This is a remote control Balao class submarine we are building. My son carved the hull out of 2x4's. So far it will be a "dynamic" diving submarine, meaning that the submarine's forward speed plus the diving planes will force it under water. Eventually we will experiment with a ballast tank that we could flood or pump dry to achieve neutral bouyancy. This would make it a "static" diver.

    The diving U-boat was an Academy model kit we bought. I has a rear dive plane that moves down by its own weight to submerge the submarine, the up when the water hits a small paddle on top of the coning tower to surface the boat. This process repeats untill you run out of pool. We thought we could modify the model to RC but it's just to small so we are building this. We added controllable forward dive planes that the Academy model didn't have.

  • What an awesome project!!! Are the controls and motors similar to your diving U-boat?
