Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Open source submarine
Hi Folks
The Open Source Sub concept should be embraced by the group, it would
make the learning curve for all of us a little less bumpy, not many of
us have all the skills to put a psub together, but we all have some
extremely good ideas and we all want each other to succeed.
A steering group should be appointed and lets get some idea where we all
want to go with this concept. Some of us might not want build the very
same sub as everyone else but just think how good it would be to have
access to electrical and engineering plans and data that had been tried
and tested in a psub environment.
Regards, Garry
