Let's ask the big question: Any estimation about the total cost incluiding subdriver, fittings and weaponry?

[Albion]

OK same as the type 7 then, someones been busy

[Buellman1]

Basically none of the drain and vent holes are open. The pieces are molded very thin in those spots if you want to cut them open.

[Albion]

All the drain and vent holes in the hull, did you cut those out, or is it moulded like that?

Hey, Von.

If you have plated magnets, I'm game. Our current source is Gauss Boys, http://www.gaussboys.com

Great variety of product and sterling service. Finished installing the latching magnets for the deck, after I take my hideous nap I'll do the same for the sail.

As far as electronic interference, there is none providing there is no relative motion between magnets and electronic devices -- no motion, no induced EMF. (Thank you, BE&E school!).

roger on the plated, I'll send a few different sizes shapes you can experiment with. We get them from a couple different places, overseas at volume. Compaired toGause boys prices there about half. I have an annual order going out this week for ten thousand in various sizes but I have some over ordered that are in the warehouse we didnt use for production, your welcome to have. Quite a few 10mm x 01 discs and some 25mm x 5 x2 mm thick and 20x5x2s. Phase II of BE&E was a blurr for me. It was Oct 62 at the FSS with a sonar class. A couple of us had to audit the class untill they passed on thru the green doors to sonar phases. The weekend we got out of the school on friday and got the 72 hr libbs, and be back aboard at Oh6 monday. Longest liberty I ever would have had up to that time. Sat AM, we went to Miami in whites (no civi clothes back then for PO2 &below) Sat noon we were picked up by the SP on the beach and told that Kennedy had canceled all leave and liberty and get back to the base. Snail addy?

What if you mounted the magnets horizontal from the position you chose?
Then when the magnets slide into the hull attached magnet holders there is also a
mechanical hold down as the deck magnets slide partially into the hull magnet
holders. Also they won't extend as deep into the hull maybe.

Dave, I was wondering about the magnetic influance on the electronics. I just happen to be VP of production of my daugher's magnet buisness and have access to quite a veriety of sizes, shapes and power. If you would like, I can send you a variety of small synthetics to check out, for further projects. Those you are using, look like what we use. I put some small 5x1 mm discs in brass tubing that I made the retractable bollards and used them for a 1/48 scratch build type VII to hold the decks down. Im thinking I will do that to the big type II, if I ever get around to working on it this winter.

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

The three-piece deck will be secured by magnets only, as will the sail to the middle deck piece. I designed and fabricated a proof-of-concept set of magnet foundations, installed them and they worked fine. Now to make an identical set which will be masters off of which I make a tool for the fittings kit parts.

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Would the type vii SD be amenable to such a set up? I remember you mentioning that the 2 280s are also too much.

Another good question. Wish I had the time to explore that arrangement. However, I've kept Mamas waiting nearly a year now on my promised SD for his beautiful STINGRAY, and there is a ton of production work I'm behind on already.

Time! I need more time!!!!!
