Here is my recent conversation with a gentleman who is making an RC Seaview with a Big Dave Pumpjet unit.
Hi Dean,
With all the alternatives and hulls available, a guy could spend his life just building Seaview models!
Regards,
Robert
I'm working on it....four large ones and two small ones, and counting.
One small one sits on top of a Walley World sub and is perfect in the water. My first attempt at a RC Seaview. The poor mans Seaview.
I got two Sub Driver units, the two in the middle.

The painted one is complete with all the fixings and built mainly by Stringfly. I still need the electronic switch for the Snort Pump and the ADF for this unit. I have a SL - 8 rx and a Futuba PCM 1024 FP-T7UHP Super Helicopter Radio tx for this one with a 75 MHz Spectra Moduel refit for subs.
The second one is 95% done and will fit together via the center hull seam, vs the super structure concept of the painted unit. It will not have functional bow planes, but I think I will put external dive planes on the nicelles on that one. I saw it here on this build, and consider it a good idea.

I have a SL-8 rx and the WFly six channel tx for my second Sub Driver unit.
The one on the outer left is destined for a Big Dave unit, and I think will be a copy of Steve's Neill's except I think I may include sail planes. Also, based on testing of my second Sub Driver unit with external dive planes on the nicelles, if sucessful as useful control surfaces for pitch stabilization, will also go on this unit. I have the WFly rx for this unit with the WFly tx.

The one on the outer right, I am not sure yet what I will do with it....but I am tossing around the idea of making a cutaway static version...thats why I have the rear hull off.
