    'Throtteling' holes. There to reduce the velocity of the weapon as it hits the water.

    David,

          They want to split you into a million pieces...
          Take a break, put up your feet and have one for the team Captain.
          I'll drink to THAT!

            This thread is becoming a bit like carting toddlers around on a road trip..."are we there yet"

            either that or your getting the green light for home plate with a prom date.


            Settle down boys and wait. Good things take time.
            If you don't have the patience to wait you won't get very far in this hobby.

                  This cracks me up carting toddlers around on a road trip . It seems like we are a bunch of kids in a candy store and if they dont have your favorite candy in stock, all hell is going to brake lose .Censored

                  Yes i bet David, has a lot of things going on right know. I wonder if someone is cracking the whip that poor man Crack That WHip I guess you can only get so much done in a day. Yes good things come with those who wait indeed.


                  Keep up the great work David, But i still want it know!:D

                    Yes we all want to know.., I for one want to know:
                    -how the mechanism / switch etc will go in the subdriver:
                    -whether you need an extra servo and push rod linkage;
                    -what the linkage will entail;
                    -whether or not the torpedoes loaded displace a similar amount of water (weight) as an empty tube;
                    - exactly how much space you need;
                    -whether or not the 4 shot tubes are configurable in 2 plus 2 combos (like in a Sturgeon each side) or whether or not they 4 across;
                    -what channel should the system go on (toggle / rotary etc)

                    But for heaven sake - BE PATIENT.

                    I'm of the arrogant point of view that some wanting the system can't handle such a system. Sorry but this hobby attracts its fair share of some which want instant gratification with little understanding of the craftsmanship or design underlying it. IMO you don't appreciate what you don't understand. Lay off the caveman.

                        As a manufature of resin kits and designer, I completely understand, all that goes into a project, I was just looking for some info, as to set up, cost so I can budget for them, If the pressure is too much, sorry.

                        As for product design, may I suggest design and testing first, then post the product when ready, I do that so as not to get every one gung ho, then wait. IMHO

                              lay of the caveman . yes oh yes i do agree good things come with time.
                              with my gato build and my helicopters i build i know exactly what you are saying some people can't realize the time thinking, designing, and testing, goes into something before it can be a reality, but i do know that's for sure.
