Default Automatic Aircraft Stabilization

Hi all,

I would like to make a project in which I would like to create a software that makes the aircraft fly level when the pilot loose orientation? The module will be triggered once the pilot returns the sticks to neutral.

Attached you can find a simple diagram that describes what I have in mind. It shows that I would like to pass the control of the right stick (in mode 2 TX) to the Level Control Box which will not make any changes on the signals given from the receiver, when when the stick is on neutral position it will be triggered and make the necessary adjustment on the Aileron and the Elevator to make the model fly level.

Regarding the Sensor unit I intend to install two small cameras sensors (one looking forward and another to one of the sides of the aircraft) that look at the horizon and through a software function will return the roll / pitch angles of the aircraft.

What is your feedback about this issue?
Will it be easy to read the signals that are produced by the receiver and fed to the servos?
