Ill be adding some FPV gear to this and the GoPro and Mobius for external views for river/pond/lake sorties ... into the unknown

Will also be adding some lighting equipment, have 2 spare channels so some options there, still considering some kind of Grabber arm using a secondary controller.

Land, Sea or Air - we got it covered

[Tecnic]

Oooh, that's gonna be cool 

Can't wait to see the first sortie report and video

PS
Ouch !
£500 for the sub RTR 

Lochness here we come

[bigMouse]

What does RTR mean?

Thought RTD would be better, like Ready To Dive!

Nice one cobs!  I thought about a similar setup myself, although mine was going to be an underwater 4 wheel or track vehicle, with arm to retrieve sunk rc sailboats in a certain lake I know, cable umbilical to the shore, never did get around to it, the acidic nature of the lake bed would have probably destroyed any salvage value ina few weeks submersion

Thunder-Tiger Neptune SB-1 submarine modified for FPV

What does RTR mean?

ready to rumble?

[xxpitt]

you ever take it to lake windermere give me a shout and i might be able to tell you where to find a tbs discovery, if its still there like

[Cobs]

Wow £500 is expensive Tecnic, seen them new for £377, even cheaper on Ebay though, i bought a used one   That vid is probs the best ive seen from a Neptune.

ReadyToRun it means BM, you should still do that with the vehicle, i dont think the water will rot everything, i used to snorkel a lot in rivers and lakes, had some nice finds too

These are good for around 25-30 feet Dave, says in the manual max depth 10Mtrs, thats assuming its getting a signal ok, if not it will go into failsafe and surface, has 3 failsafes, TX fail/Low Battery/Water Sensors, how deep you reckon the Disco is?

[xxpitt]

Not sure it's about 10 meters out. Not sure how deep windermere gets that close to the shore. Went over the spot in a boat and couldn't see the bottom

[Cobs]

Dont think it would be too deep 10mtrs out maybe just dirty water?
If the Neptune performs well we can sort something out Dave, is it your Disco?

[xxpitt]

Was my disco. Guess it's finders keepers now

[Cobs]

Ill get some tests in, went to river this afternoon but still flooding so ill have to wait a day or so then try again, once ive FPV'd it and its lookin good well go look for it if you want, would be a cool mission, not sure on retrieval - maybe a rod and hook attached or something quick? We can get some flying in while were there

[xxpitt]

Well its been down there over a year, so lipo might be a bit puffed. But apart from that should be good to go

[Cobs]

Mission is a GO

Where did you get a boat from to look for it? Seen a vid of a plane crash into water and the guy stripped off and then found a fishing rod, dont know many peeps that carry boats tho lol

[xxpitt]

Stated in a boat house and underneath there was a half inflated dingy with one oar, half filed with water. Had a hole in the back for a motor So couldn't empty it. Was thinking about divino in but it was snowing and when my toe touched the water I nearly had a heart attack. Fishing rod with a weight on might of got it but didn't have one

[Cobs]

Thats Madness mate
