Of course ... I, er ... my wife just got a new camera (non-digital) and

I'm planning to use an adaptation of this design for my model.
I also plan on motorizing the model, though, I fear that it might
overpower
a single motor. What would be really nice, would be to have a switch that
would sweep a voltage over a range ...
+ ...... 0 ...... - (so full + would be +9 volts, 0 would be 0 volts
(duh) and
- would be -9 volts. And in halfway between + and 0 would be +4.5 volts,
etc. That way you could have a tail rotor that would have a fixed pitch,
and
vary the voltage to control your yaw)
