I already do that. It's a big hit at the shows and wished I had found a way to do it before. I kind of had to figure it out on my own to make it work. I use a micro servo, film cartridge and a servo reverser and hooked it all up to my rudder channel.


Look at the end of the video you can see the pilot bust in action:

In this video you can see I did the same thing for my Custom GP Fokker Dr1. I had used a E-flite micro servo for a while and last summer it burnt out on me, don't know why. So I bought a Futaba Micro Servo, dug out the old servo and used the Futaba Servo in its place. I haven't had a problem since. In this video my RX battery was getting low on voltage, that's why it was acting a little sluggish.
