Actuating a full size airplane

All the existing wiring and motors were gutted in the name of making it lighter for the road race. So now we are adding in the fun little stuff to show off. I'm putting all the instrument panels (with factory gauges, switches, fake radio dials, and lighting). The motors that used to drive the flaps are gone, but the cable pulleys are still there, so I can tie into those and maybe replace the steel cable if necessary.

I'm researching reversible 24v motors to see if it's feasible. Since the flaps will operate in unison, I might be able to use a single motor.

I'm still trying to decide if i should use Arduino and relays to drive the motor and indicators or just go "old school".
