Good for flying any single engine piston powered plane though. This thing is very easy to make: Just print everything, add three slider pots, wire them to an RJ45 socket and plug it into a COL slot of Simchair MKIII controller (or use your own controller). As this is unlikely to be used for RC flying, and due to knobs placement in a real 182, this is intended to be mounted on the desk. You will need: Six M3x25mm screws and two M3 nuts Three SL-4515G slider potentiometers or similar ones (https://static.chipdip.ru/lib/996/DOC000996699.pdf) Red, blue, and black nail polish (optional) An 8p8c socket A regular Ethernet cable (if used with simchair MKIII controller) Superglue (a drop put under a potentiometer will fix it in place) A Simchair MKIII controller (or another controller) ---- UPDATE 19.05.2018 I2C Upgrade! Connect an Arduino Pro Mini as follows: Pin 10 to pots +5v GND to pots GND A0 to throttle pot A1 to prop pot A2 to mixture pot RAW to RJ45 socket pin 1 (orange-white wire on the plug) GND to socket pin 2 (orange-white wire on the plug) SCL to socket pin 3 (green-white pin on the plug) SDA to socket pin 4 (blue wire on the plug) Flash the ino file to the board and get three ten-bit axes for your single-prop GA plane!
