Hi Thomas, Yes, I am sure that you would be able to hear the sub when it is on top of the water. I still have my doubts about being able to hear it when it is under water. BFN Jim The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up. j...@kitchensinc.net

Hi Jim, Good question. I'd imagine the RC submarine would make some kind of wine or hum as it moves. The RC boats that I've driven make a loud wine as they spead over the water, and sometimes if the weather is right you can hear the slosh of the water as it moves. I'd imagine the RC submarine

Hi Charles, Well, keep in mind I still had sight when I was into model rockets, but the kits usually weren't that difficult to build. Of course, how difficult the kit was to build depended on the kit. They ranged from beginner models for kids to very advanced models for adults. The models I built

Hi Charles, No, they don't fire torpedoes, but that doesn't rule out creating mock submarine battles and things like that. You have to use your imagination here to a certain point, but you can certainly maneuver these rc submarines around like a real submarine, pull up to the stern of a radio

Hi Thomas, Besides the electronic ignition, you can still buy feet of fuse to cut to length, stuff into the rocket engine and light. Either way though is fun. But I have not done any model rocketry since losing my sight. BFN Jim I remember when Saturns were rockets, not cars.
