RE: Walmart Submarine = Cool ! Part II

My dad is from Virginia, in the Blue-ridge Mnts, but we live in Far-East Asia, which is close to Hong-Kong :D. The person we know says they can get the Dallas at least.

RE: Is this sensible (or possible)?

RE: Walmart Submarine = Cool ! Part II

Well, I was looking (and almost bought one), but since I've decided to build my own, I think I'll postpone getting one and modifying it for now. They sell them in Hong Kong, which is nearby, and we...

RE: Is this sensible (or possible)?

RE: Is this sensible (or possible)?

Yah, after thinking about the circle diameter, I thought it might be better to adjust the angle on the thrust motors. like an upside down V.
