I'm sure your lid is fine but testing it the way you have won't tell you much. You'll need to test it when the deck is bonded in and you pressurise the WTC (either with a pump via a scherder valve or by operating the piston tanks.

That's true, One thing what is an scherder valve? please

[Guest]

Its a car tire / bicycle valve. Screwloose has one fitted to back of his WTC here....

I take it i could use that to do my pressure test instead of a tube?

Yep, just don't go crazy and pressurize it too much

FUTABA ROBBE F14 TRANSMITTER 40MHG Is This Any Good For My Sub ????

[Guest]

Thats a popular one, I'd cough up the extra notes and go for the computerised version FC-16 or the new FX-18, if possible.

Hi Anthony.

Have purchased one of these kits to build for a client and have never built a working submarine of any sort so really interested in your progress.

Will endeavour to take photos and post also. Graeme
