Default RE: 2 servos, 2 movements, 1 channel

GJ,

I want to make this as simple as possible so I thought of using a proportional 2 position switch. The idea is that I throw the switch and do not have to think of anything else, doors will open and skydivers/bombs will be released in sequence. When I flip the switch back release mechanism will move in reverse and doors will close.

I have thought of the follwing scenario:

Transmitter switch in closed position
• Bay doors closed
• Release mechanism closed
• Micro-switch 1 open feeding power to servo 1
• Micro-switch 2 closed feeding power to servo 1

Transmitter switch is moved to the open position
• Servo 1 moves until doors are fully opened
• Micro-switch 1 is closed cutting power to servo 1 and feeding servo 2
• Servo 2 starts moving
• Micro-switch 2 is opened cutting power to servo 1
• All skydivers/bombs released

Transmitter switch is moved to the closed position
• Servo 2 moves back
• Micro-switch 2 is closed cutting power to servo 2 and feeding servo 1
• Servo 1 starts moving
• Micro-switch 1 is opened cutting power to servo 2
• Bay doors are closed

Note: all power comes from a single channel.
