About this boat
Another toy, courtesy of Amazon 7 or 8 years ago.
I bought the beast for about £12 / 15€. It was on offer!
I use it at model exhibitions where there is a pool.
The sub is about 15cm/6" in length, complete with basic r/c system.
It will sail forwards and reverse, turns to the right and left courtesy of water jets, and by use of 2 buttons on the top corners will submerge and resurface. It has rechargeable batteries inside, these are recharged by use of a fly lead from the tx!
The main users are children and sometimes adults who want to have a go!
It generates lots of interest, so much so that sometimes children join the club and go on to build small freelance fishing boats - the majority of models are fishing and military boats, we have the Brest naval base close by and several fishing ports.

i have seen the submarine diving in the pond of the parc and no technical problems whatsoever. It is incredible, the technicety , the seize, and a clubmember has it already for 2 years without any trouble. So it is no chi.......rubbish.
Doug, I suspect the thing is already submerged . . but will it come back up . .???
I have my doubts . . . 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Amazing
Would like to see her in action.
Maybe you could video her next outing?
Diving mechanism in such a small hull borders on impossible!
Cheers, Doug😎
