Aluminum tube hull
Posted: Apr 9th, 2017, 5:57 pm
Getting started on my project. Seven inch aluminum hull, length TBD, three bilge pump thrusters, two led lights, two cameras, on board 14 amp hr batt. Have two 6" domes, in case I fubar one, three motors with props. Have made outside thruster housings, just making the prop adapters out of brass. Going out tomorrow for the joystick and "O" ring to suit the front end assembly. Control will be the relay set up described here. I have an Aqua VU micro 5 dvr camera which will be mounted outside the hull, for real time video. Planning a Go Pro knock-off for the inside. One with a remote control to facilitate on-off control after the ft end is secured. Anything mounted on the hull will be tig welded to reduce through hull penetrations. Landing gear will be alum tube, with removable plugs for weight insertion. Nothing on paper, just stuff randomly bouncing around in my head, although a sketch to remember dimensions helps.
There's a wealth of info here, read a lot, learned a little or was that read a little and learned a lot? Anyway, nice to be here, pics done with photobucket?
