REVOLUTIONARY REMOTE CONTROLLER FOR RC MODELING
The nature of this posting is to publish a unique, new idea of a Remote Controller for RC Modeling. Just getting started so more to come.

The Sketch:

The Idea:

The idea is to replace the current RC controller synchro's with the latest development in angular sensing capability....the MEM's gyro, while converting the RC box to an ergonimic joystick. This will facilitate the translation of the pilots hand movements to servo signals and directly to the change of aircraft attitude. Roll the stick right.....roll the aircraft right, etc. The pilot will be able to control the aircraft with one hand. A key benefit will be the elimination of analog to digital conversion at the transmitter and some of the resources used for A to D conversion. The MEM's gyro is about the size of a sugar cube and will allow for a reduction in space required for the current synchros/potentiometers. Another key benefit is the similarity of the binary, digital, output from the MEM's gyro with the output from the encoder currently used in RC controllers, thereby making the adaptation and development quick and low in cost. There may be some adaptation to remote control of military drones also.
