I will be there.

Want to try out my submarine.  Have been busy resurrecting it (new battery, radio and ESC).  The funny part will be showing up with a 72 meg radio.  It is well known in sub circles the only way to go is 72 meg.  It will allow control for much deeper dives.  This model has been down 6' in our pool without a problem and without behaving like a scale model of the Kursk.  Yes it came back up when asked to.

It is about 28" in length, a speed 400 brushed motor and is a dynamic diver (moving front vanes drive and hold it down).  While at rest the deck floats about 1/2" above the water.  It was published in the British RC model boat magazine about 15 years ago.  It is made out of wood (door skin) and glassed.

Other changes- spray paint the top a bright colour.  The current sub is flat black and will not be visible under water.  It will not go far or deep in TooGood Pond.
