Explorer 7 Radio Control Submarine by Unidac

	Sam's Toybox Homepage

This is a way cool Radio Control Submarine called the Explorer 7. The box boasts that the sub is "New Advanced Technology." Manufactured by Unidac Corp. this is item no. 8701 dated 1987. The sub is controlled via radio transmitter up to 100 feet away. When the sub reaches the limits of radio control range, it will automatically begin to circle so you never lose control. Also, once the antenna is submersed the sub will no longer dive so that it doesn't end up on the bottom. About 19 inches long, the sub uses 2 D, 4 AA, and one 9 volt battery and moves via jets of pumped water, no propellers needed.

When I saw this toy, I knew I had to have it. This one is missing the instructions and the sub's antenna. I will try to fabricate an antenna and try the bugger out at one of the local pools, hopefully in the near future.

Radio Controlled Submarines not quite as cool as the Explorer 7 are still manufactured and available through Amazon.com
