Hi Sean - thanks for the reply - sorry to hear about the computer probs, but it happens to us all now and then. Our club pond is only two and a half feet deep so a 12 inch dive sounds OK to me. I'm still building and today I've filed down the top front section, so the next bit is to cut out the flooding holes and the periscope shape. I lightly stuck the locating tube and the support former in the bottom section this morning, then later on I decided that I need to glue the sides of the nose cone to it in order to pull the sides in a bit to keep them in line with the rest of the sub. I'm going to fit the automatic dive and surface stuff and then experiment with the screw settings 'cos I don't want the sub to dive too early - but maybe even with the front planes at 2 degrees down (as recommended) the sub might not dive too early. I'll have to wait until my sea trials. I've read the other thread about the lost sub - phew! that's all I need - I suppose it's essential to make sure that the WTC is really watertight.

Thanks again Sean,



Ian
