Brian,
I get confused about what you call front & back. I think you were
Transiting on the surface in one direction & diving in another.
Is the occupancy sphere being called the front?

It was hard to get a good reading on what was happening because I couldn't tell if the front straps were supporting the front of the sub.  I think they were though, I did a test where I tried to bring the nose up by it self and I couldn't do it , so that tells me that the nose is still a bit heavy.    I think I want to get one of those fiberglass hp tanks that Hank was talking about.
