Well.....it went great.......then realy bad

The extra weight in the sub is perfect now. It dives very very well now, and hardly cavitates anymore.


But....the pond I am sailing in is a deathtrap

I submerged, for a few seconds completely, and expected it to come up a few meters further down the pond. But then it surfaced at a 90 degree angle than the course i had set out the first place. bummer i thought, and i headed in to the shore towards me.....but the i realized that i had no rudder control. Only throttle. A few minutes later, i managed to get it back.

It must have hit a large rock on the bottom. The nose has fractured, and the lower aft fin had been completly sheered off, only hold on my the servo pushrod.
Its all easily repairable, but annoying anyway

Yesterday, i also striped out the aluminium hull retainer threads......that was a bummer too. But I managed to make a new one using 4 nuts,a hex bolt, brass tube, and a an alu insert all glued together with stabilit. Works great.
