Hi, I just found this site and its my first post. I have just restarted building my Engel Typhoon and was wondering if anyone was building an Engel sub, and those of you with Engel subs, how do you find their performance and if you had any pointers setting it up.
I started on my Typhoon in Winter 2002 and came to an abrupt halt in summer 2003 when I got married! A baby daughter later, I have just restarted buliding and hope to get it in the water in 2006. I am at the stage of installing all the innards at the moment. I used to post a lot on the now defunct MarineRc forum. There were loads of pictures and valuable information on Engel subs which I was hoping to refer to but are now lost
. I have made some mods to my boat including a clear lexan lid, Stern trusters, operating missile doors and under water camera, supported prop shafts, external switches; if any one need any info to doing this for their boat I'll be happy to help! Oh anyone know any suitable place to operate the Typhoon say around 1hour drive from London (model friendly, more than 10 feet, jetty or something to drop and recover the sub - its heavy and I'll be doing it myself!)?
Cheers
