Monday I will sink it in the quarry, and hopefully it comes up lol
Excuse the blue tape covering the lights and camera.
I will be adding more color after the test dive.

Re: X wing ROV
Mine was just a bit large for the tub I had to build a wooden frame and line it with a tarp and fill it. I thought it was dialed in but I guess I should've stopped with out adding the extra. I'm pretty pleased that everything else went ok, couldn't see anything underwater really until it was sitting...

Re: X wing ROV
Ok it didn't make it to the great lakes with me due to space.
I did sink it in the quarry on the property where I work, and sink is the right choice of words it sank like a stone. Guess I better lighten it up. Maybe the guy behind me will allow me to use his pool for testing.

Re: X wing ROV
Just need 4 more pounds and it'll be perfectly weighted, only took 13 lb to sink it that's a lot of washer the 2 bottom runners will be full lol
Planning a trip up to northern Michigan in a couple weeks, have a cabin rented on the lake I think that'll be the perfect place to officially lake test it.

Re: X wing ROV
It's in the water controls are all good directionally but needs more weight to go down for sure, so off to the hardware store for more washers.
I sprung a leek in my pool lol

Re: X wing ROV
Now to see if it floats and sinks.
Had to build my own tub big enough to test it.

Re: Thrusters on Ebay
I've seen them everywhere, curious to see how they work. Could be replacements or in addition to what I have now.

Re: IR glare
I was thinking I'd have to black out the ir.
With the lights on the ir shuts off but I don't know how it'll react under water. I think my lights will be plenty bright enough
