So far I have throttle, buoyancy (surfaced and submerged), and the metacentric height down. next outing I'll dial in the angle-keeper a bit tighter and will also play with its sensitivity. Only after I have all other variables locked down will I increase the throws. But, yeah, I agree, this best should cut tighter corners, Andy.
My little Type-212 does indeed turn on a dime. We'll get Scott's ALBACORE doing the same in due time.

I'm guessing you had the control throws set very conservatively, because that boat should easily turn in its own length. 212's have a higher aspect and smaller control surfaces, and they can really crank round on a turn.Leave a comment:

Dave it’s the three motor WTC but with a new rear bulkhead , only 2 motors to fit better into the M1!!!
still trying to neaten the wiring up before testing in anger. To add to my woes the servo on the vent valve has died, need to pull that out.

Doubtful they have anything like 9.9A of capacity, a lot of these cheaper cells have exaggerated specs, but assuming they do have the capacity, then look at what the C rating is like. The C rating of the Sony batteries is 10C, but halve that for good performance, still 15A per cell- plenty of juice even on 2S systems.
Edit, just noticed in the blurb-- Nominal Capacity: 3001-3500mAh
So not much more capacity than the Sony cells, can't find a C rating. beware not all 18650 cells are equal.

I think you could squeeze in a pair of 18650's in the battery section, Dave. They go up to about 3Ah capacity, which would give you double the time. The name stands for the cell size 18mm diameter by 65mm length, in old money 0.7" diameter by 2.55" long. e.g. https://eu.nkon.nl/rechargeable/1865...18650vtc6.html
