Hi Dean. I think you're chasing the right idea with front and back
dive planes. I had considered that but let it go because of the extra work. It
just seems to me that back dive planes would be a real plus if you have enough
power to make them work. Did you see the "dry dive" videos? With the center
mounted dive planes the sub stays level when ascending/diving but it would be
nice to be able to angle the sub just with the dive planes. Like you say, much
like flying. I don't know how much speed you'd have to get to make the dive
planes overcome the front/back balance, but if it's close enough to neutral, it
may not take that much power.
Twin trim tanks front and back with a transfer pump would help if the pump
was able to shift weight fast enough. Maybe a sliding drop weight would be less
trouble to make. I will be able to shift the seat forward and backward a
little and I'm hoping that will give me a little angle change. Damn, I wanna get
this thing wet soon! Frank D. It's only a deal if it's where you want to go. Find your travel deal here. |
