Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] new hull
design 36 vs 42 dia
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
