Anybody have plans for a Hornet Landing Gear and Hook Mechanism?

Just as the title says. Wondering if anyone has plans for the Landing Gear mechanism and Hook. If it includes electronics, great.

I found this on 'tinterweb.... I used the design for my pit and it works great for both gear and hook...

I also only used one microswitch and then changed the LUA code in the joystick.lua file. (it the switch is pressed then gear/hook is up, if not pressed the gear/hook is down....)

I’m working on a simpler design that’ll hopefully be done in the next week or so. When it’s done, I’ll post up pics.

It should be fairly simple. The parts were around $100 from McMaster Carr but I can build both with that $100.

The only other expense was a bodnar board that I’m still waiting on.
