Re: Control devices on RC subs

Hi JC,
Sounds like you are using RCABs with Art Broders Blood Pressure tester pump. Good choice. My type VII uses the same set up. Normal RC sub controls are fore planes for depth control and stern planes for pitch control. Thing is on a sub this size you could sacrifice the fore planes with no detriment to the performance. This will also help with the linkages and the method of hull opening. I have gone for an annular hull opening (like the Robbe U47), if you have a fore plane connection you will need a transverse (length way) opening. Set the fore plans full up. Then use the stern planes as depth and pitch control. I use a fairly old Norbert Brueggen (www.modelluboot.de) pitch controller. When the transmitter stick is moved the controller is overriden and you control the planes manually. Have good look around Norberts site he has a nice video to download of his Revell conversion kit in action. You will see what I mean. Hope this helps. Dave.
