Hi everyone.
I have managed to get myself a great sub (I'm a first timer with subs). It's a sheerline Trafalgar mk2. Lovely model, well built, serviced by the man himself and everything does what it's supposed to do.
Ok, so my question then... Are radio controlled submarines good when turning? Now I've only had the boat in a pool in the garden so no room to really stretch her legs, but there seems to be a poor response even when the rudders are hard over. As far as the sub goes, it's set up perfectly (or as near as possible anyway), hence the question.
Other than that, I am absolutely over the moon with the model. Couldn't be happier actually!
I'm aware that the issue could well be the pilot and not the boat! Captain Chaos over here usually misses the obvious!
