[PSUBS-MAILIST] SeaQuestor progress

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Thanks David, good progress.
Got to ask about the sperm whale look-alike fin & the mouth like area at the front.
It seems a deviation from your initial design.

Lots of sanding shaping to get the lines to look and feel right. Once I'm done with one side I get duplicate the details on the opposite side. Today after sanding the front canard, I placed the periscope tube forward of the front pilot to start the final foam fill. Next I started on the aft tank area. The first 80cuft tank is set into its holder. I discovered that the lower area below the tanks will completely conceal all of the tanks, which I like. The the high pressure tanks will be connected to the three holes cut into the rear hemi. The aft rack also holds a pair of thrusters which will be vectored. The mockup shows the control  brackets yet to be mounted once I get the linear actuators. The vhf antenna bracket is also mocked up.  Everyday a little bit more is coming together.
