Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] X Thruster Arrangement
Frank,
It's cool looking, but I'd figure the topweight surfaced is going to be pretty fierce, half the hull weight, plus hatch and hardware, it looks like. How about a short trunk and dome hatch, then invert the tanks on the centerline. That way you could stick a couple of big ports below center and forward for two folkses to peer through, and with an overlapping field of vision, have good overall visibility to the front. I like the double ellipse, though. Always have. Cousteau got me into this mess, so I guess that's no big surprise.

Hi Joe. I have a picture on frappr of the current project. It shows the motors and ballast tanks and should make clear the arrangements.
As I said, I'm more of a pencil and paper kind of guy, and this was my attempt to share the project with you guys. Sure doesn't look like the nice drawings you all make, but the basic shape is there.
Try this link, maybe it will get you there.
