    I thought my scale that I use for mixing materials was abused, but you have taken it to a whole new level. I'm not sure how you can even find it on the bench. Well done sir!

      I put my scales into a clear plastic sandwich bag, when it gets too soiled just replace with a new one.

        Ellie and I would go out and buy a new one ever couple of years. Cheap.

            Didn't you make a variable volume ballast tank in the past.
            Was it a technological dead end?
            Make it simple, make strong, make it work!

              No positive feed-back, so we dropped that design feature. We endeavored not to waste time and resources flogging dead horses.

                    I see someone was asking about the Albacore forward dive plane mechanism. This is the link https://youtu.be/HYSpHQs2DLQ?t=1636

                    Looking at that, it appears the planes simply have to revolve around their axis by 270 degrees for their stowed position? If so an alternative method of achieving that would be to use a pair of servos designed for 360 degree rotation (which tend to use a hall based encoder rather than feedback pot) with a small microcontroller to intercept the signal from the receiver to extend the servo pulse to get the increased rotation.
