So it looks like you built your own RC gear to control the plane. Given the IMU, do you or will you have an autopilot mode too?
Yes, I plan on incorporating different levels of automated control in the future. Right now, I'm working on a pitch and roll limiting function. This will largely keep an inexperienced pilot from accidentally crashing the plane. After I validate that feature, I want to do a PID autopilot for a roll and altitude hold. In the end, I want to be able to make the plane completely autonomous (press a button and it takes off, flies GPS waypoints, and then lands completely on its own).
