Propulsion System and Elevators #1

Now starts the design of the entire back section of the submarine.  This is the first of many posts that will follow the design and construction of the rear.  I'll try to update it weekly, but it'll be mainly based on how much I'm able to get done.

Everything in the pictures below was design to scale so I could get measurements from it and also make sure everything would actually fit and work!  The elevators are going to look a little more curved than they do at the moment, but the basic shape is there.

The rudder bearing system.  One will be above the motor, and another will be below it.

Putting together the grooved wheels that'll take the nylon cables to the back and turn the motor and elevators.
