Yes.. looking again.. I see the thruster on the drawing, and not at all on
the model...there looks like some kind of hull under the thruster in the
drawing.. it looks good.  keep the pictures comming.  I am very interested
in your work.. you have a good place to work on it, but I know that working
at a regular job, then going to the same place for your hobby is very
tiring..

No more dives yet, but the ice is just off of the lakes around here.. The
plans that I had for my deep test look like they have fallen through. I was
relying on someone else to arrange it, and he has gotten busy at his job,
and it doesn't look like it is going to happen now.. I am now trying to
figure out a different way to test it, so I can at least use it down to
about 100 feet.. and worry about the deep test when I get another chance..
we will see what happens...
