RC Differential Steering Device

This is a differential steering device I made for RC planes that uses 2 servo/ESC-motor testers from Hobby City. http://hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=8373
I also used a UBEC from Heads Up RC http://www.headsuprc.com/servlet/the-1411/UBEC-3-Amp-/Detail
This differential steering "machine" works great and can be used with any 3 channel (or more) TX; no computer control transmitter is necessary, but with one, you get even more adjustment to suit your style of flying. It could also be used for RC air boats. In the video you'll notice I used three separate batteries; you could use just one large battery, I just did it this way for testing convenience.

Hi nice concept.. it seems like this could easily be done with a microcontroller and would result in something more precise and small. Have you tried the Arduino controller: its makes projects like this very easy. cheers

@madpco I definitely agree! LOL This was an experiment to see if I could make a non-linear device.

coool thnx captain

[parrotpilot]

@TheHackereye No problemo.

are u a pirat!?

[parrotpilot]

@acika72 No, Rrrrrr you? HAHA

cool Captain Hook

[MegaCoolshot]

That's really smart

[zeeek1]

Very cool. This would be interesting to try in a twin catamaran boat!

you can make a second one and cross them together and you have a quadrocopter... :-))))))

Or you have done that allready? because as i see this clip is old...
