My housings measure six feet long by fourteen inches I can not calculate how much weight I need to make these negative buoyancy I have three leisure batteries in each housing plus one hundred and fifty pound of lead on top. this does not counteract the upforce which each housing is subjecting my sub to. I am lost as to how I can over come my problem as she is determined to roll . can some one help me please.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">regards <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Graham<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Pictures of Casper 2 being built are on the site if you need to look at what I have built.<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>Personal_Submersibles mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a></span><br><span><a href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a></span><br></div></blockquote></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>Personal_Submersibles mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a></span><br><span><a href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a></span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
