I would use a simulator to train to the motion control first, also have a switch like I have for emergency switch to normal control hi jay, I think it will be too sensible and will take a while to get used to.

And possibly use the x-axis for servo jack (to rise my 24 scale 1965 Pontiac GTO Hurst edition). I will need a switch to enable/disable the jack and a separate switch enable/disable the steering tilt control (z-axis). Is this the board you suggested? http://gadgetgangster.com/find-a-project/56?projectnum=213 or would that be to much? I don't think it will fit in my 8303 Jaguar.

I have my tx working in both axis from the accelerometer, the only thing is I want to have one axis follow the side to side rotation of my head (fpv style) instead of tilting F to B and L to R. Any suggestions? We could take this to RC Groups if you'd like. Thanks again, Evan Starlino, great success!
