Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Rudder control



Hi Doug. I've often considered using oil compensation. I know it's popular with the guys and the "big outfits" like Alvin etc. use oil. I may end up using that as compensation after all. I will be finishing the sub, testing, and learning how to operate it for a while yet, so that decision can be put off for a while. I think a type of vegetable oil is used most commonly. Got any info on that? I'll go down and talk to the guys at the MBARI research station and see what they use. The have ROV's that go down to at least 4000fsw and it's real close to here. They are pretty friendly too. Sure would be nice to use their shop! Lots of cool stuff going on there.
