![]() ![]() The Graupner Shark that I own has only forward plains and manuevers like a dream got to get ya one! ![]() No you are incorrect ,the Octura ZX has only bow plains and its 4 batteries are spread out in the hull or the weight is spread out ,also in water a sub can have a very forward cg or forward bateries and as long as its counter ballanced with foam the cg can be shifted but only in water can this happen.Once in motion the cg changes again in turns and dives. They'll work just fine IF MOUNTED IN THE STERN. Will oversized bow planes work? Yes, but certainly not as well as appropriately sized stern planes.įor the same reason, bow thrusters WILL NOT WORK when you're trying to make your boat turn better while underway. For all intents and purposes, the pivot point is the BOW ITSELF and NOT the center of gravity or center of the boat. The pivot point is actually WAAAYYY ahead of the center of the boat. Anybody ever wonder why? I'll repeat - ALL BOATS STEER BEST BY MOVING THE STERN TO POINT THE BOW IN WHICHEVER DIRECTION YOU WANT TO GO. Has anybody noticed how many full size submarines only have stern planes? Or "disappearing" bow planes? Albacore was originally built with bow planes which were removed fairly early in her career and never replaced. This applies to rudders for turning as well as dive planes for depth change. ALL BOATS STEER BEST BY MOVING THE STERN TO POINT THE BOW IN WHICHEVER DIRECTION YOU WANT TO GO. Has anybody ever noticed that 99.9999% of all boats, surface as well as sub surface, ALL have their rudders in the stern? There's a reason for this and this is something that was learned the first time 2 guys ever rode a log using branches for paddles. I think it might be time for a little "How a boat is controlled 101".
