[PSUBS-MAILIST] Esmae test

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Thanks Brian,
you are getting there!
The shape of it is looking a lot better. 
I think I have previously suggested that you take a number of floats like 20 litre
containers that have handles on them for tethering, & any type of weight.
That way you can sort out exactly what weight & buoyancy you need &
where you need it on your next outing.
Cheers Alan

Seems very stable now, so that is a good thing.  Also added buoyancy pods to the sides and up front underneath my shell.   Still not enough buoyancy up front, had a friend try and pull up the nose with a rope to determine just how much will be needed, but he was unable to pull the nose up so probably more that 200 lbs of lift will be needed, as well as any weight I can shed .
