<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">Rick,<BR><BR>I have an
accurate CAD model of a stock 350 hull and pods with assigned material
densities. The software can make short work of determining changes in the
longitudinal CG and what effects shifting the pods have. We would have to
agree on a vertical datum, say the surface Edge of a hemihead for example.
<BR><BR>As it lays now, the CG is right under the pilots butt, but it
looks like George did not account accurately for the changes in buoyancy
once launched. The trick would be trying to guess how far back to shift
the CG. I can do this for you on my next group of days off if you'd
like.<BR><BR>However, I like James idea of external movable weights as a
better solution because you still have this 400 lb light condition to

attached my pods yet to the pressure hull and after hearing about the aft
positive buoyancy issue from a number of K-350 owner/builders I am now
contemplating moving my pods aft one frame. I have all ready installed my
drop weight threw hulls so I would have to extend the cross bar forward
that goes between the pods for that plus not having any engineering
experience, it would purely be a guess on what it would do to the trim. I
doubt it would have the reverse effect and transfer the buoyancy problem
to the front but not sure. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>

float test, but everything worked fine, so i gave it a go.
Unfortunately i didnt have enough lead. I added 90KG (198lb) of
lead, but it still wouldnt go down. What i didnt mention on the
website was that i was forced to stop testing because the harbour
master came along to say that they had had an anonymous phone call
from some bloody do-gooder who pointed out that we were using the
comercial area of the harbour and didnt have a proper comercial dive
team, which is officially a legal requirement. So even though i
had full permission from the harbour, i was forced to stop on a
technicality. They think it was some missery that has the hump
on with harbour and just wanted to be awkward. Shame because I
was about to load a pile of anchor chain into the boat to get me more
weight.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>

seem to be very light at the back and i kept squirting air into the
forward tank to level it out. Thinking about it, i suspect that
the forward tank was settling into the correct position and it was the
aft tank that was riding high. Just need to get some weight at
the back. I had a slight list to port as well which i've no idea
where that came from. Again i will trim that
up.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>

was really pleased with how it went on my first day. Im meeting
my divers tonight who took a load of underwater pics apparently, so i
will see how they look later. Might put some on the web if they
are any good.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>
