Good Luck! Submarines don't tend to work very well at our scale, and thus there aren't many people experienced (or interested) enough with them to help you. Perhaps the Subcommittee guys could help out; they do nothing but RC submarines. They aren't combat ships, but the know the ins and outs of RC submarines... For the 1/96 battlestations guys, subs might be more of a player then they are in 1/144 scale...there's just more room and displacement to play with. Mike D
