Hi guys. Well, here's a couple of new pics. The dive planes have a socket
for dive lights, so the light shines in the direction of travel. The fairings
still need a little finish work but the cold damp weather means I'll have to
wait on that. The patterns for the stainless ballast tanks are made but I
haven't bought the sheets yet. Material cost for the stainless is about $3500
and that will be the next components to build. The rear motor mounts/rudders are
done and I'll be using hydraulic cylinders to actuate the rudders and dive
planes.
Greg. C. gave me a source for the 3 inch plexi and I will order that next
week and get it machined locally. Haven't found anyone locally yet who does
plexi annealing, but that will work out eventually. Just a little progress each
day. Thanks for all your help. Have a good New Year, Frank D.
