Looks like he drives it from inside.

It would be funny to drive that around far enough off shore that people cant tell if its real and far away or mini and closer than they think.

That is freakin' AWESOME!! I was also wondering if it is RC or not. I did see the pic of the guy inside the ship, but it looks like it would be kinda hard to see where you were going from that position. It would rock if you could control it by radio! Beautiful work for sure!

For a guy built this sweet machine making it rc wouldnt be hard i bet. But I have to say sitting in it running around the pond or lake would be sweet
