hi guys
I just decided to throw out the
current design based around a 36 dia hull / with external battery pods.and go
for a 42 dia hull placing the batteries in the bilge solves a lot of problems
and give me a cargo capacity of 2500 lb.. using spiral top batteries. I
lose about 6 inches of floor space and don't have a worry about flooding
the pods. even carrying a thousand pound of batteries 200 lb. of support
equipment and four hundred lb. of crew, we will still need 900 lb. of
ballast. that will be divided in to a 100 LB moveable and 800 lb.
of dropable lead shot in hollow landing gear with drop
valves
if anybody sees a problem give a
shout
