Updates from the Drydocks 04-26-2021
A very eventful last few days!
Some of you may have followed my YouTube postings and you will have seen that on on Friday for the 1st time in 20 years, I ended up losing a sub in the pond, unable to retrieve it with my own resources. After 48 hours underwater in 10ft of water, and after employing the services of a professional diver, the boat was successfully recovered, none the worse for wear. Check out the video here:
Evaluation and repair of the cylinder took place yesterday, and aside from requiring a new battery, everything seemed to be in fine operational condition.
Redoutable static build
Some of you will be familiar with the 3-D files that I offer for the French redoubtable class submarine. That builds into a really interesting boat and it is a great size. I was approached by approached by a museum in Greece to build a copy of this for their display, and I have Jason working on assembling the pieces and sanding the hole down right now. Should be finished up in the next few days.
Portapower!
Having just upgraded my variable power supply, I now have my old one available if anyone is interested in it. These are great to keep on your bench to test any number of things without having to find a suitable battery. It has selectable voltage outputs from 3 through 12 V at 2 amps. $40 for anyone that wants to grab one for themselves . Let me know and I will hook you up!
Sjoormen Is now spoken for and I will be quickly running through it over the next day or two to ensure that it is in tip top shape prior to shipping.
