Hi all,
I want to use light sensors to control the movement of a model aircraft,
So if the aircraft dorps a wing, one light sensor will be darker since
it would be pointing to the ground, What sort of light sensors should I
used and will I use the RCtime command. I will then be checking to see
is a value in a certain range, if it is send out and appropiate pulse
to the servos
Thanks for any help in advance

Why re-invent the wheel? Futaba has a very cheap inclinometer that "sort
of" works with this reasoning, but it has its own light source. Look on
http://www.towerhobbies.com for the Futaba attitude stablizer, and work on
hooking that one up. It should be spiffy.
