Real nice! You mean those sailers take a dunking everytime you use the sub  ;)
Deans Marine do 1/96 crew figures as well.

Hello all, I have recently purchased an Akula by Sheerline and she is ready to go.
Could anyone advise me pls :'(
I bought it ready to run from a RC builder, when I apply power to the boat all the servo's and motors work at the same time?
Do I have to fine tune the Sanwa 6 channel tx to stop this, or is there something else I am missing.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like interferance, try getting the aerial away from any dirty wiring, possibly running it out of the WTC.

RC crew are specially trained to breath hold dive for up to an hour. Mine are OK for even longer as they're very disciplined. 8)
