RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] RE: payload

["Joseph Perkel" <joeperkel@hotmail.com>]

Kory,

I've thought about that as well, and it would be ideal on a larger sub.

The K-350, has a relatively tiny VBT which is about 1 cubic foot of volume. 
Trouble with getting bigger, is that the volume displaced, as this is 
outside, would start to hurt...where too make it up is the bad 
question....lead....catch 22. Remember, this is a really tiny little sub.

Also, as for trim, I wont be doing tanks, more pipes, valves, transfer 
pump...etc. I will be doing an observers "seat tray" that will roll along 
the centerline and lock in position where you want it. The lead shot bags 
that I will have to carry solo, will go on this tray.

Joe
