Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Air Tanks

Frank that looks real good. Oughta be able to turn.

I am not going to have that much on my vector, but I am going with horizontal and vertical.

Yup love the idea of flying hehhe.Havn't started building yet but initial plans I got about

40 degrees in all directions, and it will be hydraulic. Both the rudder and front and rear dive

planes will also be tied in. I want to look at redesign it as the first concept got pretty complicated

I really need to keep the KISS rule in mind.

By the way just got back from a weekend on my support boat. Put about 100 miles on the

old girl and spent the night on Lake Superior. Everything worked perfect and found all kinds

of places I will have to return to. Also got to look at the handling characteristics in about 6' rollers.

I think I can tow the sub by a docking platform kinda U shaped thingy lots of design work and

head scratching to do.

Hi Dean. On vectoring your back prop. I'll be doing the same. I made the prop rings with vanes to help direct the water, and the whole motor/ring rudder assembly rotates. Here's an old pic with the motor mounts turned to one side. I can actually get almost a 90 degree turn on these. I'll try to get a newer pic showing how they look with the fairing installed. I am pushing ahead with using electric actuators for rudder and dive plane control so no linkage yet until the parts arrive. Frank D.
