Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] First Launch



Hi Benjamin,
 
I think it will not be much of an issue. I will go deeper in a couple of days and find out.
 
Best Regards,

Very, very nice.  Did you figure out if the conning tower leak is going to be an issue or if its just a momentary thing during submerging?  How does the view out front look?

       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,
