| The Gas system comprises a copper Gas reservoir with a safety tube connecting to the blow/vent mechanism. This is operated by the installed servo. The vent valve is the small rectangular item – top center. Here (right) is the rear motor housing with ESC, servos, motors, gearbox, Dog-bone couplers, seals, pushrods, and even the antenna – all installed! The system has the Snort Low Pressure Blower outlets installed. They are blanked off with the looped tube. |

All you have to do is drop in the Radio Receiver of your choice, an ADF pitch Controller with ballast blow failsafe, LiPo batteries and a Snort Low Pressure Blower and you are ready to go on patrol, using the Snort system for most diving, and the Gas Ballast system for deep dives. The Snort system will allow you to run with virtually no consumption of gas, relegating its use for emergencies only.
More experienced model builders can easily convert the ballast system to a bladder system such as RCABS if they require. |
