Have a couple friends that were assigned to Skipjacks. They loved them and still have great memories. Great vid!

[@karldunn1464]

I used to test ship piping systems on 600 class subs at Mare Island Naval Shipyard. That model brings back a lot of memory. I would'nt mind having one of those myself. Nice model

[@amiabledave50]

I was onboard the USS Skipjack SSN 585 during 78-80. It was the first boat I qualified on. Great boat. Great crew.

[@dirkbonesteel]

I was on Skipjack at the end in the late 80s. How bad did it smell in 78?

Sir give me the assembly of submarine in PDF please

Thomas Walsh Did you serve on USS Carl Vinson and USS Abraham Lincoln? MMC(SS) USN Ret.

[@thomaswalsh5097]

No. USAF 1978 - 1982 Active reservist till 1985

[@douglasreeves9938]

I served onboard USS Skipjack from 1986 to 1988. Collectively, the Skipjack class subs were referred to as "S" girls as their names all began with the letter S. MMC(SS) USN Ret.

[@zackakai5173]

Very cool to see. My grandfather was a sonar man on Skipjack at some point during the late 50s or very early 60s, so this class of boat has a special place in my family.

[@mikeyh6104]

I was on the Sculpin SSN590 from 84-87, Nuclear Machinist mate. I was one. of the divers and used to do the maneuvering watch on the sail planes. In drydock we had to clean the screw with brass brushes.

[@RobBon12]

I love this video. Was smiling like a kid watching it run in your pond. The Skipjack Class SSN has been my favorite submarine from as far back as I can remember and/or the day I got the old Aurora kit for the first time. I bought many iterations of that kit when I was younger as I ended up destroying them sooner or later in our pool. The DeBoer RC kit seems great. Glad to see I'm not the only one mildly fascinated by submarines.

[@ianhaynes5898]

Excellent model. I just happened to come across this video, I was not even aware that RC submarines existed. I found it all very interesting and will take a look at some of your other videos now.

[@davidschmidt6013]

I HAD to watch this vid. When I was a kid, 4th grade or so, I got into models. The Skipjack (never forgot that name) was the very first model I ever built. I was into subs and ships, then planes, while my brother was into cars and monsters. I later got into cars big time...(never cared for the monsters, though...) Funny, as I get older, I realize more and more the truth of the saying..."The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys."

[@brittboyette8617]

That kit came out nice. DeBoer can't be faulted for the hull being incorrect. It was built using the best plans at the time and Dennis did a good job using what he had available.

[@Gunslinger1875]

Another great build Bob! I'm a Uboat guy but this 1/48 scale has got my interest in modern boats. Hooah!😁

[@petervietmeier8066]

Very nice modell! Gratulation. I worked 4 jeahrs on german submarine.

[@2KXMKR]

Immediately want one. My spark for RC boats has come back recently and subs are definitely something I want to try!

[@rickjones6567]

Received the photo etch parts today for my 1/72 Skipjack. Can't wait to get started on her. Thanks Subguy! 👍

[@matthewpeter]

That was really interesting. I've just finished converting a Revell skipjack to RC and this one shares a lot in common with it. I do wish I'd tried to make the sail planes work. I of course made mine the Shark! Great stuff.

[@RCSubGuy]

Very cool!

[@santoshsundar1186]

Very nice video.. :) Did anyone notice the 7:23 Red Jaguar F-Type in the background? Beautiful looking car!

[@johnhoffman8203]

Was a nuc on Snook SSN 592 76-79, would have shed a tear but couldnt think of any fond memories except the day I departed her. We used to put a noise maker on her (for skimmers) for playing games when we were the rabbit, the camera looked just it. I can think of many times when the rabbit died. ETCM/SS USN (RET)

[@josephpradeepraj7638]

Wow thanks a lot, I have been wondering about a RC submarine for years

[@josephpradeepraj7638]

Simply amazing

[@josephpradeepraj7638]

Try that next time with a periscope and the camera kept inside the submarine if that will work

[@josephpradeepraj7638]

Which type of antenna should we use if the RC submarine has to fully submerge into water say about 2 ft depth

[@briangardner3050]

Always enjoy your videos...plus you drive a Jaguar F-Type...cool

[@steenmark5448]

Bob the German sub is awesome great work ..

