I'm retired Navy onboard subs and my first boat was the USS Pickerel SS 524 in 1970 out of Charleston, SC. I remember a picture in the mess decks of the WW2 Pickerel and now to see it in RC is amazing and brings back memories. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, back in the late 90s i was all over the 32nd Parallel website dreaming about this kit. It's really awesome seeing it featured in a video.

Wow, the weathering and rust look real! I build scale RC airplanes, but this is next level complexity. Submarines are fascinating and yet scary! I guess that’s why I like to read Clive Cussler books!

Wow! That is the COOLEST RC model I have ever seen. The weathering is so realistic and your technical savvy is amazing! I love this. All the best.

As soon as I saw this I said “32nd Parallel!!”. I wanted one of these hulls back in the day but didn’t have the $$ for one. Best I could do was the full scale plans from them. I vaguely remember someone out west who built the USS Pampanito out of this hull. Thanks for the tour of this fine model sub 👍👍

A fascinating look at a 1/32 scale full function RC submarine, a real pleasure and education for me, thank you.

This R/C submarine model is outstanding! The large scale & exceptional detail create a very realistic model!

Hi I just found your channel by accident. I can’t believe what you have here. I have never given it any thought whatsoever in my entire life. Well I am Totally Blown Away by this. I have sent a link to this to a good friend that is a Navy Veteran that did his time on a submarine and continues to be involved until today with submarines and submarine groups. Thanks for what you do here on UKposts you definitely made my day.

Fantastic run through! Ive been trying to build a 'smokeless' smoke system for my 144 scale RC warships and that looks like a perfect solution! That sub looks really well thought out.

That my friend is the coolest rc I've ever seen .

Sweet I am so glad I found your site I have been building RC boats and planes for over 30 years not only submarines are very cool

I'm not really into the RC boat scene but that is incredible!

I wouldn't be afraid to ride in a DSRV built by you!

Fantastic model and great video explaining it all. Extremely well done. Proper Job!!!

Beautiful (huge) boat. Nice detail and hardware work.

One of my favorite boats next to the Nautilus

What a beautiful model. Thank you for sharing

Just brilliant

Beautiful model 👍

Now that's a monster. Holy cow 😳!

Amazing build!

Beautifull boat....Well Done.

Nice overview

That’s fantastic

Fantastic!!!! Want to have one

Beautiful boat

I am successfully operating my two subs already since beginning of last year with an ELRS 868/900mhz radio system. By this way I have the benefit of using any modern 2.4ghz radio equipped with a rf module slot, and running OpenTX or EdgeTX such as e.g. RadioMaster, FrSky, FlySky and so on. And I can dive as deep as previously possible with my old 40mhz radio sytem and at least with same range. So no need to have a surface antenna as necessary for 2.4ghz, which limits diving to periscope depth.

This one came out incredibly well! I wish you'd have been able to do that XXI too.

Awesome

I believe I have one of these subs minus the RC set up. Mine is the same size, feels like aluminum but the upper deck section that is removable on yours looks to be sealed and filled in. Mine has the nav lights, swivel guns but everything else seems to be static. Any information on these old hulls? Thanks, great work here!

Nice!

pretty cool! I see the Robart Retracts valve in use for your periscope. Pretty clever!

So very nice!!!

A bit bigger and you could go inside the sub. Thanks for sharing.

"Liquid gas backup system"...I can relate

I love to see an RC CG!

RC Subs like these would make very effective weapons in our military. Imagine a swarm of these out ahead of an armada armed with explosives. We will be One.

Stunning beauty! 😊🥰😍

Hey bob, can you show a closeup of where the hitec watertight servo lead, that connects to the water tight cable lead, that then plugs into the connector at the wtc?

Impressive Job! 73 from BRASIL

I use a Radiomaster 16ch 2.4 radio and it's expandable to 32 channels and won't break the bank. It might be worth looking at. Very detailed video thank you

Oh wonderful

11:48 if the props are reversible, didn't hear you mention it, it should turn pretty nicely.

That's just beautifully impressive!

Awesome rc and great explanation of the boat. I wonder though would it been better to use the emergency air system for the fall safe instead of the pumps?

YES,STILL GOTTA PUMP UP DA PERISCOPE...LOL..SOOOO COOL

I still have an old 32nd Parallel catalog laying around somewhere. I wanted to build one of their kits, but could never afford it before they went out of business.

Nice ballao class SS. What about huge model of 613 project?

