Automatic Wing Leveling
I vaguely recollect reading years ago about a wing leveling technique for model airplanes that corrected airframe roll attitude by measuring the differential output of earth gravity sensors in each wing tip. Can anyone describe such a system suitable for model aircraft? Thanks, WDA...- ballensr

Wing Leveling Using Earth Magnetism
Dacades ago I read about experiments using the Earth's magnetic field to keep the wings level on a high altitude gas powered model airplane. It would seem to have application to today's UAVs our military is using in the Middle East. Does anyone have knowledge on how to mechanize such a system...- ballensr
