      In the case of your 2" SAS SD instead of an electronic LPB switch on ch5 you use a mechanical switch (red) activated by the ballast tank servo, correct?

              Oh boy, the plate is becoming full!, need to save some money, because those suckers here want on every imported product tax
              Nice trick with the switch on the ch 5 servo, this way you free up another channel for other things
              I've seen the vids, how big is the turningradius?, any info on the diving handling and speed?

                Those three in-water short videos are of the only open water time I've gotten with the model so far -- festivities stopped when the stern plane servo **** the bed. But, from the brief time on the surface and running submerged I found the turning radius to be about five-feet, speed was more than adequate, and depth control excellent. Response to stern and bow plane was immediate. Just before the stern plane issue it was running submerged very, very well.

                You'll have a blast with yours, old friend.

                  David,

                  Turningradius with those boats in real life was a issue, but those where ocean boats, so turning quickly was not a thing, first get my grubby hands on the model itself to see what i've got.
                  Then Manfredize the boat, i've allready gathering stuff to forfill my Rube Goldberg needs.
                  Not sure if i want to follow with running the motors in the wet, i can allways build a gearbox for two shafts, we'll see, if everything goes well i've got me a nice runner, and offcourse i will document the journey.

                  Manfred.

                        You're a god-damn artist! This is art, Mr. Merriman.

                          What I do is Craft. Not 'art'.

                          The term 'art' is a catch-all word used by untalented people desperate to be regarded as 'special'. 'Artists' today are no talent bums who work to convince others that they have some sort of very special 'gift' of expression.

                          The word 'art' -- as it's applied today -- no longer has a specific meaning.

                          'Art' used to identify product produced by talented men of 2D and 3D photo-real representations; not a urine filled Mason jar containing a crucifix, or a canvas covered with smeared Elephant ****.

                          I. Am. No. ****ing. Artist!

                          I. Are. Craftsman. I employ shop skills to produce functional, real-life looking objects.

                          'Art' is the stuff of today's 'Influencer'' frauds who have convinced idiots that they have a useful means of expression.

                            Just wish someone would make a hard copy of your work. I prefer a physical book over electronic. Want to read something even when the power goes out or the EMP destroys all e-devices.

                              Yup. Hence my reluctance to engage in activities that -- as a must -- rely exclusively on electricity. If I can't substitute a mule-on-a-treadmill for the tools I use, I don't want anything to do with said tool.

                              You want a ****ing book? Copy all my ****, have it bound, and put it away for the apocalypse (it'll be one of the three Books Geoge takes back with him to share with the Eloi, no doubt -- as the Morlock Water & Power company would have been put out of business by then).

                              A pointed question to you kids: How many of you know what a spokeshave is?

                              The Prosecution rests.

                                Okey, without googling, a spokeshave is like a handheld plane with handles on both sides.
