[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

I would think making the 4 small cylinder-valves would be the most difficult parts, since the internal piston and seal would need to be a very close-tolerance fit. Did you use O-ring for seal?

Just modified Schraeder (spelling?) valves. They leak past the stem, but are only actuated momentarily, so gas loss is minimal.

I have a lot of love for the sport and hobby for a very long time.

Yes i bet they will be the fastest helicopter subs, to sink the quickest to the deep bottom never coming up:D

Wow, appears to be a great design!
Definitely Not KISS enough for just anyone to build tho. (there's a Lot of solder joints)
David, you don't have to worry about many people stealing your design.
The spring-loaded one-way-rotation servo-linkage-arm is very interesting.
The ring-tube distribution-manifold appears complicated at first but it's probably one of the simplest ways to do it.
I like it!

You figured out what the linkage is for. Not bad. Yes, its a torpedo launcher firing valve selector switch.

Mike has me working on a simplified, production version for you dummies out there. Stay tuned ... film at Eleven!

He don't want us to Steal his Secrets. ;)
He prefers to Sell them to the Highest Bidder. :D

Damn right!

Just sent some pictures of my torpedo work to Mike and he'll post 'em when he can.

By the way, I like the new banners he's running here.

David,

Get and post the darned torpedo pictures David. You never needed my permission to blow your trumpet before, so what's this wimpy attitude all of a sudden?:rolleyes:

I'll bet a shilling those motors aren't British. Look more like Chinese.
:)

I think you owe me a Shilling, sure looks like they make them.

I found some 6.mm dia. Gear-motors, but they are kinda expensive and they are in U.K. so there would a large shipping charge also.
I have not figured out the shaft coupling on them yet, tho.
So ordering them may be a Gamble.
