Special Sneak-Peek, Initial Work on a SubDriver for the Moebius 39" SEAVIEW kit

A Report to the Cabal:

Just a few pretty pictures to show off last nights and this morning work to build up a prototype Moebius SEAVIEW SubDriver. This particular unit will permit conversion of that static display kit into a practical r/c submarine. Most of the SubDriver is derived from engineering and tooling developed for the KILO SubDriver unit recently discussed. The major work here was creation of a new motor bulkhead master (to accommodate the two motors) and a lengthened cylinder (final length TBD) to produce the massive researve buoyancy needed to get this submarine as high off the surface as possible when in surface trim (the SEAVIEW had a ridiculously high freeboard -- made for good surface running shots, but is entirely impractical).

Anyway ... here are the pretty pictures. Feel free to pass them around.
