Oscar Continued

Carefully note this picture. Notice the bow wave and the deep trough formed at the bow. Now note my Oscar running on Sunday at 1/3rd throttle. Somewhat similar, just no whitecap froth on top of the waves.

The Oscar is a little out of trim but the video serves the purpose. I made it to show the Snort system with the large pump in operation. At some point in the future I want to do it again but this time with it in forward motion, decks awash.

Absolutely, The BEC does as well as the speed controller.

Excellent run time -- I hope you have a Lipo-Guard in there protecting the battery, Mark!

David,

This weekend I took her out again to try to sort things out. My problem is that before I changed the setup on the stern plane linkage this sub held periscope depth perfectly with a capital P. Now it doesnt to put it mildly. So after the run I took it home and commenced the pain in the butt task of accessing the stern planes mech. and moving the pushrod linkage to a different hole to give me more throw on the stern planes. This coming weekend we will see how successful it was. Also the 3200 MAH 3 cell LIPO from Caswell lasted for 2 and 1/4 hrs. of run time. I think thats real good.

Here is a picture of my newly installed brass props. There is quite a story behind them as I had already ordered them once from Rabaesch and recieved them, and started to modify them to fit when they were stolen from my workplace by the lowest form of life on the planet.........Thieves. Thieves who come in the night when everyone else is asleep. SCUM, PARASITES! Im sorry, dont get me started. Anyway I waited months for the first set and then months for the second set. Anyway I finally got them modified and installed with their attenuaters.They proved necessary in high current situations like several weeks ago I visited Blue springs and lost one of the drives so I had only one prop. With the current pushing the boat around I retired early. Now with almost 3 lbs. of thrust even one prop is more than enough.
