Thanks Tom,
Each time that i run this baby i'm tuning in on her, hope to get it the third run right, as you stated before, when running right it's a easy boat to handle, that pitchdown issue from David has nothing to do with the model itself, i did made some full power passes underwater, not a glitch, on the other hand she is responsive on the diveplanes, much more then my other models.
I suspect David's problem has something to do with the ADF settings, last evening i did a zero bubble calibration, i know for sure i did this the first time right, there was a major difference when i did it last evening, my guess about 4 degrees nose down difference, i've had nothing changed inside the SD near the ADF, for a submarine that's huge.
So, applying full throttle will give you the nose down effect, the ADF can't correct this steep angle by compensating, ending up in a pitch down event.
Romel,
I have no idea if this a better way, it suited me the best, cutting at the waterline or Z cut will always be done, this way you have easy access to the SD, i took a gamble on the radial approach with in mind no tools needed, to make this commercially will be a complete other ball game, it's far to complicated for easy building, i like the challence to make it work, getting the benefit of extracting your SD without much hassle is a nice bonus.
