Hello . I'm interested in RC Submarines for a long time . I made lots of research about this issue . I decided to purchase a Robbe Seawolf V2 . Also this topic in the forum (http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_2024006/tm.htm) influenced me very much . However , I have only one chance to buy a RC Submarine . I will use Robbe Seawolf V2 in a 12 meters long , 1.5 meters deep pool . Is it convenient for this swimming pool ? Do you advise me this RC submarine for the first time starter to RC Submarines (I have enough experience to build this kit) ? Can this submarine give response to my needs and expectations ? Thanks for your replies .

What is the width of the pool ?

6 meters

I do not have enough experience with the sub to answer you correctly.

Someone should pop up with a real answer.

Hi,

Considering the size of the Robbe Seawolf, you shouldn't really have any trouble running it in a pool. Performance wise, I've never actually built the boat but I hear from people that it's a very fun boat to play with. Since the Seawolf is a dynamic diver, there are people out there who are converting it a static diver using various different types of ballast tanks.

Thanks for your reply .

Hi Eskiserkan - good luck with the Seawolf. I finished mine a couple of weeks ago - it's great fun although I still haven't quite got the hang of keeping the boat straight and level while under water. I just need more practice and some more trials with the front dive plane settings. Trouble is the weather's not too good just now. When you finish the boat don't forget to put a smear of grease (Vaseline or similar) around the large O ring to seal the WTC - it keeps the water out.

God luck with the kit mate.

Hi friends:

The Seawolf is an excellent option for entering RC submarines. Here in Madrid there are 4 or 5 units navigating. Most of them are painted black as modern submarines and ALL of them have removed the front dive plane mechanism as well as the "radar" anntena on the coning tower, using the front planes just for trimming.
Also, most Seawolf "captains" here has their subs largerly ballasted so they get a very real and scale look with just the tower and a very little of the hull above the water. With this seetting the model produces a most real wake when navigating on the surface and dives and keeps submerged easily.
Just the floating security margin becomes quite narrow!, so you must be sure of your building quality and WTC watertighness as if just a small quantity of water enters the ship it may sink to the botton.

I hope you enjoy your model and have good missions.