[@tinkmarshino]

magnetic connectors! I am not a model builder and these may have been around for awhile but WOW.. what a great idea what fun

[@CharlesTrains99]

Bob, A beautiful model ,thanks for sharing your video. Boats and submarines have always been an interest of mine. I am going to " borrow " the idea for the magnetic couplings on the control surfaces. I am going to try the idea for coupling linkages for my model trains where it needs to come apart easily. Thanks again.

[@rajeshnarayanaswamy5773]

I love the way you explain, and the camera view with music is like movie...well done. Thanks for the wonderful video. Hobby Marvel

[@gtv6chuck]

Beautiful detail on the model. It appears that the foreplanes turn opposite of the stern planes, which I hadn't thought of before, but makes sense from a maneuverability standpoint.

[@caddiman9834]

Steve Neill its not a boat its a SUBMARINE.

[@firemanjim68]

FYI.....In the Navy, a vessel that can be transported by another vessel is referred to as "A boat". Traditionally, subs have always been referred to as "boats".

[@SteveNeill]

Submarines are called boats by submariners and I'm a submariner. You don't understand.

Bob do you have a full build video on this particular skip jack? I just joined my local club and met Sub Ed, he was with you over at the Groton CT fun run, this past Sunday Sept 15 he brought an amazing Sub to run after I saw it I was hooked! I’m loving this particular skip jack as it is NOT too big and looks beautiful and very realistic.

[@thescarlethunter2160]

Great vid

[@rickkephartactual7706]

Video's like this seem to make me very envious of your skills. I tried my hand (make that shaky hand) at building just a basic plastic model. To say I have the skill level of a 10 year old would be overstating my abilities. Just imagine trying to glue two small pieces together with shaky hands. Its kind of like shooting at a moving target while you are moving in a different direction. Parts end up glued where that don't belong! I hide the finished project in the closet. Maybe one day I'll have enough money to commission someone with your skill level to make one for me.

[@AG12990]

great work... keep it up

[@plumbbobwilson6931]

Nice model. I can see where you would want a little positive buoyancy with the ballast flooded so you could easily retrieve it if the receiver failed or the battery died.

[@ThisOLmaan]

thats freakin cool👍🏼🤗

[@rockmanharbinger3622]

I wanna see you dive dat boat deep man😎!..and yes u jus gotta find a way to get in at least one functional torpedo..GREAT JOB SUBMARINE GUY.😎.

"SSN Thresher" was boat 593. Seeing your model brings the destruction of the "Thresher" into startling clarity.

[@philo8035]

This is epic.

[@submarineradioman5535]

I think she still holds the USN submarine speed record with a 5 bladed screw... a shipmate of mine on Russell 687 - Dusatko an ICman served on Skipjack...

[@Tobias-qh5li]

Are you sure its the periscope that lets the air out? My non expert guess is that the mast with the lantern is the periscope. In the old days periscopes were usually circular, much less weight to do a 360 degree then. My guess is that the other mast(=letting air out) is a communication or surveilence mast(or a snorkel mast without the top).

[@firemanjim68]

Its a snorkel...slip of the tongue...he corrects himself in another video.

[@lochinvar00465]

I'd like to see a replica of the USS Halibut in this scale. I have a 1:350 scale model of it and it's too tiny to make into RC(only about a foot long and an inch wide). And you could make both versions (missile ops and special ops) I served on her back in '73-'74 on special ops. A VERY unique boat from the first glance. Sadly, when she was decommissioned they scrapped her(facepalm).

[@gordonyork6638]

Cool. Why didn't you incorporate the camera into the sail? Now it looks like a sub with a camera attached to the back.
