Emile, the electric DG's tend to be more stable and accurate (newer
technology), but if the intake and exhaust on a vacuum system are both
in the pressure hull, they should cancel out. Still I would only go with
the electric

Check if you buy one from ebay or so that it is a electric one.
The air operated are useless . (overpressure, air consumption)

Dean,
I'm hoping something practical and accurate is available in an inertial
navigation system. What makes that particularly attractive is that it is
self-contained and doesn't depend on any external signal. They were in
use on the F-4's over 40 years ago.

Jim I think navigation would be a good topic for this
group to discuss. I for one am at a loss for a solution.
I so like my gps system on my surface support boat I want
something decent under water.
How does the military do it? Lots of money I am sure
but seems something better than a compass could be
done.
I am leaning towards a tracking beacon on the sub and
get nav directions from support boat.

Hi All,
I am beginning rebuilding Bionic Guppies electronics/electrical
systems. I am planning on again using an aircraft directional gyro
for navigation.
Before I go down this road does anyone have a better/different idea?
Also, Dan Lance, I believe that you were quite pleased with OTS
communication system.
Can you confirm this, and if so provide contact info for a good
supplier.
Best Regards,
Jim K
