thanks Ujjwal, first I make the master piece with simul wood, then cover up with fiberglass, then seprating the glass hull from the master piece(Pattern). Now the glass hull is treated as die, where further glass hulls are made. It looks simple but a very tedious job.
Now a days I make everything fiberglass so as to preserve my hardwork in the form of die, and to make another piece easily if required.

@ Don Sir,
Not much progress. Got all the required electronics, accessories for it except the water pump.
Planing to complete the WTC this Saturday / Sunday. I was checking the size of WTC (posted the picture of the same). The drive system will have a reduction gear ration (3:1) and a seven blade properller. Yet to make the dive planes & rudders etc.

hi mate.

 will you use 'rubber' seal outside the bearing? or will the bearing be enough to keep water out at that depth?

hi mate.
I was not sure if the pressure in the hull would be enough on it's own to stop water.........sounds like a good move Smiley

Yes, you are right. VC always wanted to build a submarine, Akula. He discussed a lot over phone and mailed me some photographs and sketches related to Akula. He designed a sketch of Akula which was 36” x 3”, and planned to make it with PVC pipe. I was not too convince with PVC pipe and that to 3” dia. I suggested him to go for 4” dia. Then he suggested me to start the build and WTC whatever way it is possible. Then I purchased a 72 MHz radio for the same purpose. Meanwhile he assigned me another work for which I couldn’t start the build for a long time. When I was in Kolkata I saw a RC Hydroplane (Gas powered) and it created a lot of interest in me to make an Atlas hydro. Thereafter when Roopesh started building one I searched in net. for submarine and found this, Akula II, INS Chakra.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akula_class_submarine

Closely matched what VC and I were discussing as well as it is INS Chakra. And then I started making this one.

Previously I was thinking the Akula sub. have a 7 blade propeller, later I found it 6.
First I made the design with 40mm dia, but looked too small, then increased the dia to 45mm.

Don Sir,
I just forgot the joint nuts,,, Head Scratching
and last week I damaged the 7ch receiver for which I am limited to the basic functions with a spare 4 ch. rx.
Yet to balance it perfectly and you can see the gyrational force twisting the hull in opp. direction.
