    First Shakedown.

    I had the Bluegill (Gato) out for her first shakedown cruse Last night. I am quite happy so far. Although the trim was off she performed without a hitch. Ran for an hour or so and still had battery left. No leaks, ballast system worked fine, and nice speed on the power system. I have found that I will need more keel weight to keep her upright. BTW- She turns quiet well too. Just needs a bit more trimming. BD.

    Sorry for the bad photos!

        His WTC's never leak if you build them the way he tells you too. I've built them all except this one. Turn key as usual Dave.

        Good job!
