- The big Type VII has finally had her maiden voyage! This took place behind my home in Naples, FL about a week ago. I'm happy to report that the test was a shining success!
The uboat has a tendency to drop in the rear when undertaking a turn, and I assume that is a result of the design of the boat. A bit of corrective action on the planes brings her back to trim without issue.
Look for the next (final?) video in the buildup coming soon where I document the functional electric torpedoes!
ALLLLAARRRMMMM!!!!!
Mehr „AAA“ beim zweiten A…
This guy is 'too awesome!' At 2:26, he even plays "Erinnerung" as the submarine is leaving the 'submarine pens' - like in "Das Boot!" That's so cool! :D
wunderbarrrrrr !!
wow I didnt realize submarines were so big i guess they just look that way compared to other battle ships but over 200 feet long wow!! I guess they USS Kitty Hawk was over 1000 feet long. Could you imagine a boat nearly a quarter of a mile long.
really cool and very nicely build thanks fir the vid keep up the good work. i will sub to you.
wow!!!
👍👍👍👍👀
Na Männer...alles klar?
Jawohl Herr KaLeun!!!
2:25 that was perfect and unexpected.
It would be cool to have one of these things show up when the kids and old people are feeding the swans.
I used to sail a Robbie dynamic submarine . There was a little girl paddling , and I surfaced to boat right by the side of her . She was not a happy bunny !
The Das Boot soundtrack makes it
Lots of confused fish live in that pond.☺️
And ducks :D
@Flappy Paddle - I hope so. Better than a pissed-off alligator. :(
Flappy Paddle maybe they will come out the closet one day.
An excellent build-up and video presentation of the OTW Designs R/C German Type 7 U-boat submarine.
I'm sure its owner will enjoy running the model, and be proud to display the boat in all its grandeur. Well done, Bob.
Whenever I see a VII class U-Boat, I always think if the line, "I am U-571, destroy me!" I like that movie.
Brennan Rasmusson this movie is one of the best uboat films i think with uss seaviper and das boot (the boat) U 96
this movie is a bias because it wasnt americans or english who acualy found enigmas code and used it, it was poles who cracked enigma code
TheDorszu1994 no your wrong it was the british is was in bletchley park in the u.k.
it was the british capture of u-110, by hms bulldog.
TheDorszu1994 it was us British so get over it
Your sub is totally amazing! I've never seen anR/C submarne before and all your videos have been VERY interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! looks so real in motion, the speed looks about right, the wake is just like the real thing, top job.
good choice of music and nice video....i ave noticed that many submarines have lines extending from the conning tower to the bow and stern...are these for flags and ensigna or do they serve some other function? thanks!
This is from Dave Merriman, sub expert and all around nice guy:
"Early boats combined the function of jumper and antenna into the forward cable that ran from bow to atop the fairwater. Some of the V-class boats had purpose designed retractable masts to hoist communications antenna cables.
The wires that ran from the sides of the GATO-BALAO-TENCH fairwaters back to a 'T' looking support near the stern? Yes, communications antennas. Note the insulators at each end."
John Becay I think it would be radio cable
"Ummm Dad? There's a German sub in our pond." "What!?"

Very nice
"Dive, Dive, Dive!" 👇
It sure is a long way to Tipperary!
the filming was spectacular with the drone and on-deck camera!
When emerging at 3:20 the KaLeu must have gone: "I think we might have taken a wrong turn near Gibraltar...we're in someone's backyard..."
Great build, great footage and great music :-)
ALARM!!!!!!!!!! ALL MEN FORWARD QUICKLY MOVE IT DAM IT! Sorry I got carried away there.
"Torpedo: LOS!"
I WAS WAITING FOR DAS BOOT SOUNDTRACK! NICE!
b dawg same
b dawg neic
man I have to get int subs awesome video
Awesome!!!!
That is really an amazing build thanks for sharing it. The whole process is very informative.
I'm currently beta testing a VR headset game called UBOAT: The Silent Wolf for the Meta Oculus which is based on the Type VII sub, so this video piqued my interest. I found this quite interesting, and I'm going to share it with the other beta testers too. I must say I got quite a laugh out of your take on the sub leaving the pens. I fly drones, but I must say I've never really looked into RC subs. I was hoping it would submerge when the video began, and I was quite happy to see it return to the surface.
DAS BOOT
Reminds me of a funny story about Das Boot…..they were attempting to film a model (larger than this one but not full size), and birds kept landing on it, making them appear as giants, ruining the shots. 😂
nice job...german flag upside down...iron cross goes on top..just saying for historical looks
.....and now I’m off to watch Das Boot, the original of course...not the new remake....
