[PSUBS-MAILIST] 8 window K350 CT

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

James,Agreed, change the front port to the biggest dome your bank account will allow.  I disagree with building with four ports in the CT, I could see 6 ports being okay with the ports bunched up as close as the engineers allow towards the front.  The pilot might also want a nice view of the treasure chest, or mermaid swimming by.;-)Pete, next time there is a convention in the west, be sure to come and I will take you for a spin in Gamma and you can pilot the sub and see for yourself.  You can check out a K350 or already have I suspect, then decide if the work and cost is worth it.  Hank

 I wouldn't bother.  Just make it with the normal 4.  Hank may
disagree, but I find the view is fine from 4.  Plus you spend most
time looking out the front anyway.

More ports to make.
Awkward to weld in.
More chance of distortion on tower.

I would change the 15" port at the front to a big dome though.  :)

James
