It didn't sink!
Test #1 was conclusive. Despite her 8 lbs, the "Alexandra" did not sink in the tub.
There wasa slight problem of balance, but repositioning the receiver battery solved it.
Check it out: beautiful!!!
Two years after...
I can't believe two years have passed since I started on this project...
Good news is that the ship is finally ready.
Next steps are to:
1- do a flotation test in the tub (hey, if the whole thing is going to sink, better be in my bathroom than in the pond)
2- do a test of the steam engine on dry land
3- if 1 and 2 are Ok, go for it!
I'm a bit anxious because the whole thing is damn heavy!
I'll weight it and report pictures soon
