Building animatronics in a real 1943 biplane

He All,

I am a Storyteller around a 1943 Boeing Stearman biplane and want to take my shows on aviation events to the next level. The plane should get alive with moving eyes upfront, flight controls moving, being a smoke puffing machine from the flapping engine cowlings. We got the controls, the smoke, the cowlings operational. Now I need help to get the eyes made, to get everthing in a choreography in line with the stories told via pre-recordings and my voice. The plane is called Stearman Old Crow. Who can help? Hans Nordsiek Find me on FB and insta under that name for videos of the latest shows in FL USA

Welcome, interesting idea but what is your question? How to get the best out of this forum

We cannot see your project or what resources are available. You spin your tale of what you have in your mind but that is only the result. We need to know what is there in stimulus to make a decision on what to do and also what hardware is there to implement your idea. What controls the eyes, how does the hardware know where they are pointing and what to point to etc. Post a preliminary annotated schematic as to how you expect this to be put together. Post links to technical information on each of the hardware devices. I do not read frizzing as there would need to be a lot more questions for information that is not there so that would be a waste of time.

Better ask in "Jobs and Paid Consultancy".
