I recently found some interesting articles concerning AIR Glide S and it's inertial platform in particular. Enjoy:

Latter one has some heavy math in it, but worth reading anyway (incl. references for further study). They measured AIR Glide ISU accuracy with GPS signal switched off. Position error was 600 meter after 30 mins flight. Not bad.


Without (yet) reading those documents, that is amazing. It suggests that the accuracy of the accelerometers is on average within 0.00004 of a G.
