    Ron Perrott system? Looks like it, check this page out: http://www.rcsubs.co.uk/our-products
    If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

      Are you talking about the step down in WTC diameters? Did this gosh 10 years ago on a Will Oudmeyer WTC he built for me. Later I added a new end cap made on my lathe using the same material Will used and end and added a smaller 3-inch diameter. section to allow for narrower bow section. Works perfectly. I modified my WTC to allow battery space still and more forward buoyancy in the tapering bow.

          The twin pump R&R system is a simplified version of the original twin piston tank unit, which dates back some decades. Ron found majority of modellers were going for the pump system over piston tanks, as it’s cheaper and simpler to maintain for the owner.

            I was speaking of where the control rods exit the cylinder.
