Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] UC-3 news

[Carsten Standfuss <Merlinsub@t-online.de>]

Chuck forgot this.. A factory which can make windmill tubes of different
sizes can also make a submarine hull to your exact subs specifications. 
Means no need to compromize that. And will be to difficult to get the
ribs in if you use a windmill pipe with flanges on both ends.. 
The only thing a windmill tube is usefull for is a windmill. And the
only thing a propane tank is good for is a propane tank.. And the only
thing a autoclave is good for is... ;-)

The best and cheapest way is to order the endcaps, the cylinders,
bulkheads and the ribs etc. seperatly and according to your drawings and
assamble it yourself. And build a roller table. If you can not weld -
make just the small tack welds to hold all parts in place and call a
prof.welder..  

And Peter has 3D-Cad drawings of UC3 - he just change his mind about the
design.. A Double Hull WWII concept needs more building time and
attention than a single tube modern hull.  And a school-drawing-board is
a very clever idear for every psub building garage.. :-)
