Ahh, good idea. Boat builders use fir, too. If they insist on know what I'm doing I'll say it's a really big model. Built about the same and it will contain servos anyway ;) Speaking of that, I'd like an extremely basic autopilot, mostly just a wing leveler and altitude hold. I have schematics and source code for the altitude half of it, but couldn't find anything for the leveler. But since I'm going to use RC servos for the trim tabs, why not just use an RC gyro? I'll have to dig around and find out exactly how the helicopter heading lock servos work vs. normal gyros, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. -- Steve N205FT mystic...@swbell.net He who seeks will find, and he who knocks will be let in.
