[PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: Gamma launch

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi Tim,Once I removed the front weight, it launched as usual, the way you saw it at kootenay Lake.  I do have a IHC single axel truck with 300 hp Cat.  But not very comfortable and it would be tight to maneuver at Premier Lake.  It might be worth it though when I retire, I could put a big sleeper on it and go subbing.  The speed of the sub is about the same, the big difference is the Perry thrusters have a great prop for reversing.  Outstanding in fact, I am very happy with them.  The best part is they look cool, they are very big so they look impressive.I think Alan my be onto the problem, with the stability, but I will enjoy my denial for a day or two ;-)Hank

You always make launching look easy-peasy.  The sub is a heavy RV, go with the diesel truck.  Don't you have a spare highway tractor kicking around?Interesting results on the longitudinal stability. It shows that the wetted length provides a fair amount of keel effect.  Have you noticed any reduction in forward speed due to the change from the conical tail to the hemispherical stern? Probably not since you are using different thrusters.Another note, although there is still a lot of Gamma in that submarine, there is very little Nekton.  Time to start calling it Pronk Gamma.Tim  From: Personal_Submersibles [mailto:personal_submersibles-bounces at psubs.org] On Behalf Of hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles
