Frame Flotation Test

Post by ERIEWRECKDIVER »

Just had a very successful flotation test of my ROV Frame. Still waiting for my props.

Nice! Looks like you are building the Seafox Rov. I hope the props come soon!

I just noticed your using electrical tape to hold it together, I would use zip ties instead because it is more permanent. With the electrical tape you will eventually have to replace it as it falls off which could cause problems.

Yea I am using zip ties. In fact I will epoxy everything in place when I am done. But for now the electrical tape keeps everything in place.
