              Does one need to cover the positive terminal in rtv silicone to prevent corrosion?

              3rd bolt for fixing the wtc in place?

                  So this boat is still on trial (Yellow stripes)!

                  Representing a particular boat number?

                          I suppose so, with an appropriately sized ballast tank

                            You mentioned the ballast section for the XXI is around 3.75 ounces (110ml). What's the estimated ballast tank volume of the Xia class?

                              David,
                              Are you expecting the Type XXI to be at waterline with that size tank? (I am not saying it won't, it looks small)
                              Peace,
                              Tom
                              If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

                                It is small, but enough for that model. During the hull layup I went with three laminates of ten-ouch cloth for the lower hull and only two layers for the upper hull. That resulted in a much less dense above waterline structure than that below. Including the hollow cast sail the above waterline structure represented only a bit over three ounces of water displacement. That's all this models ballast tank has to hold to destroy the reserve buoyancy needed to unfloat the boat.
