This is a 1/72 scale Skipjack-Class submarine, USS SCULPIN (SSN-590). It is a Moebius Models plastic kit, converted for remote control operations. The electronics are contained in a dry Watertight compartment, called a Sub-Driver, purchased from the Nautilus Drydocks

This Pool Patrol was conducted on 31 May 2021. There were three objectives for this underway:
1) Re-align and retest the new micro servos I installed in the Sub-Driver after USS KEY WEST's most recent pond trials resulted in damaging the rudder servo.
2) Keep the local neighbor hood pond free of snoopy spy turtles and gators.
3) See how the recent additions of the forward and aft draft marks appears in the water, as well as how effective the clear matte spray paint is at protecting the decals and paint underneath.

Objectives were 2 and 3 were met: Snoopy spy turtles stayed clear of SCULPIN and basked in the sun. No gators were founds. The clear matte spray paint held up very well, no damage to any of the draft mark dry transfer decals!

However, Objective 1 was partially met. While the new servos themselves are better, the servo arm I used was from the old servos and were slightly too big for these new servos. This resulted in the servo arms slipping and coming loose, causing the "Jam Rudder" casualty that is discussed at the end of the video. I will need to replace those servo arms that are the proper size and ensure the screws are tight.
