Delta sub

[CA'ed fingers]

Hi,

Not a lot of action on the sub side of this forum...
Is anyone familiar with the Delta rc sub from Modell Uboot Spezialitaten? http://modelluboot.de/

I'm looking for an easy, not too expensive static sub that I can use has a camera platform to explore the fishies by my dock... I like the Delta a lot, but there is limited info in english and I don't really know what to expect...

That looks like a lot of fun.

I think the reason you don't find many submarine posts here is that the submariners have a really nice website, and BB at this location:


http://www.subcommittee.com/

Someone there should know something.:cool:

Hello Eric

I agree with you not a lot of action.....its our duty to give more action to this forum ;)

Anyway, I would be glad to tell you more about this wonderful little submarine.
I am more a war submarine fan, but this Delta is certainly my favourite model . It a very stable platform (for a video camera for example...)

here a pic of mine :

Hi Antoine,

Very nice sub! I left many emails with Model Uboot but never had any replies... Is that where you got yours? What package did you get? How much did the whole project cost you? Did you have any problems with it? I have doing some RC sailing and flying and would love to try subs. I like this model because it looks good to scout around slowly with a video camera near the shores of my lake. It also looks good...

Thanks for giving me some info:)

Salut Eric

Comme toi j'ai eu beaucoup de difficultes a contacter Norbert Bruggen. J'ai meme abandonne l'idee de passer par lui, c'est pourquoi j'ai trouve un Delta non fini d'occasion.
Je connais maintenant quelques allemands qui peuvent contacter facilement Norbert.
Il faudra compter dans les 1000 euro au total en comptant tout pour le finir et l'utiliser, en sachant que le kit complet (meme la colle si speciale est fournie) coute 623 €.
Je ne sais pas combien de CDN cela fait mais tu pourras convertir.

Une camera est facilement installable a bord, beaucoup l'on fait.

Hello Eric

Like you I had a lot of difficulties to contact Bruggen. I did even give up the idea of dealing with him, it is the reason why I found a second hand unfinished Delta.
I know now few germans who can contact Norbert easily.
You must count about 1000 € for a ready to run model. The complete kit costs 623 € (it even includes this so particular bond, Loctite 406 and the ligths set).
I dont know the exchange rate of the $CDN but you will be able to convert yourself.

A video cam can be installed in easily.



Cheers

Antoine.

PS ; I can take more pics of mine if you want to see more.

Salut Antoine,

Merci pour ton aide!
Sur le site de Norbert, le kit complet est listé a 423 euros + 36 vis + 31 éclairage = 490 euros. Y a t'il une nouvelle liste de prix?

Where did you find your used Delta? Is there somewhere I should look?

Merci,
eric

Go to the german pages....you will find a new price with a new combo including the glue, the LEDs (11), the screws, the speed controler, the magnetic switch., the gell sealed battery 12V 2.2 Ah for 623 €
Very interesting price.....if you manage to reach Norbert :)

I found my model by chance. On the net, ebay, someone was selling his and he broke his model before the end of auction so I asked him if it was possible to buy the wreck, he told me no but his cousin would sell his. Lucky I was. Unfinished but the hardest parts were done :) (.......I like detailling !!!)

[CA'ed fingers]

Well, your very lucky! If you see one for sale please let me know... I will continue trying to reach Norbert...

Matt Munger has Norbert's Delta that he has been working on for a few years. Looks pretty neat. http://www.rc-submarines.com/db74c880.jpg

He also has a couple of Delphins.

I finally ended up buying the Delphin, which I received but have yet to build...

And also bought Antoine's Delta which got a bit of damage in transport. As of yesterday, everything was repaired except for one leak. Hopefully I will be able to move it from my bathtub to my lake in the coming week...
