Sub Stuff

An ongoing presentation of mine and my cousin's work as we build our R/C subs.

My cousin Dave Tanguay has been in this hobby for some time. He talked me into building a sub after I went to my first sub regatta in 2002. (I missed the ones at the Groton Sub Base, dang.) He has all ready made mistakes and learned how to correct them. Me, well, I'm always making mistakes. In these page I hope to document some of the mistake and show solutions and ideas.

Poor Mans Graphic Drawer - Don't have hundreds of dollars to by WYSIWYG software. This is a cheat I used to use in the '80s before AutoCAD and Visio and such programs were invented.
