Sounds like you plan to play with the dolphins, David.

Very nice.

Hi Tim, im trying buikd multiple redundancy in my systems. With six thrusters to control i want to the ability to adjust each as necessary manually. The backup is the flight stick in combo with the plc for presets for different maneuvers that could be preprogrammed  or programmed on the fly. In that scenario, the flight stick has full control of speed, and vectoring of the rear thrusters in combination with the canards. The other hand is now free to hang on as I do a barrel roll.

Sounds really interesting, David.

When you were up here a few years ago you probably noticed that the DW2000's have foot controls to control the submersible while allowing the pilot to use his hands to operate external equipment.  Everyone has their own take on things, it seems.

Hi Tim, the front pilot position will have a limited console, mainly as a film studio. The front nose section is designed to hold a red camera and lighting, or scientific gear, to be controlled from pilot one. I am working on a concept for a pair of manipulator arms that would be controlled there as well. Not that i hsve anything else to work on in the meantime.

David,

Since your sub is a two-holer, are you planning on duplicate identical panels and controls in the front cockpit, or merely have a depth gauge and compass? Will you be having duplicate flight controls?  I am just thinking that for economical reasons most tandem seat homebuilt aircraft only have an altimeter and airspeed along with stick and rudder controls in the passenger cockpit.

Today I continue working on my main pilot console. Yet to install, hp air gauges, o2 gauge, touch screen plc, tablet linked to external cameras. Already set left to right, light switches with indicators for both internal and external lighting, hatch closing indicators, air circultation vent, garmin 3d forward sonar, vhf radio, hummingbird depth to bottom gauge, richie compass, auxiliary low voltage power supplies and digital battery status indicators. Each of the 4 raised panels can be removed to access interior wiring if necessary. This ss console will be sitting on a dual arm rest which will be holding the multi axis flight joystick port side, and 6 thruster manual speed controls on starboard arm rest. The flight stick will also have overide throttle controls depending on flight characteristics desired. At least thats the plan.
