Oh, that thing. Yes, I thought about it. I might just make it a manual deal. I haven't worked that out yet. The newer version of the M113 has a trim vane that has a hump on it. That will be hollow to provide some buoyancy. A giant scale servo might work. A lead screw could do the job also. A lead screw would probably be more preferable to a servo for me.
