Well i'm sure my first few attempts are going to do exactly the opposite, will you be my test pilot LOL?
The code for stopping it from flying would be if you r going down too fast and at certain altitude the microcontroller would take control automatically and take it to a higher level.
Auto pilot and auto landing systems would be also fun to try.
Next step would be to program the microcontroller to make the plane do fancy aerobatics, wonder if they allow this sort of thing in competitions?
maybe they dont need to know about microcontrollers onboard LOL.
Does anyone know sources or how to build cheap altimeters for model aeroplanes, also for line of sight digital trancievers ?
thanx
