AMAZING RC SUBMARINE TORPEDO FIRING/LAUNCH DEMONSTRATION

AMAZING RC SUBMARINE TORPEDO FIRING/LAUNCH DEMONSTRATION
We've always been fascinated by RC submarines on 'Essential RC' and it was great to film this demonstration by Martin Prior from Crowborough Model Boat Club at the Southern Model Show at Headcorn Aerodrome in Headcorn, Kent, UK.
Filmed by Dom Mitchell for the 'Essential RC' KZbin channel at the Southern Model Show using the Panasonic AG-UX180 Pro 4K camcorder.

That's pretty impressive. So easy to dismiss the novelty, yet something like this poses some significant challenges in engineering, and model building skills.

[@robertofortuni6886]

yes, it's very difficult to mimic the real vessel physics in such a small scale/weight; look at the asymetrical diving for example, or the banking when turning; and firing a torpedo with no FPV from the tubes is also very difficult; thumbs up for the detail and realistic torpedo launching and trajectory.

Instead they had these little plastic submarines that you would put a little baking soda in the bridge area with some vinegar I think that would make it sink and rise in the bathtub.

In 1915, Germany declared the waters surrounding the British Isles to be a war zone, and German U-boats sunk several commercial and passenger vessels, including some U.S. ships. Widespread protest over the sinking by U-boat of the British ocean liner Lusitania-traveling from New York to Liverpool, England with hundreds of passengers on board. All were killed, and that's what got the United States to go into WWI after the protests became loud enough for Washington,DC to care about.
