    I place the sub in the water to determine the amount of weight 1/2oz fore and aft. Place it in plastic to determine water line.

      Mark,
      I see some really cool ideas there! Tell me about the way you wrapped the antenna, how do you do that and range.
      Thank you!
      Peace,
      Tom
      If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

          Hey Tom,

          When i do a range test i'll let you know. I wrappedthe antenna wire it in a circular motion on a peice of packing tape.
          it won't need to go that far because if the Sub's size.
