So, tonight I had an opportunity to trim my 1/96 Blueback. The only weights I can get locally are Pinewood Derby weights from Hobby Lobby. I put two sets in the bottom and the sub heeled over to port. (see photo) Not enough weights? Any suggestions?
If this is an original SWM Blueback it shouldn't take much to get it to trim out properly. Can you provide a photo of what the inside of the hull looks like? I'm thinking that you may have something within the dive module hard over on the port side.....
First thing I would try is to place some flotation foam along the port side at and below the desired surfaced waterline.
Yes, do this! Make a strip about 1/4"x1/4"x however long and put it on each side in the upper hull, at the waterline. You may have to adjust the thickness for clearance. This acts like an outrigger, but it's on the inside. Jeffy is a wise dude!!
