[PSUBS-MAILIST] All done for now

Great video Hank. One thing that stands out as a potential problem though, are the tabs that the bumper stops are mounted to on your swinging ballast tanks. Given their size and orientation, it looks like the base welds there might be subject to a fair bit of force, and cycling (fatigue inducing) at that. I might be inclined to weld in some sort of webs or gussets to stiffen those tabs.

Also, you mention that the skids can be jettisoned. Can you elaborate on how that works? Do you become severely positively buoyant when that happens?
