Hi, I have started to build a platform for my real Cessna 172 cockpitsection.
totalweight including pilot approx 300-350kgs cg will be nearly zero(-/+ 7%) balanced when horizontal)at 30 cm from ground
For now I have a platform thats made out
2 rectangular constructions 1600x1200mm made out steeltubes 50x50x4mm
and connected to each other with a crosslink to have bank and roll-movement(maybe in future I want to have Heave).
I have obtained 2 liniar actuators each with the following data
12volts 20 amp
speed 10mm/sec stroke 300mm 2200newtonmeters.
I can build a controll box with sufficient power for the actuators.
I`m looking for a PLC and motorcontrollers for the above, wich doesn`t cost me an arm and a leg.
Looking for a pricetag off around 400 euro max(800 $).
any ideas?
