little more info on it's instability problems.
It looks pretty short inside too. I bet you have to lay down to look out
the windows, unless your head is up in the tower. I think just moving the
ballast tanks up would make a difference in how stable it was. It would be
interesting to know more about it like ......how thick, what motors, how many
batteries, what kind of controls, how many and how thick the windows, what
design depth, and a few hundred other questions I might have. Maybe I better
give him a call.
The ad says "about 5000 pounds" so I'm guessing it's 1/2 inch steel. It's a
shame to see a sub get that far along and not work out. I wonder who the
"engineers" were and if they still have a job. ( OOPS! that wasn't very nice !
)
Anyway, still looks to me like it has potential. Frank
