 Hi David, 
  
I'll be happy to help, however the seals that I am using 
and familiar with are not suitable for high speed shafts. 
I will help if I can. 
  
Best Regards, 
  
Jim K

  Jim,      I plan a single 1" drive 
  shaft...I might need some advice on seals 
  later...

    Hi Again Frank, 
      
    As you know, I'm a rotating shaft thru hull kind of guy but may still 
    have an idea for you that will not use electrical power or be slow. If you 
    used two similarly sized dual acting hydraulic cylinders, one as an actuator 
    and one inside as a master cylinder you could have direct immediate response 
    and no power drain. 
      
    Hope it helps! 
      
    Best Regards,

      Hi Jim. Thanks for the compliments. I'm getting ready to do the power 
      thing for the dive planes, and want to check out using electric before I 
      commit to air or hydraulic. I have a grainger's book, and there are lots 
      of motors that would work, but ya, I'd have to build enclosures. I'll 
      probably stay with hydraulics, but want to research this possibility 
      first. Moving the dive planes with an electric toggle switch would 
      make it more responsive to descend/ascend via the planes, but suck up a 
      lot of electrical power. 
       If I use a small hydraulic pump, the inside controls would be 
      basically the same as electric, but I was really planning on using a hand 
      pump, where quick changes in dive plane position wouldn't be 
      possible, but uses no battery power. Still looking for the right 
      compromise of power usage and performance. I have limited space for 
      batteries, and am trying to maximize the 10 battery "bank" so I don't 
      waste it on unnecessary tasks. Anybody out there got a small nuke plant 
      they're not using ? Frank D.
