RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Rudders



Hi Alan,

 

My use a very similair design with one motor on each side and I don,t have a rudder. With one full foward and one full backward, I can almost turn on the spot. Same as a bulldozer.

 

So no, I would not waste time on rudders.

Hi all,

I have been looking at some videos of a small 1 person semi-dry ambient sub in action.

This sub doesn't have a rudder & just uses differing motor speeds to turn.

As I'm building a small 1 person sub of a similar size with two PWM controlled motors I'm wondering

wether a rudder is going to be a waste of time for me. I did have a rudder in my original design.

Any thoughts on this thanks.

Alan
