<font color='black' size='3' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3">Thanks Al. I remembered that right after I read it. I think that's the lake where Web salvaged the first Lake Amphibian airplane after it punched a wave on takeoff and sank. The owners sicced the sheriff on Web and made him give up the wreckage (the plane was totaled, of course). He was mad as hops about the whole thing because apparently they wouldn't pay him, or even say thanks, or have a nice day, or kiss my ass, or anything else. Mind you, I'm betting there was another side to the story that we didn't get, but hey, who's counting?</font>

He dove it to test depth in 100 foot increments. DOVE IT, mind you. As in, climbed aboard and went on down there himself. He didn't see the problem. The hull was okay. He knew that from the start and figured a guy with a flashlight and a handy crescent wrench was safer than sending all that money down on the end of a string. Not everyone's cup of tea, but it worked just fine. Web just shrugged when I raised an eyebrow. "What was going to happen?" he asked. "Piddly little leaks, maybe. Nothing more." And he didn't even have those. The little K just went about its business, pretty as you please. He did that up in the Finger Lakes in New York, one of which
has a 500 foot plus hole somewhere. Quite
a guy, old Web. You gotta love him for sheer balls. He was a professional fire fighter. Plenty of nerve to go around, those folks.</font>

<div>Plan for the deep test is to take it out to sea and sink it down. I'll rig up some sort of lift bag arrangement to bring it up. Ive got 60m of water fairly close in, plus i can have a diver with it at that depth, so that should be at least a start. If thats ok, i plan to take it out to 150m of water, which is quite a bit further out. There is a boat here that is an old navy landing craft (fought in the Falklands war) and has been fitted with a hiab crane. They use it for shipping stores to the smaller islands. Im hoping to use that for the big test. I have to just ask the bloke at the right moment...</div>
