GRAUPNER/SJ GmbH D-73230 KIRCHHEIM/TECK GERMANY No liability for printing errors. Technical changes reserved! 03/2012 1 Operating instructions for the model U-16 Emden, Order No. 92303 Description of the original The German Navy's U-16 submarine served as the design for this model. The model's length was shortened and a stern thruster was installed to optimize the model's maneuverability. Model description The submarine's real static dive function is accomplished with a hoist motor that controls a ballast tank. The boat begins to submerge due to its increased weight. Surfacing takes place by the opposite effect. This makes it possible for the model to be suspended in water. Curved travel is accomplished by way of a small traverse thruster at the model's stern. This makes it possible for the model to turn in-place. The drive battery can be quickly and easily recharged because the switch socket is also the charger socket. The submarine's small size makes it possible to operate it without difficulty in a bathtub or a rather large aquarium tank. Technical data Length, about 132 mm Breath, about 33 mm Height, about 50 mm Total weight with RC, about 85 g Maximum diving depth, about 0.5 m Important safety notices This is a model that – together with appropriate accessories – can become a functional RC model.
