I was looking at the Gato too but it is just to big for the apartment so I went for the Seaview. But now that David M has created the small subdriver I can look forward to working on the Trumpeter 144 Gato kit thats in the closet:D:D

Now to get a Gato...

Yep, you need variety!:)
I was afraid you were getting obsessed with all the Seaviews. :eek: LOL :D

When it rains, it pours, I got my refund from the government for income tax and a paypal refund for a Seaview missing in action. Thats more then enought get my two Lipo Batteries with free charger, Plane Level ADF device, SL-8 Sombra rx, Lipo protector device and I hope my second D&E Seaview Subdriver.

Thanks for those two sets of fixed vanes Mr Merriman.
Cheers

I particulary like the cabel 11 about scribbing and cutting the superstructure.
I'll drink to THAT!

[junglelord]

I am combing the cabel reports on the Seaview.
I cannot find linkage pictures or information.
Waiting patiently for the new DVDs.
Could you direct me to the proper cabel report if possible?
Thanks
Dean

What an amazing work of art the Sub Driver is with this build.
The CG is PERFECT. Incredible fit and balance. I cannot say enough about the experience of Mr Merriman or the product. I will love getting a Gato together. The internet world out there who are listening. The Seaview kit from Caswell is a must buy. The DVD set a must have. Everything works PERFECT. Thanks Mr Merriman and Mike Caswell for completing my dreams of a boy and on my birthday no less...how cool is that?
Cheers

Happy BI'll drink to THAT!day

Looking through disc 1 there are many shots of the inside of the Seaview. Dave goes over the push rods. From what I can see there are plastic tabs about every 3 frames that keep the bow plane push rods in place.

Happy Birthday to ME.
I'll drink to THAT!

[junglelord]

That helps the old minds eye.
Your a good guy Steve.
Very kind of you.
Cheers
I'll drink to THAT!

Any guide channels along the inner hull?


Thanks everyone
Dean

PS Mr Merrimans build is a perfect example of his experience. The CG is perfect. Its quite a work of art and science.
I cannot say enough about this engineering feat of excellence. Its more then a boyhood dream come true. Its a gift from the God above as I should be in Heaven and not walking or breathing on my own. I did not have all the money for the entire system and thanks to STRINGFLY my birthday is a very happy one. Thanks Mr Merriman, I am 47 and the owner of a working Seaview. In reality its priceless and I know you do not get paid enough. Or at least your worth more then you can charge. I will forever be enjoying my summers, spring and fall, with my Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.

The bow plane push rods meet aft forming a "Y" and then are coupled with the aft planes push rod using the 3/16" collar. I have a video capture of it but not sure I can post it without permission from Dave or Mike.
