Re: batteries in pressurized compartment...?

During the building of my Sub I spent many hours just sitting in the thing in 
my garage, also with the control stick in my hand. I thought it better and 
cheaper than a shrink and a damn sight more fun.

 Sometimes the dreaming is almost as much fun as the real thing. It also kept 
me going when things were discouraging.

 Actually that sounds like a lot of fun! I can just see me doing the exact
 same thing.
