I am in the middle of building my First Submarine a Robbie U47. I have read a few posts and note a lot of builders have gone for the static diving system. I dont want to do this for my first build but I was thinking of fitting a third servo obviously waterproofed to replace the forward hydroplane linkage beneath the conning tower. Has anyone done this is it practical (does it work!!) Does ther sub behave better for diving and surface running ? Or am I up the wrong tree

Appreciate your replies with interest and any other relevant tips

hi mate
welcome to the forum, i have done the3rd servo conversion twice now and i think the sub behaves alot better with this mod,i actually put the
servo in the aft section in a little tray, but under the tower is finei used a product called tooldip to waterproof the servo and heatshrink over the ervo wires
hope this helps
