Hi everybody,

(I originally posted this to rec.models.rc.boats, but after a week that
appears to be a very lonely place...)

For a few months now, I've been pondering building my own RC submarine.
Ideas enough, but unfortunately I haven't gotten round to actually starting
my project, so it was kind of on hold.

A few days ago, however, I read an article in the local newspaper about two
students who created their own (I put up a translation of the Dutch article
on my website), which got me started again.

I'm quite handy, but I know little of RC stuff like transmitters, receivers
and the like. What would be the best way to start?

If anybody has some links or pointers, I'd appreciate learning about them.
Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Marlon

Recently, Marine Models International put out a special issue on
Submarines, you may want to try and get a copy of it.
<http://www.traplet.com> is their website.

If you can read Dutch. We/they don't mind posts in English:
