[mailto:owner-personal_submersibles@psubs.org] On Behalf Of vbra676539@aol.com I think they were probably on
the order of 10 X 16 inches or so, and about 1 1/4" thick (maybe a little
more) at the pivot point. The rudder would have been about the same, and hung
on the 30% pivot point. Vance Vance, OK, I over simplify. Planes will work but how big do they
have to be to be effective? In addition to having a deep chord, was the
size of these planes larger in proportion to the size of the sub then the
proportion found on a K-250? R/Jay Respectfully, Jay K. Jeffries Andros Is., Bahamas Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish. - Euripides (484 BC - 406 BC) From: owner-personal_submersibles@psubs.org

On Behalf Of vbra676539@aol.com Don't you believe it, rum boy. Perry planes worked nicely at
under ONE knot!!! You have to bully them some, but they absolutely do work.
Mind you, they are deep chord winglets with side plates. I think the dive
planes had four or five separate pieces to weld up, plus the shaft and hyd
piston lever arrangement, plus a chunk of magnesium bedded to bare aluminum for
electrolysis protection. And the rudder is three feet high, boys and girls. Planes are ineffective at speeds somewhere just under 3 kts.
That is why many K-250s are reconfigured with a trainable stern
motor in place of the rudder. R/Jay Respectfully, Jay K. Jeffries Andros Is., Bahamas Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish. 0A - Euripides (484 BC - 406 BC) From: owner-personal_submersibles@psubs.org

On Behalf Of David Bartsch As
awesome as the newer nuke boats are, the bow plane and stern plane arrangments
of the earlier diesel boats seem the best at keeping both trim angle and depth
control. Fast depth changes should be much easier with both the bow
and stern working together. This would be handy say at periscope depth or when
in close proximity to the ocean floor. With more control over the boats angle,
fast and smooth depth changes seem as if these would be a breeze. Get
