[PSUBS-MAILIST] Dive Plane Mechanical Linkages

["Joseph Perkel" <joeperkel@hotmail.com>]

 

 

Since my boat as designed is primarily a snorkel boat on the tiny diesel, dynamic flow over dive planes is critical to control.

 

I have in mind a mechanical linkage system similar to aircraft control surfaces with either a bell crank and pulley system or better yet a pushrod and torque tube system.

 

Individual control of the bow and stern planes as in the WWII boats is not really practical, so I am planning on an interconnection via either a single lever or a side mounted wheel. Very simple stuff, no hydraulics or electric motors.

 

I welcome comments and suggestions as every time I put something out, my design is improved tremendously as a result of the input.

 

Thanks

 

Joe
