hello

raf and I am living in Belgium
My language is Dutch so forgive my mistakes I will write in English
I'm building for over 35 years model submarines and am in possession of a piece or 14
my interest is to build boats and sail submarines
So if I have a club with some friends
from Belgium, Netherlands, France and Germany.

B. MSA was founded in 2009
and we already count a number of 55 members
and sail on a beautiful location in Mol
 7 days a year
calendar is on line at the website and forum
participation in an event is free off charge
The idea is to promote model submarines in Belgium
there are many good boat builders in the Netherlands and Belgium
they actually have no good water to their favorite hobby to exercise

Hi Martin

I hope through this forum the possibility of even getting to travel to england
be able to participate in a meeting with my models
as stated in another post I own unconventional models
This month we have a two day meeting 19 to 20 June
I will try to post many pictures as possible so you get an impression of how it is at the club

Greetings raf

and rudder (hydro drive Robbe key west or systems speed boat)
Speed 500 motor with 3 / 1 gearbox

two norbert bruggen  stabilizers (ltr 2)under a 45 ° angle

even the divers found the animals a great attraction underwater
