Jim, What a beautiful submarine! Congratulations! David Bartsch Date: Thu, 6 May 2010 11:17:20 -0500 Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] First Launch From: kocpnt@tds.net To: personal_submersibles@psubs.org Hi All,
First Launch 5-4-2010 at about 4:30 PM - Lake Michigan.
Went well. A bit tail heavy I think. No leaks except a small one at the conning tower o-ring just as submerging. Controls worked well as did the thrusters. I will do some ballast changing prior to the next outing. All in all a great launch, much anticipated after about 5 years.
Best Regards,
