Wow ! went extremely well ! This time I felt confident enough to put it in at the launch ramp, sub very level upon floating it off the trailer. I had this giant flotation buoy on the front since I wasn't quite sure what to expect ! ( I've been surprised before) . Everything seemed fine so I untied the big buoy and let the sub sit naturally. It sat very level and nice! Submerged nicely and by the time all the air was expelled I was down. The first initial test was with the big buoy on the front , then untied the buoy and tried again . I had a bit of a list going down that got me a bit spooked so I came back up. But things are looking really good . I probably could have transitioned through that list and gone down all the way but decided to come back up. What I want to do is add a bit more ballast lead and then try again. It's amazing what chopping off 6 feet off the front of your sub will do !! </font></font></div><div><font size="2"><font face="Arial, sans-serif"><br></font></font></div><div><font size="2"><font face="Arial, sans-serif">Sorry no video but I do have a few stills that I will try to get up.
