Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Open source submarine

["Pierre Poulin" <pipo305@hotmail.com>]

Hi there!

I offer my help to the projet. I'm an autocad wiz. I have a speciality in 
3D, my job is to design anything mechanic. I'm good with the pneumatic and 
hydraulics things.

If I can help, let me know!

Pierre
