    Foxtrot !!!

    Finally made a start, should really concentrate on the M1 but got side tracked

    First roadblocks. the WTC is built but i cant stop the vent valve from leaking. it look like the screw is pushing just behind the ball of the valve. Even with a big closing force on the valve it leaks, any tips?

    Secondly, here's the sail internals, but where do the various ladders go, and what are the other loose parts?

    Next time someone points out it takes 42 muscles to frown, point out it will only take 4 muscles to b1tch slap them if they tell you how mnay muscles you need to smile:pop

      Next question.

      Looks like the moulded in brass tubes at rear are designed for 3/32 shafts.
      Dave did you use rubber tube to connect these to something more usual, to feed through to your bearing bulkhead?

      looks like hooking up the rear planes is going to be fun :(

          This is the Foxtrot kit?
          Your hosed, nothing can be done about the leak. So, as a fellow r/c submariner, I will take this off your hands and let you focus on the M1. Aren't I a stand up guy? jk
          If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

                  Yes, I use rubber tubing as universals between the SD output shafts and propeller shafts. It was all in my Cabal Reports -- you're on that list, right?
