I finished my yoke steering mechanism and put some signature design work being a one of a kind . Today made a mounting out of a block of aluminum and bolted it to the hull with many pivots to this craft that makes it go flip flap . X Y Z in aerospace technology which says X is forward and reverse , Y is left and right and Z is up and down . Now will make the aileron flap so the Z can be in a effect . Next will be the Y indeed , rudder to the left and to the right and with some push rods it will be complete . Twenty five inches in diameter is the size of this beast , my diver craft number three and four is coming soon to be !

I began the day 4 in the morning , read the news and made a pot of coffee . Six thirty or so headed out the door to industrial metals store with a list of materials to complete these flip flaps on this big diver craft . I have finished the ailrons and working hard to make the pintle and gudgeon from a piece of 5 inch aluminum I beam . My three D mind helps with the design and cut it out to have it welded which will be tomorrow in fact . Only dream of diving ! Rumdumb
