Sorry to hear about Chris's passing. Hope you find some good homes for his boats to be enjoyed going forward.

Okey dokey. The old Eden/sheerline modules used to put the rods externally, with the advantage that they didn’t have to be sealed at all, plus it...

[Subculture]

Unless your draw bars have internal seals you will need to have capped off nuts to prevent water working its way inside the wtc by capillary reaction....

[Subculture]

Do you still have the tools for the 1.25" cylinders or have they gone to Bob?

[Subculture]

You can use any glanded o-ring (available from Norbert Bruggen) or a lip seal as a rotary seal, even bellows work as a rotary seal- Graupner used them...

[Subculture]

If the seals are nitrile use silicone grease, you shouldn't need to fill shafts up with grease, you only need to grease the rubber gland . I can't recall...

Yeah, looks as if he's living in the woods like a bear!

Perhaps it came with the kit, Dave mentioned likely to be a scale shipyard hull, or ‘shock horror’ someone scratch built it. :)

[Subculture]

That was 18 years ago, so that would have made him 32.

If you're focused on getting the system you have to work, I'd advise putting the hull to one side and focus on getting a functional wtc, as that is essentially...

Gas system works by venting the tank at the top via servo or solenoid actuated valve, water floods in through the hole in the bottom- down you go. The...

[Subculture]

What you have looks very useable to me, tank size looks reasonable. The Dave Manley cylinders are well engineered just make sure the seals are in good...

[Subculture]

Possibly. Depends how the isolator is wired. Should be easy to check with a volt/multimeter

[Subculture]

Don’t know is it a signal level issue? Try a bit of substitution, check both esc’s work fine when plugged directly to their respective channels,...

[Subculture]

The x-craft was essentially based on the old Holland craft, shortened and with a simplified hull form to make manufacture quicker and easier.

Have you tried asking FlaredPhoenix? He's done a number of challenging submarine subjects and is available for hire. Not sure of his fees, but might be...

Okay it’s a personal file. I wasn’t after one, just wondered where it had originated.

[Subculture]

Is this file out there for download? I've seen a CB render that look great, but I don't think it's downloadable- https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/cb-c...

[Subculture]

At present there is a plentiful supply of cylinders, hulls and full kits if you want. However if you are very specific about the subject and scale of...

Ah well, worse things happen at sea.

He seems to be have been a helicopter fan- they tend to come with everything in the box. Model subs...
