SubRegatta 2008 TV promo : 2 SubRegatta 2008 TV promo Remote Controlled Model Subs : 3 Remote Controlled Model Subs Have been around since late 1800’s Nikola Tesla ~ 1897 : Nikola Tesla ~ 1897 4 Why Submarines? : 5 Why Submarines? Childhood interest in subs and their history. Why Submarines? : 6 Why Submarines? Building models Watching movies Why Submarines? : 7 Why Submarines? 1964 ~ “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea” Why Submarines? : 8 Why Submarines? Like the mechanical challenge Why Submarines? : 9 Why Submarines? Like electronic challenge Why Submarines? : 10 Why Submarines? The scale modeling challenge Real USSR Alfa attack sub Scale model Alfa Why Submarines? : 11 Why Submarines? Fame and Fortune? Why Submarines? : 12 Why Submarines? Get chicks! Why bother? You can’t see ‘em can ya? : 13 Why bother? You can’t see ‘em can ya? Pools are great Visibility? : 14 Visibility? Clear lakes Visibility? : 15 Visibility? Polarizing sunglasses help No polarizing With polarizing Visibility? : 16 Visibility? Stay at periscope depth or on surface in murky water! Akula by Martin Calleja Jeff Jones U-Boat How Does the Radio Signal Get to the Sub? : 17 How Does the Radio Signal Get to the Sub? Amazingly well ~ depends on: Depth Distance Water chemistry Antenna can be submerged - except in saltwater Martin Calleja’s Akula in the saltwater harbor at Malta How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? : 18 How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? Dynamic and static diving systems How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? : 19 How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? Dynamic diving No ballast tank Dive planes only How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? : 20 How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? Dynamic diving pro and con ~ Pro: safe, simple and often less expensive Con: must operate at greater than scale speed to stay down and needs to be trimmed lower in the water than ballast tank subs. How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? : 21 How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? Dynamic diving sub kits ~ Dumas makes Akula and USS Bluefish, Robbe the U47 and Krick has a Type VII U-boat How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? : 22 How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? Static diving ~ need a ballast tank How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? : 23 How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? Static diving ~ ballast tank Pro: more scale-like diving and surfacing Con: more to go wrong, generally more costly How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? : 24 How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? Static diving ~ pump ballast tanks Pump ballast subs : 25 Pump ballast subs SubTech U.S.S. Albacore kit U.S.S. Albacore as modeled by Skip Asay How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? : 26 How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? Static diving – pump with flexible tank Flexible bladder ballast system : 27 Flexible bladder ballast system U.S.S. Gato as modeled by “Big Dave” Welch Flexible bladder ballast system : 28 Flexible bladder ballast system “Big Dave” Welch ballast kit. Slide 29: 29 Flexible bladder ballast system “Big Dave” Welch ballast kit. Flexible ballast tank : 30 Flexible ballast tank Confederate H.L. Hunley modeled by Tim Smalley How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? : 31 How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? Static diving ~ semi-rigid ballast tank How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? : 32 How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? Static diving – piston ballast tank How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? : 33 How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? Static diving ~ piston ballast tank Piston boats ~ hovering : 34 Piston boats ~ hovering How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? : 35 How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? Static diving ~ air compressor operated ballast tank How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? : 36 How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? Static diving ~ airbrush propellant or CO2 operated ballast tank How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? : 37 How Do RC Subs Dive and Surface? Static diving ~ airbrush propellant operated ballast tank Small World Models compressed gas ballast tanks Pressure Hull or Water Tight Cylinder? : 38 Pressure Hull or Water Tight Cylinder? Pressure hull ~ Lots of room but very heavy Pressure Hull or WTC? : 39 Pressure Hull or WTC? Pressure Hull or Water Tight Cylinder? : 40 Pressure Hull or Water Tight Cylinder? With WTC - most of hull is free flooding. Problematic Porpoising! : 41 Problematic Porpoising! Need an angle keeping device Helicopter gyros not very effective Instead, use APC device with liquid sensor or motion sensor. Radios – 75 Mhz : 42 Radios – 75 Mhz How many channels? : 43 How many channels? One for each function Speed control Stern planes Rudder Ballast tank Bow planes Lights, torpedoes, etc, etc Slide 44: 44 How About Torpedoes? : 45 How About Torpedoes? You bet! (But unarmed of course…) How About Torpedoes? : 46 How About Torpedoes? Airbrush propellant or electric Missiles? : 47 Missiles? Sure! Pyro, CO2 or airbrush propellant Dr. Art Broder loads a missile into firing position. On-board Video? : 48 On-board Video? So far, wireless video hasn’t been practical due to limited signal strength. Local TV news crew shoot video of Dr. Qazi Khusro’s video equipped Akula On-board Video? : 49 On-board Video? However ~ one vendor is selling a periscope mounted video camera. Oregon Scientific Action Cam video camera : Oregon Scientific Action Cam video camera 50 Oregon Scientific Action Cam video camera : Oregon Scientific Action Cam video camera 51 Oregon Scientific Action Cam video camera : 52 Oregon Scientific Action Cam video camera What if it doesn’t come back up? : 53 What if it doesn’t come back up? Need a Failsafe device ~ Missing pulse sensor to blow ballast. MCD SubSafe also has a leak sensor that blows ballast if water is detected. What If It Doesn’t Come Back up? : 54 What If It Doesn’t Come Back up? Go for a swim! Rich Kohbrecher’s fleetboat nearly trapped by the weed monster! Tim Smalley dives for Joe Oliver’s U-boat caught in the weeds at a SubRegatta. Where do I buy a kit? : 55 Where do I buy a kit? Can’t just walk into the corner hobby shop to buy an RC submarine kit and find someone who actually knows about the hobby. Need to go to a specialist!