Looks like a Palm Desert invasion. Fun surprise seeing the underwater footage. Link me if you have a film on your Nautilus.
Incredible work, a great watch :)
I have that same U-boat in War thunder! It's so good! I think you should add torpedoes to it too :D
Great job on the sub. I was disappointed in the video resolution.
Mega wie königlich es am schluss durch das wasser fährt
Really cool type VII sub you made there and cool video. Would you sell it or one like that?
you should fit multiple VR cameras and wear a headset
Excellent. The only thing that is needed would be anti gator weapons!
Horrible resoulution of the video. The parts before were much better.
Does somebody know where can I buy one of this models???
Now that gentlemen, is what a submarine should look like !
Bonjour. Le U-128 était un U-boot type IX C, pas un type VII
I love the shot coming out of the drain pipe "sub pen" Can you take some video of how the sound system sounds on the lake without the background music?
Sorry.. sub is with her owner now. What you see is what you get!
where are the convoys ? want some action!
Hunting off the coast of Florida,cool...
What does something like this cost?
🥇🏆🎖️. MASTERPIECE.
briliant model !!!!!
So cool. I'm into planes, helps , and trucks but I must say this is very very cool. Honey deap before you loose control?
Outstanding details. What is the hull made of?
Helicopters
Looks like its coming out of the sub pens
I pressed subscribe the moment the "Das Boot" theme song started. Really good work man. Can you tell me where you got the blueprints from?
This buildup was actually done with a kit that is available from OTW out of the UK. You can also purchase it from my website by going to www.nautilusdrydocks.com.
Wow, awesome work. Why U-128 though, the original sub was a Type IX?
That was the customer's request. U128 had some significance to him and he wanted that boat's numbers, despite that class disconnect.
great video
Where did you get that sub?
That was very cool.
Impressive!
how deep can it dive? I don't know anything about RC submarine
The cylinder is good for at least 20ft. You typically operate them between the surface and 3ft, however.
best video on youtube.
WOW - now that's one stunning model of this famous submarine; never seen such a great VII C RC model before! Just re-read "Das Boot" (highly recommendable book if one's interested in WW II subs - not to mention the famous film) and came accross your videos doing research for my own (desk) models! Absolutely amazing and to round it off great filming here too with different perspectives and the soundtrack! Will stay tuned and see what else your're up to... Until then: "Exzellente Arbeit, Herr Kaleun" ;-)
Absoloutly amazing!!!!!!! Loving the Das Boot soundtrack !!!!!!!
Would you sale it?
Very cool man!!!!😎
The first tipe 7 / c that I remember is the one from the book then movie " enemy above / enemy below " with Robert Mitchum and Kurt Jurgen , also premiered Allen - AL Hedison later to be renamed " David Hedison " aka Capt . Crane of the USOS SeaView .
Search for David Hedison's last interview .
There he explained his change of his first name .
Absolutely incredible model. The whole build and commissioning was fascinating - the maiden voyage inspirational.
I see the palm trees and a fresh water pond, means one thing to me ALLIGATORS! It must look like a gar to them. Beautiful working model.
Very nice work Grüsse aus der Schweiz
So unbelievably cool, honestly just wonderful what you have achieved with this model. Congrats mate, well done.
Great build, love the submerged view going down. Quality of video poor, out of focus and overexposed at the end. Couldn’t see detail and wish there was narration with less music.
NICE! I love it!
Oh my gosh, coming out of the culvert to the theme music from Das Bot was amazing!!! Oh, and the boat itself is pretty darned amazing as well. Well done
😍🤩😍🤩😍 stunning
One word. .....WOW
Awesome! I like the scale you chose - not too big but small enough for details. Video work was entertaining and showed a lot of effort went into it. Thanks for posting.
Nicely done.
this is simply just amazing. :)))) i didnt know that this was even possible :)
Love the music...Das Boot!!!! Beautiful job!
Enough Silent Hunter 3... I want this RC U-boat!
great project
Congratulations mate! amazing job!
wow great job
fantastic build , super detail!!!!!
Nice build.
that shot of it coming out of the tunnel with the music from Des boot is fantastic !!!!!!!!!!
beyond cool.
Thanks for music!) The great think! Very!
awesome job
Very cool.
Grate job
can it dive all nuclear submarines dive
even U-boats
It might be s suuuuper awesome idea to watch an entire video through before posting up questions like that. Static dive test at 2:00. Surfaced and submerged running in last half of the video. Oh, and uboats of this era were diesel-electric, not nuclear...
Too cool
Outstanding video quality. Well done.
Very nice work, attention to detail is excellent. 👍👍👍
In the low angle shots the model really captures the lean lethal look of a VII C boat.
ALARM!
