My model is almost finished, and I only have to now finalize the push-rod connections to the rudder and rear dive planes.
I have used a Velcro strap to secure the Sub-driver, and a 3/16" pin to locate a similar sized hole in the base of the cylinder.
I had problems getting the height of the aft end of the Sub-driver right to connect the Klik-ons to the push-rods, so I embedded a nut in Quickwood epoxy in the keel area. The screw in the nut adjusts the height of the Sub-driver.
Finally, I filled the two center areas with epoxy and lead shot.
The pink foam was a breeze to install, and I shaped it to fit the Sub-driver using some wet n' dry paper wrapped around a piece of round wood. It is glued into place with RTV.
Now I need to get the boat into the water - the scary part!
