A couple of weeks ago I managed to get some time (at a SHDC meet) to hack together some bit-banging code on a PIC to control a RC servo. This crude code, in theory, will allow me to control the servos for the landing gear, nacelle steering and of course the EDF thrust.
I had a little time over Christmas to discover my planned landing gear redesign was halted by my inability to mill a tidy slot in some aluminium channel with my tiny little lathe/mill combo. I need to come up with a simpler mechanism, get the gear done and put some kind of external skin on the airframe, then I can get to the control system!
