It's nice to be renovating the sub after an 8 year hiatus. All new domes and other viewports have been fabricated. New coms and thrusters too. Looking forward to diving again late summer.</span></div><div class="yiv2188304904qtdSeparateBR" id="yiv2188304904yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1498092335534_3823"><br clear="none">Greg</div><div class="yiv2188304904yahoo_quoted" id="yiv2188304904yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1498092335534_3829" style="display:block;"> <div id="yiv2188304904yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1498092335534_3828" style="font-family:verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"> <div id="yiv2188304904yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1498092335534_3827" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"> <div class="yiv2188304904yqt1641716160" id="yiv2188304904yqt77576"><div dir="ltr" id="yiv2188304904yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1498092335534_3826"> <font id="yiv2188304904yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1498092335534_3825" size="2" face="Arial"> </font><hr id="yiv2188304904yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1498092335534_3832" size="1"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br clear="none"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">To:</span></b> Personal Submersibles General Discussion <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> <br clear="none"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">Sent:</span></b> Friday, June 16, 2017 12:32 PM<br clear="none"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Test at boat yard<br clear="none"> </div> <div class="yiv2188304904y_msg_container" id="yiv2188304904yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1498092335534_4091"><br clear="none"><div id="yiv2188304904"><div id="yiv2188304904yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1498092335534_4095"><div id="yiv2188304904yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1498092335534_4094" style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:16px;"><div id="yiv2188304904yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1497629837802_14373"><span></span></div><div id="yiv2188304904yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1497629837802_14373"><span id="yiv2188304904yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1498092335534_4093">I am sure you will get the kinks worked out.

But now I'm just concerned with having a working sub for the time being. When I made the forward trim tank it needed to be able to take the same pressure of the hull but I think I over did it a bit and used too heavy a gauge pipe . I'm not getting the buoyancy that I need , it was difficult to calculate what the weight of the ferro cement would be in water up in the front there. </div><div id="yiv2188304904yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1497629837802_14291"> </div><div id="yiv2188304904yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1497629837802_14285"> I ran most all the air out of the MBT and at the end the nose took a nose dive. I think the best thing would be to put a big cylinder of synaptic foam in place of the tank I have now , that way I could add extra compressed air cylinders if there is too much buoyancy , or lead to find the balance point. </div><div id="yiv2188304904yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1497629837802_14396"> </div><div id="yiv2188304904yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1497629837802_14367"> One thing that I'm extremely pleased about the freeboard when the MBT is filled with air, I have nearly 4 ft to the top of the hatch.</div><div id="yiv2188304904yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1497629837802_14366"> </div><div id="yiv2188304904yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1497629837802_14365">Brian</div><div id="yiv2188304904yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1497629837802_14364"> </div><div id="yiv2188304904yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1497629837802_14315"> <br clear="none"></div></div></div></div> </div></div><div class="yiv2188304904yqt5564310425" id="yiv2188304904yqtfd27000"> </div></div><div class="yiv2188304904yqt5564310425" id="yiv2188304904yqtfd21075"> </div></div></div></div></div><div class="yiv2188304904yqt5564310425" id="yiv2188304904yqtfd83882">_______________________________________________<br clear="none">Personal_Submersibles mailing list<br clear="none"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" id="yiv2188304904yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1498092335534_4113" ymailto="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank" href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a><br clear="none"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" id="yiv2188304904yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1498092335534_4115" target="_blank" href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a><br clear="none"></div><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div></div> </div> </div> </div></div><div id="yiv2188304904DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br clear="none">
