    Is that one long bladder

    Is that one long bladder or two Dave? Didn't see the longer ones on the Goldmine site.

    Looks great Dave.

      Thanks Steve, It is one

      Thanks Steve, It is one large bladder. The bladder holds more air than the WTC can provide, so it will never over inflate. Also it easily conforms to the internal freespace provided. Here is a different photo. Dave.

        it appears your hull to your sub fits together much better than mine, the hull on mine is NOT even from the top to bottom and it looks like there will be some gaps but I am try
        when I have time, the good news is I might be switching out of this crazy schedule I've been working for the past three months! more time for projects.

              I have the interlock installed and working. Only one screw holds the two halfs together. No photos yet, I hope to have some soon. Dave.

                Dave

                I'm hoping this weekend I et a chance to really work on my Seawolf, I'm going to try and do the following to my "Wolf"
                which is going to look very close to my WTC in my Uboat.
                Front bow planes and rudder control will be done with servos in the wet, motor drive direct drive will also in in the wet.
                since my ESC is water proof it also might be in the wet,only the reciever and a ton of batteries will be dry.

                I will use D size batteries(4500mahr)so I can have pleanty of run time and of course a took down the road for maybe a ballast tank, which I like the idea of but would love to know what would be the best way to get one working or a cheap one to buy. Well let me know if you think the idea sounds radical or not but if it works for my Uboat I hope to be a interesting start for Seawolf.

                What size WTC dia are you using?

                  Here are two photos of the interlock. One shows the inside and one shows the outside. There has been no filling or sanding of the seam yet.
                  Mark, I use 2.75 and 1.75" tubing in my WTC. Dave.

                            Hey Gantu

                            The boat looks good

                            Hey Gantu

                            The boat looks good but I notice a slight problem on the pumpjet unit, you have the stock prop that comes with the kit. Unfortunately don't think you will get very far with that. What are you going to do about the prop??

                            I contacted Simon at the Prop Shop about what options they might have available for the propulsor unit. I will post the reply..

                                Hey Dave,

                                Hey Dave,

                                Welcome back. It will be awhile before I get to mine but I planning on using the Kilo WTC ot trying to anyway. Got to get my 598 done first. Not to mention I re fitting my tyoe 7 with your new WTC.

                                I think the best thing to do guys is make your own props as Dave did. shouldn't be too hard.

                                Looking good Dave. Keep going.
