Top shape you guys!

 

Thanks for the replies.  They are a large help.  I have been talking about designing with my friend at the University and I think I am starting to understand how to go about it.  I will search for some of the resources you recommended and let you know when I come up with something that works. 

 

My friend has Busbys Manned Submersibles and I am going to borrow it.  Thanks Ray.

 

Rick, I think that would be a good idea if you upload some of those diagrams when you have time.  I know I could use them to give me an idea of what I need to figure out.

 

I remember hearing something about the Moki picture exchange was not working.  Is it fixed yet?  Can I put some drawings up there when I get ready?

 

Mahalo to all.
