[PSUBS-MAILIST] New video, test

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

 Brian, good to hear.  May I suggest you choke back the air-flow out of your 2 inch vent valve.  You might have better control to submerge more evenly.  Wth that huge valve, you will get bounce.  I think when Alec Dives it drops several feet from inertia.Hank

 Hi All,                 Was able to get down to the boat yard and do another test after removing a substantial amount of weight.   I still could stand to lose more weight in the nose.  I also moved the bottom opening to midships which facilitated with the ballast air not bleeding out the rear like it was before.   So now at least I can get back up to the surface without the nose pointing down.   But it still is not submerging or ascending in a level orientation .  Although it's a little hard to tell in such shallow water.   However it is very stable now after the loss of a lot of weight up high.
