[PSUBS-MAILIST] Launch test

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

 Cliff, the slope does not matter, in fact less slope is better.  The winch does not have to work as hard then.  I actually load the sub right off the shop floor into the trailer.  The freeboard is spot on, but I am not sure if the weight is correct yet.  I will pool test as soon as the ground thaws for my test pool.  I am trying to be patient, and I don't like it.  Hank

  Glad that your launch system worked.  For the concrete ramps in Texas, the slope is a lot more shallow than yours.  I am not sure it would have cleared on these shallow ramps.  
How did the free board work out compared with what you thought you would see?

 My launch test of E3000 was a total success and worked better than expected.  The sub rolls into the water effortlessly and only requires 40 ish  inches of water to launch.  The wheel bearings on the trailer don't touch the water either.Video to follow soonHank_______________________________________________
