David, I'll probably make it after I get my hull
made.
It seems to suite my need. It won't cause much drag, &
It will only be needed for making sure
I don't rise in the path of a boat
or for gaining orientation. I like Jons web cam idea.
Looking at my web cam, I could suspend it inside a tennis
ball & pour crystal clear casting
resin round it; should be pressure resistant
enough.
While thinking on it further it might be better to
put a solid rod inside a pipe instead of a
pipe in a pipe. you could then add an O ring if
necessary.
