Thanks for your reply Sean - Now that's interesting, I'm wondering now if I should do the same with my front planes and just fix them horizontally - all I want to be able to do is slowly dive under the surface and travel underwater at around one and a half feet. Our club pond is only three feet deep so I'm not looking at doing any fancy stunt work. I take it then that by just using your rear planes to make the sub go under you then level them out at the required depth to travel underwater, then raise them when you want to surface If that's right did you measure the front planes exactly level then fix them in that position? Also did you still cut out the holes in the conning tower and upper front deck to help with the flooding? Actually I did think of asking SJN but I seem to keep pestering him - I've even been sending him PMs so I didn't want to be a nuisance.

Thanks a lot Sean,


Ian
