    WTC/Sub Driver.
    Hi Guys, The end is now in site. Completed the centre section of the WTC, (ballast tank) I had a lot of problems with fitting the bladder, when I pumped water in it the bladder would not expand as it was to big, so after many experiments I decided to fit a
    party Balloon
    in as without a bladder of some sort there will always be water left in the tank. Fitted a small vent to the top of the tank and used some insulation from electrical wire to use as a hose to connect it to the conning tower. It should still work ok but until the WTC is completely finished I will not know. Also I weighed both end sections, and the aft section is 1lb 14oz. the forward section is 2lb 7oz. so I am thinking about trying to add some weight to the aft section in an attempt to even it up a bit. I don’t know if it is the right thing to do or not. As I have said before this is the first one I have ever built so it is all a big experiment. Only time will tell. Martin.
