We just picked up a new Type VII SubDriver (assembled version). My son was quick to inspect the package. Here's his report.
The (new Caswell) mission switch is an easy drop in, but a tight fit. Most of the the washers would not fit. He's got the outermost collar on tight and the rubber cover over the assembly. What's the correct set-up?
The port motor shaft turns freely in both directions. There is obvious magnetic resistance as it turns. The starboard motor is very difficult to turn. It seems to be binding or the shaft could be sticking to the seal. My sense is that the endcap will have to go back to the cave.
He asked about a small rod with an L-bend that is centerline aft between the main shafts. It's clearly not watertight. His question... What's it for?
