I tend to agree with you on that Ian. Better to pump up the motors than
devise a whole separate system for slowing the sub. A full reverse using maximum
thrust from all your motors would be easier to incorporate, cut down on reaction
time, and have the added benefit of being available for a quick burst of thrust
in forward as well. My motors (4) have 101 pounds thrust each. In reverse,
that's probably a lot less, but still, almost like throwing out an anchor! No
separate complicated system, just slam the controls back and hope you have
enough room to stop. There again, it doesn't make sense to travel faster than
what your sub can handle in a stop mode. Frank D. It's only a deal if it's where you want to go. Find your travel deal here. |
