FreekS Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share #92 Posted October 15, 2014 Hello all, Slowly this thread is turning into a sailing rather than a building log! Last weekends trip to a nice clear lake in Cologne, home of the oldest German model sub club. Note slight damage due to underwater collision Also note the even older sub encountered in the last few seconds...

ianmajor Posted October 16, 2014 Share #95 Posted October 16, 2014 Freek, That older sub looked to be a bit of a bully! You are braver than I sailing the boat under a lake.

FreekS Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share #97 Posted November 23, 2014 Hi all November 23rd, 12 degrees C outside and sunny! Today I went back to the cologne rowing club waters, my sub was followed under water by an ROV taking pictures. I must say, model subs look fabulous in their own element! Still some work planned, I want to replace the wires to the mast (they stretch too much), install turnbuckles, decals, and a few other things Freek Omega1234, ianmajor, qwerty2008 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreekS Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share #100 Posted September 22, 2015 OK, this is my other boat, hr ms K-XVIII, or the predecessor to Piets O-19. I finally had an opportunity to test the torpedoes. These are rubber motor driven - have a great speed but not much range! But it looked great! qwerty2008, WackoWolf, GuntherMT and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega1234 Posted September 22, 2015 Share #102 Posted September 22, 2015 Hi Freek Very impressive!!! The slow motion of the torpedo launch is amazing, as are all the other launches, as well. I know that you said the range is short, but, out of interest, how long is it on average? Two metres, three?, etc? I also love the yellow sub that pops up in the beginning. Is that one of your fleet, as well?

Piet Posted September 23, 2015 Share #103 Posted September 23, 2015 Very impressive Freek, love the torpedo launches, very real. Hey, perhaps I mentioned it before but my father served on that boat too for a short period of time. Thanks for sharing these videos. Cheers mtaylor and Omega1234 2 Quote Piet, The Flying Dutchman.

FreekS Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share #104 Posted September 23, 2015 Thanks for the compliments! The torpedoes have an elastic band, made out of flight rubber and oiled somewhat. With that I can apply 300 windings before the elastic band breaks. The prop is only 9 mm diameter and has a cm or so pitch - theoretically I could get 3 meter-ish, but as the Torpedo starts to counter rotate and has slip I'm getting between 1 and 2 meters or so. Amazingly the speed is very high and I calculate that the prop reaches 18000 rpm or so. Piet, your father was serving on some of the most modern subs of his time! But those deck tubes were rarely used! Freek WackoWolf, Omega1234, Piet and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piet Posted September 24, 2015 Share #105 Posted September 24, 2015 Yes indeed Freek, he was lucky in that regard but he also applied himself to really get to know these boats, which the Navy recognized. His goal was to have a boat under his command but alas it was not to be. Cheers, mtaylor 1 Quote Piet, The Flying Dutchman.
