Hi Ronald!!!

Apart from the excess of speed and the crashes in the bottom it looks great!!!
I think you should practice your driving a little bit more
Now for real, excellent convertion, and it is a good subject to convert to RC, since it's a bulky hull

Congrats mate

I admit it behaves more like a scared goldfish than a several tonnes heavy submarine,
but this is version 2. version 3 will be better. And the public (about 8 years old) did
appreciate the speed more than accuracy

Watch out for that sea monster in the guise of a leaf! It'll eat you up for sure!
