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,

Wouldn't it be simpler to fit your model with a proper dihedral? Just wondering. Cheers.

Try something called FMA direct co-pilot which is basically an earth infrared sensor which can detect the level horizon as earth is always warmer.

model aviation may 2002 pg 78 had a writeup on and they were very enthusiastic about it.
