I reached 50 feet on the second dive and my employee took it out for a 20 foot dive. <br>The hatch was leaking on the first dive until I got down to 20 feet or so. Never leaked after that. No other leaks at all.<br>ACQ's are amazing and clear as a bell. I hit the bottom a bunch of times until I figured it out. <br>The rudder is
very effective and the sub is quite speedy going forward and poor in reverse. Acceleration is modest but it gets going quite well.<br>The launch cart worked quite well but was a bit problematic because it floats :-) <br>I have a small noise to trace from the magnetic drive coupler area.<br>All in all a success <br>Hank <br>_______________________________________________<br>Personal_Submersibles mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org" href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a><br><a href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles" target="_blank">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
