Paul,

I like the Batfish mug in the last shot -- just like mine! Very fond memories there, my friend!

Man, you are really goin' to town on this build! Lookin' great! Very proud of you, bub!

Thanks, guys. Yep, that mug is one and the same. Good times.

My mug is on the desk at work.

I am not cool like you guys and have a Batfish mug.
But I do have a pair of matching sub beverage recepticals from the museum in Groton. BD

[PaulC]

Very nice, BD. We got ours at Sun N Fun 2008 which was held aboard the USS Batfish in Muskogee, OK.

[bigdave]

Is that one in the corn field? Lol

[jefftytoo]

More like a city park, but close.

VERY cool mugs on YOUR workbench, BTW, BD. Hmm, reminds me of a certain SubReggata shirt...

Hey Paul,
How goes the build? I did have two enlightening test dives, but was cut short with faulty seal issues. More on this in the 8-Ball forum, in the Feb. Funrun report.

Don't want to pirate this thread but I might as well admit I'm working on a FS1 too. Images of modified parts:

Here is a image of the electronics and the tube they need to be stuffed into courtesy of Rogue Subs and the Carmel Subregatta:

Here are images of the wtc and pumpjets installed:



See it fits! Here is another view:



Think I need a smaller battery or a longer tube:

[PaulC]

Looking good, Bob! What are the dimensions on your WTC?

[bob_eissler]

The tube is 2" od by 6 1/2" in length. I think smaller power wires will make it easier to add a on/off switch.

[bigdave]

Very nice
It will be interesting to see how the Rule pumps work.
Should be a great setup.
You are using three cells correct?
Should be about 7 amps at full power.
Probably 3 A at cruising. BD
