This is more of an "investigative-research" type thread, at this point.
I am looking to r/c this sub, and was wondering if anyone has undertaken the conversion before?
I'll be building a 1" diameter wtc for her, which it appears can be up to about 7" in length.
Was, originally, considering making her a dynamic diver, via the forward diving planes, but since
there will be more available room in the cylinder than previously thought, I think I would like to make her
a static diver. The aft planes look to be pretty much out of the question as far as making them functional!! Hence the reason for utilizing the forward planes.
I'm hoping not to bite off more than I can chew, but am really inspired by the piston type air system
in development by Trout, and his Aluminaut. Which is pretty cool r&d work!! Thanks so much for your posts!
Am also considering cobbling up something akin to Mr. Merrimans "Snort" system, with Davids "blessing",
of course!!??
Any input will indeed be greatly appreciated as this will be my first sub build!! Yeah, I know, David!! It's the Faberge Egg thing, again!!
Was going to start with my Trumpeter Kilo, but this is intriguing the heck out of me, and being crazy in the first place, it just seemed like a "natural"!! Hah!! Besides, I still have way too many active brain cells that I gotta clean out!!
Thanks, in advance, for any thoughts, criticisms or sympathies!!
