    He said he did not have the time and possible health issues.
    I was fortunate enough, due to my own health issues, to be online first.
    I sent him PMs to a post about selling his efforts on two other forums.
    He shot me back a reply and a deal was struck.
    I can only say that God loves me.
    This is a gift that is more then financial, it is spiritual I believe.
    I'll drink to THAT!

    I will complete this effort and my second sub is here and the third one is missing in action....I have a Gato on hold and that should do me good.

    I got three walmart subs, two little subs, a Robbe Seawolf, my fleet of Seaviews is coming together and the Gato is my final goal. I should have all this in the water by June
    I'll drink to THAT!

    I will fully detail all his efforts and mine to finish.

        Well its in Dry Dock
        I cannot say enough about the packing experience of Stringfly


        HE IS THE MAN!
        Also his building skills are par excellent.


        I am forever indebted to Park for his gift of many items, including the DVDs that show how to build the unit, the fittings kit, and assembly linkages.

        I am on a pension and I can only say that Park has been EXTREMELY GENEROUS.


        Really I am speechless...
        Thanks from the bottom of the sea and my heart
        Dean

        PS I am enjoying DVD #1
        Thanks Mr Merriman.

            Mr Merriman.
            My DVD set is not playing well. Only #5 works all the way through.
            Do I have your permission to have my brother make copies?
            They will play for me if he does that. I promise to never give or share this information without your express written consent.
            Thanks

            Park has left this build at the stage of pumpjet installation.
            I was waiting for that shim steel to arrive...maybe its lost in the mail.
            I am going to finish this very quickly.

              I cannot get to the section on DVD 4 on installation of the Pumpjets to play, the screen goes dark.
              Its skips to showing the section on tail fin attachement.

              Dean,

              First off, thank you so much for asking before copying copyrighted material. That out of the way, yes, by all means get workable copies made. Your consideration in this matter is most appreciated.

              Hey, you don't need fancy shim stock to wrap the pump-jet ducts, just a turn or two of black Electrician's tape will do the trick -- don't over-think this thing.

              David,

                    Not sure if that function is working.

                    The videos stall even for my brothers computer burner.

                    They are kinda scratched. I got these from STRINGFLY, a member from subcommittee. Since I got them included as a package, I did not purchase them myself. Is it still possible to get a replacement set and I pay shipping and materials? If not thats fine, I understand 100%.

                    Thanks.
                    Dean
                    I don't sell them, that is taken care of by Caswell Inc. Approach them and buy a set.

                          Well I got another question.
                          For the manta dive planes, does the arm of the cleavis point down or back with the planes in the neutral position? Currently I have them pointing down. And I always do this wrong the first time...so is this correct?


                          Or should they be pointing to the aft section instead of the keel?

                          The video portion of this section does not play and I cannot find a good pic on the web. I see that they are connected directly to the rear dive planes. I got the brass rod connectors for the dive planes and would like to hook them up.

                          PS I have the pump jets the proper distance in the nicelles. Great fit Mr Merriman.
                          Thanks
                          Dean

                            The bow plane bell-cranks point down.

                              Well, I did something right for the first time.
