Ventilating a WTC

[Slats]

New build Cylinder for 80-inch DeBoer Seaview. Presumably it could function for quick air-out if desired between runs. Also, as the engine bulkhead is a wee tight, the top opening allows me to loosen the control rods at the servo and slide out the equipment tray which is connected to the forward bulkhead. Sorry to go off- topic a bit.

I guess its not a bad way to provide the boat some fresh air if you don't need a battery change, and you don't want to disconnect the WTC from the boat. With kli-con (rare earth magnet) connections however I find that it doesn't take much time to remove the WTC.

Can't you pop off the front end (battery end cap), and ventilate the whole boat that way?

I have used kli-cons before and they are great but I did not feel they were robust enough for this big boat with long linkages. I may be partial to the pop-top as it opens easy/instantly like a beer can

You could make some bigger versions with stronger magnets.

Roger that. I am using the Sullivan spring-loaded ball link quick disconnects which are slick, but I agree whenever possible magnets are the only way to go.
