Precession of rotation?

What you said.........yeah thats exactly what I was contemplating..................yeah

Whats next? I dunno. Ive been toying around with the idea of getting all the lights working again. The lights shinning out the eight windows, as well as the nose spot light and the Cadillac fins lights. Ive had them all working before and I did a night run with her. Maybe thats next.

Thanks Peter. Perhaps Rick Teskeys designed Seaview doesnt lend itself to that. Maybe slight, imperceptible, dimensional changes in his dampen the shovel noses effect on ride characteristics. I dont know since this is the only one Ive had any experience with. It should be noted that I deviated(deviant behavior common)from the normal setup in that I turned the rear horizontal fins into dive planes. The only time it tends to go down is in the turns. It goes down worse when you turn to port, not so much when you turn to starboard. Who knows.

As I said earlier this thing looks great. I am surprised with the speed this thing goes and the shape of that nose that it doesn't bury it's headstraight down.

Heres the last one and its the longest. I highly recommend selecting the highest setting on the playback that you can. The default setting is low.

Thanks Dave. Heres another video, a bit longer this time. In the background you can hear my brother Perry answering questions from a bystander. Apparently unaware that his voice would also be captured on the video.

Beautiful! Your brother did a great job with both the camera and the narrative. Best running SEAVIEW I've ever seen (and I've seen a few).

More fun with the Rick Teskey made hull and Caswell available Components. As you know if youve followed my threads, this sub has been in my possession for eight years as I slowly learned about the hobby and gathered the courage to make modifications to its original setup.

Rock steady at periscope depth. A real achievement on this type boat, Mark. Well done, sir!

The natives are getting restless. OK here is the first one. As usual Youtubes rendering of it is horrible. When it comes up, in the right hand lower corner of the Youtube screen is a little cogwheel. Click on that and select 720 speed. It looks a whole lot better.
