Hi Subzero - Yep I first got to hear about it on the Mayhem forum when someone was asking about suitable models for beginners. I've downloaded the manual for it and I'm giving it some serious consideration. Some very good photos in the manual but very little written info. What I'm wondering is about the rudder and dive plane control rods - they just seem to go from the WTC via some sort of rubber grommet (not with bellows like the Robbe subs) but I can't really decide whether the whole rod slides about in the grommet or if one rod is inside another a bit like a stern tube - not that it really matters too much of course as long as you can keep the water out. lol I've also seen a couple of videos of the sub - it looks fine and it dives and surfaces fairly quickly - looks OK. I'm just hoping to drop on someone who's built one.

Cheers,

Periscope
