Hello Ralph. Went to post then advanced. Wrote in title and in message box but only icons I am getting are the ones above my keyboard eg gif etc. No insert image.
No insert image or other tools displaying by my message box or title box. Thought I had found it but no luck

Okay, I missed this earlier.
I don't use the advanced method, I use direct links to my images on my web site.

Now what I missed.
On the quick reply screen the same insert icon is there.
In the right icon box there is a quote balloon, then a video icon and the picture icon.
The picture icon is the insert image icon. (3rd from right)

I looks like a square with the center of each side pulled in a little.

Hello Ralph thanks for your help, the reason it was not working was because i was trying to do it from my phone. I thought i would share some pics of my sub. I am a new to this hobby and all the ideas on this forum has helped me get this far. The wtc is a low pressured water pump system. 12v with a 6v solenoid valve wired to a 10 amp esc, this runs from a 2s lipo. 2x servos one for rudder and the other one will be linked to both set off dive planes with a auto leveler when i find one. Fail safe will be linked to the pump.

WTC homemade made from epoxy resin. u cup seals 4x10x4 reversed pointing in to tube. pushrods use two o rings each, one internal and one external as a precaution. I used a slightly smaller drill bit for the O rings to keep a bit more pressure on the rods. all of the seals use RTV sealant

WTC made from epoxy resin. have learnt a lot by building this myself. The WTC uses 2x 180 motors to a 4mm shaft. wtc has been bath tested up and down in the bath over a two hour period with no leaks at present. i am currently in the process of working back on the main hull. Thanks for all your posts.

Photo showing the M3 stainless steel thread. this is used to keep the end caps on. there is an o ring on the inside and one on the outside which goes on before the thumb screw. Both o rings have a drilled seat.

Excellent! That is amazing work you have there!
Look forward to sea trials!

Thank you. Can anyone tell me we're I could get an auto leveller or recommend one. Something that is not over expensive
