To all,

I have been able to flight my project using a·12 channel transmitter,· but I still can't flight it with my BS2P or BS2E, maybe two stamps mite work.·The main problem is Stability in the air, the project is an oval shape (about·5 feet·in length)·with two electic motors·& two speed controllers(using PULSOUT).· the speed controllers are mostly at half speed·to·get the thing moving. (Verical take off)

Now I have·two pairs of servos(using POLLOUT/IN with PULSOUT), one pair control the front motor·and·the other the·rear motor.·· The project has two balls if you like shape like this·(·- ) the - is the prop.··with·a·pair for servos·on each ball·to·control the ball LEFT and RIGHT also FORWARDS and BACK like:
· (·················· )
··( >(-)···· >(-)··)
··(··· ^········^·· )

verical slot in both sides····· =
to prove movement?············· "

The pollout\in command with a IF this THEN·that·only lets me go·left·and back to center or right and back to the center·how do·I·use both?

I used·paired coil springs to·take up the·strain in forward/back·vs left/right·movement. When I flight it I can see the correction needed but I have been unable to even model·a pair of·servos on my work bench using the stamp to control it.· Tilt left & right·/ forward & backward.··The idea is to·keep·the pair of servos holding the motor (or even the ball on it own)·in the verical state.

pls anyone have ideas

    I have decided to use a 16F877A to control the servo's and the two motors, it has worked Ok for now, but I'll see if the project passes more tests
