Bob the Builder...

I am totally captured by my new field of interest, I will try to build something like this myself:



here's an introduction to the subject:

building something like this should cost around € 450 to 1000... relatively expensive, but I'll try anyway

you might even install a camera on board of the small flying object... or a guinea pig...
up to 250 g are no problem

A trace of curiosity...

and now on submarines... A submarine (in short for submarine boat) is a watercraft capable of independent operation below the surface of the water. The term submarine most commonly refers to large crewed autonomous vessels; however, historically or more casually, submarine can also refer to medium sized or smaller vessels. Submarines in a neutral buoyancy condition are not intrinsically trim-stable. To maintain desired trim, submarines use forward and aft trim tanks. Eh? This is about technology:

... so one can even lease submarines

... could be nice to be in a sub:
