    Testing R&R wtc sans sub

    I am now at the point where I can begin working on setting up my dual tank R&R 100mm wtc. I know that once I complete my first wet sub, the concepts of buoyancy will completely sink in - but right now I have an embarrassingly ignorant question to ask:

    When the wtc is finished, I want to test it in my test tank. How do you ballast and prevent from rolling a wtc which is unencumbered by the sub itself? Thank you.

    Rubber-band a hunk of lead on its bottom. Duh!

        Chuckle - I suspected it was a “duh!” question but nothing ventured, nothing gained. Thank you both!
