RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] First Launch



Congrats Jim!!!! Looking at your photo, the trim looks really good, and if you have all three passengers on board they will likely more than compensate for the minuscule aft trim, which I can't even see in the picture. I'm presuming you didn't do your test dive with 2 passengers? Judging from the photo, your weight and volume calculations must have been spot on!

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] First Launch

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,
 
Jim K
