Hey Stan, Do you have any friends ? (sorry, JUST
KIDDING,
couldn't resist a little jab ). I should have been
more specific
about the kit. I didn't mean a full-size
submersible kit. I had
been searching for a model of the USS Nevada
(SSBN 733)
( R/C or static ). After searching the internet, I
didn't come
up with anything except for a hobby mfr. that had
it on the
drawing board for future release.
However, a full-sized sub kit would be great. I
haven't found one
yet. Probably too many liability issues for a
manufacturer to
put one out.
I've been toying with an idea about converting a
kit into a submersibles
kit. Go to Rqiley and take note of the "Trimuter"
and compare it's overall
design/shape to the "Aquasub". Do you see any
similarites?
There are sport-auto kits on the market. It seems
that with some
ingenuity and modifications to shape and materials
that one could
transform one of these car kits into a pSub. Also,
I've bought full-sized
plans of surface boats; a kayak, canoe, and a
shallow draft sloop.
The kayak and canoe designs seem to have
possibilities for conversion
to pSubs, wet or possibly dry. I'm looking into
Boston Whalers, too,
for study and consideration.
