Hi Dean, Your one million candle power light assembly looks interesting. You can use it as a undersea weapon. ;}' The plywood in the tail control surfaces will give you a touch of buoyancy back there. How do you plan to keep the metal straps that are clamped onto your pressure hull from rusting to the hull? I removed the small steel straps that hold on my FRP MBT's and found plenty of rust, and that wasn't even metal to metal. http://cid-5085d10eb6afe47c.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Front%20MBT%20Removel/DSCN7310.JPG Regards, Szybowski From: Recon1st@aol.com Date: Sat, 7 Feb 2009 14:39:36 -0500 Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] new flicks To: personal_submersibles@psubs.org Our two subs are on opposites sides of the coin. Yours is bolted
together etc. with replaceable
parts and mine is one hunk. Any repairs will mean coming back to
shop and hack and whack
then make new. +
I started making the control asm bolt on. Nice easy maint etc and
basically gave up.
Was taking way to much time. I really need to make my spring get it
wet goal.
In my experience making a glass mold is worth the effort if
you are going to make more
than one. All of my glass work is just lay it on and grind it
smooth.
You can see in the one pic of the aft MBT, it has been enlarged
about 10" lower. No magic
just lay on layer after layer of cloth fiber glass lots of grinding
and work. I needed to do this
for the additional battery pod lengths. It got real heavy real fast
in the aft.
Which reminds me, I sure would like to know when the next sub gets
started.
I want to invest in the companies that sell grinding wheels
hehhe
the great frozen North
