A maneuverable and fast vehicle desighed for underwater travel. Glider has top speed of ~28 m\s and accelerates to max speed in just ~1.5 seconds. Has a very long-lasting battery.


Notes:

  • Glider is not very buoyant by itself and keeps itself at stable depth only when going at at least 10 m\s.
  • If controls are shaking, decrease Derivative setting on autopilot to 8
  • Due to low buoyancy, glider has landing gear to land at ocean bottom, land it like you would land a plane
  • Controlling glider can be a bit difficult at the beginning due to high maneuverability, you'll get used to it with enough practice.
  • Although glider can still swim when its partially out of water, it is not adviced due to worse stability in this case. You can, however, jump out of water for a short period of time without much consequences.
  • This equipment is ~expensive~. Please do not mishandle it.

Thats like my first time making something that swims, especially underwater, dont judge too hard.

Have fun!
