right about the speed control on the throttle; it's much more fun to see the thing moving at bare steerageway. We'll be doing a how-it's-made video soon!

[hongrand]

In the first video how did the submarine lose signal?

[Rapidnadion]

@hongrand Salt water interferes with radio waves.

[galysica1950]

@Rapidnadion how deep it can go ?

[Rapidnadion]

@galysica1950 Not sure on the crush depth of this hull, but the signal issue won't let it dive much deeper than a foot or so at this point.

[hongrand]

Why didn't you put torpedoes on?
