<DIV style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif; font-size:10pt;"><DIV>Alan,</DIV><DIV> I like the idea of the ropes to control in case of rolling during a test. BTW, got all that lead today, did you know that you can cut lead with a Skill saw ? I just tried it today, works really good. I think I might be able to position all that lead in my ballast area with out having to melt it . I can secure it with some sort of bolted bar arrangement.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Brian<BR><BR>--- personal_submersibles@psubs.org wrote:<BR><BR>From: Alan via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><BR>To: Personal Submersibles General Discussion <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><BR>Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] more Esmae video<BR>Date: Fri, 15 Apr 2016 06:52:21 +1200<BR><BR></DIV><DIV>Brian,</DIV><DIV>so if you add weight you need to add floatation to counter it.</DIV><DIV>When I first saw the video I thought perhaps fill the bottom of</DIV><DIV>the cylindrical hull section with lead.
