Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] gamma's arm<br>

<pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><tt>Vance,
I removed the arm from gamma along with the valve and supporting stuff. Turns
out that package is chunky, 108 lbs. Mystery solved! I have to admit, it was a
bad idea to mount the valve inside the ballast tank area. A single drop of oil
that leaks ends up fogging the windows. As part of my renovation, I am mounting
the arm and valve to a drop mechanism under the front ballast tank along with a
thruster package. The entire assembly including thrusters will be jettisoning.
Dan Lance gave me a video to watch called The dry divers, it shows the Q Ball
arm in action. That little arm is quite impressive. I would like to see the
plans for it. I did not realize it actually used an actual Q ball.
Hank
