Just watch Tiver21s latest YT video where he shows his WTC for his 1/72 Kilo. In the video he placed tire weights inside the WTC to impart roll stability. Shouldn't the weights be on the hull?

Saw that too, not sure what advantage if any? -
I have seen weights added to a WTC, mostly in VERY old postings. Some would level their WTC, then add weight to a hull for any minor corrections. I would guess the thought process is moving the wtc around to different subs would be simpler, maybe keep hull weight down too. I do not know it does not work for my brain.If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.Comment

Keeping the weight in the cylinder reduces the effectiveness of them. The further the distance between your center of buoyancy and center of mass, the more stable the boat.Comment

You have to turn the volume off to watch the damn thing. Obnoxious music in videos are the most annoying thing in the world. Besides, who puts their weights in the WTC? Never seen, heard, or even thought about it.Of the approximately 40,000 men who served on U-boats in WWII, it is estimated that around 28,000 to 30,000 lost their lives.Comment
