OMG, Shim Steel is here and some bits and servo arms and all kinds of goodies. Thanks Ray, your the best kind of person.

I will now set my pumpjets.
I'll drink to THAT!

[junglelord]

Well that shim steel has not arrived. Wonder what is up with the mail these days>? I will have the rest of the parts in the sub in a few weeks (I keep spending it putting my son through college). If it has not arrived by then, I will try to get some from my brother, the mechanic who works at Canadian Tire.

Look at Rays thread for the shimsteel.

If wrapping the pumpjets with shimsteel instead of black electrical tape is an improvement, I'd like to see a picture of THAT. I'm not familiar with shimsteel so, show us when you can.

Stop gettingg wrapped around the axle on this one and just jump in the water. I am sure you can figure it out..if not at least make it work. Instructions are for women :)

I only re-ordered DVDs via tech support.
I did not ask them the geometry of the two appendages for linkage via the brass rods. Its just simple geometry due to the way the sub is designed. The Sail Planes I saw a sample, but a clear picture until the DVDs clear customs, or whatever happens to crap there, would speak volumes.

I mean how hard can it be to give a simple pic?
A picture of the geometry between the inner sail which is hanging and finished, which connects to the intermediate rod configuration, under the superstructre and also connects to the rear of the sub driver is the one funky one. That intermediate design, which I saw had several bends.

The way the two front bow fins connect at the rear, and how many guide vanes, that is the second one. The two front are slaved off the rear, I know that, but I just would like a picture of the geometry of how they come together, and what bends if any I need to make. That about sums up the missing data, and knowledge and steps to complete number one Seaview from STRINGFLY.

The missing shimsteel, is a gift and an improvement according to David, instead of wraping the pumpjets in black electric tape, wrap them in shimsteel instead, then blue RTV. I have these three things to do.

Did you try asking your questions thru 'Tech-Support'?
Maybe someone is Awake there?

wrap the pumpjets

[Nuke Power]

wish I had the answer for you on this one but this is one of the few boats I have not built :(

[mickelsen]

In the meantime, would you mind telling me what you would be using "shim steel" for on your Seaview :confused:

[junglelord]

Dean, are you saying you have not received shim steel, you should have well had it by now.

New batch in post as i write!!!!

Ray.

Seems in the last two months I have had more then four items go "missing in action".

The loss of items ordered, or sent by members, or from ebay, well its quite clear that without insurance, the international mail is a total loss.
Crack That WHip


Meanwhile I still would give blood to see one goddamned picture of the linkages. Considering how this was a forum to assist builds, I am bummed out that not one person, from Mr Merriman to any knowledgeable soul in the internet world has not ONE single solitary pic, just to get me done, till the missing **** returns....well, happy freaking easter....Newman from the Seinfeld show is stealing my goddamned mail....

I have never lost stuff with Canadian mail....this sucks.

[junglelord]

Well, I guess its a lost cause?
Not a single solitary picture available.
None will ever come I guess.
DVDs lost in the mail....alone with my one Seaview.
Time to order the missing DVDs again....feels like the universe is out to scuttled my Seaview sub, come hell or high water.

[junglelord]

Well the weather is fine. The stomach flu is done....
Maybe over the weekend Mr Merriman could post for me a simple photo of the sail connector and the bow and stern dive plane connections. I keep having to hand over my savings to my son who will be done college in June. So I am trying to be patient.
Thanks.
Dean

[junglelord]

Thanks Ray. I am waiting for a good photo of the linkages for the bow and rear dive planes. Hopefully the DVDs are not lost in the mail either.
I'll drink to THAT!
