hello,
i want receive G force of R/Cplane (pitch and roll, yaw not really necessary) in ground
My simple idea: connect a analogic 3 accelerometers (http://www.dimensionengineering.com/DE-ACCM3D.htm
at 3 of 4 channel low cost futaba transmitter (40 or 72mhz), who is placed in the plane.(without plastic, battery....)
the range of input voltage is 0 to 5volts in the transmitter.
333mV/g sensitivity at 3.3V (may be amplification of signal is needed)
Gforce will be indicate by 2 or 3 servos in the ground.

Is it a light solution for an crazy experimentation?.

do you have personnal experience or commercial system for my question.
best regards :rolleyes:

Try Eagletree Systems ... they have a G-Force meter already with a wireless dashboard system that is pretty slick. You can get real-time g-forces; the cost is a bit high for just the one sensor, but it might be what you're looking for, who knows.

thank dan, but i would like reveive the measurment with analogic signal, like servos on the ground, it's why for i tnink for a transmitter/accelerometer hack.