Thanks for posting, great videos and boats look great, do you have one RTR for sale, or know some who might?...thanks

WOWWO!!! She;s HUGE!!!!!!

Hi Bob

Take one of your subs to Lake Tahoe sometime and record some underwater footage. You’ll have no problem seeing probably 100+ feet out.

Yeah, I think the Cartels have slightly larger RC subs plying the Gulf.

That's a huge boat.

Where did you get that large poster of the Disney nautilus hanging on the back wall? I would love to get one

Superbe modèle !

Really cool RC but I do think it's a shame not to have functioning Torpedoes especially since the rig was built with Torpedo bay doors. But again super cool rig! 👍👍

Holy Cow!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW! 😱😁👍👍🇺🇲

Where can I pick up one of those controllers and how much does it cost

It's just "SS-316". There's no "N" designator. That would mean that the Barbel was nuclear, but we all know that Baleo Class was diesel.

👍 AWESOME !!! 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺😁😁😁

And Very Cool!! I want one, hahahahaha

Run Silent , Run Deep

Grandly ... !! 🤔

When I was 12 years old I think I seen this sub at a local pond. They had a rc boat event the owner was shooting gas powered torpedoes at a battleship.

Pretty awesome but man does it take up space

this is cool , but i am amazed no one hasn't built a RC sub at least 20 feet long , seems it would be most realistic in the water aside from just being flat out awesome , if i had unlimited funds i would have a WW2 rc sub built 30 feet long and spare no expense in detail , and i would have Howards H4 Hercules built also , 65 foot wing span with 8 radials RC of course also spare no expense in detail

My God, It's look like fishing kayak

Can you purchase these?

just imagine you can operate that sub rc in deep water like in philippine sea with corals and fish..

Is this submarine for sale

You need a diver and maybe he can get some cool video

very nice Project, raise the fist ^^

What? We didn’t get to go to sea?

If the anchor doesn't work, I'm not impressed !!! :)

Awesome video. But, It should be a crime to make a video this long and not include a lengthy and functional video afterwards!

Very cool, but for the money and time the electronics are a mess.

Looks more like a massive piece of plastic , wood and .. (carbon) fibre (glass)to me. Wth RC controls motors and propulsion. This of course is an advert for the sale of this product. You can probably buy it for a gazillion dollars because it is only a limited run product and it takes a while to manufacture. Obviously if there are several made prior to (advertising in this forum) - the availability will be there but probably at about 10 times what it is work in terms of materials, Intellectual Property , etc. These days virtually any item is available off the shelf so the cost can be minimised by shopping around. The moulds are easy enough to make if you have a workshop. So where is the value to cost ratio? Mostly bragging rights - its value is an iota of its cost. To say you made it yourself, while partly true (in a buyers case) it is not really true is it? Plus it is limited in functionality. Picture a catamaran with a 3.5 hp petrol engine aluminium alloy composite . Similar to size shape and power as a brushcutter engine but designed for light weight. as such cost is upward of 6 x that of a replacement small Internal Comb. Engine. It will drive all propulsion, charging etc. It is configured 'ground wave'. the 20 inch prop provides lift and a minimal horizontal thrust. I have several motors - diecast and other for more lift and propulsion along with xyz tilt , yaw , etc control. It is made of PVC pipe from any hardware store - used for drainage and supply these are readily available with adaptors, and bends etc to suit. It is also submersible. Design is 90% complete. Parts are about 70% in my hand. I do not expect many design teething problems. At this stage. LOA is 1.5-2 metres.weight about 8-10kg. range ? The sky should be the limit. thrust 10-15 kg. As to usefulness. It would be limited only by the users imagination. so to return to your header or title I can supply a product that is 10 times more versatile, with lots of practical applications. It is certainly "massive", practical and would probably cost the buyer the equivalent of what you will be selling or marketing for.

I never saw that "sub" actually underwater which makes that "sub" nothing more then a fair sized ship. this video: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/oIZjf6Scmm6Jw5s.html show a 1.5 meter Typhoon class submarine that actually goes Completely underwater. His video does not have any loudmouth with an attitude on it, just music. think you can top that?

Use this for underwater footage of bikini's!🤣

Bring that to Florida and we will tun it up the clear blue Rainbow river in Ocala. Perfectly calm water 4ft-15ft 1 mph current 5 miles long. We will stand on our pontoon boat and follow the sub up river!

*SO.... AND WHAT YOU "SEE" .... WHEN UNDER WATER !!! ( FUN 0% )*
