Beside my HAM radio stuff I also fly model helicopters.
I own three electric helicopters two of them are 6ch collective pitch and the smallest Walkera CB100 is an fixed pitch 4ch helicopter.
My favourite helicopter is my Align Trex model 450s equipped with an logitec LTG-2100T gyro.

Beside helicopters I also have flown fixed wing model aircraft, my model was a war bird Corsair F4U also electric powered.

Model N-gauge trains:
Model trains have also my interest, I’m still in the process of collecting points and tracks. However I have build a tiny scenery for Xmas.. a one track rail. Small mountain with a motion-sensor. This sensor trigger a Arduino micro controller setting the train motion in different way’s.

Arduino micro controllers:
Writing C++ software is fun to do, I own several Admega micro controllers. I have owned the Arduino uno v3 and have the Arduino Mega and several Arduino Nano’s in use. The Uno’s are extremely handy while controlling my model N-gauge trains. On the Arduino Mega I have written a program to control a track with four points and two stop signs, the locomotive speed is also controlled by the Mega using PWM (Pulse With Modulation)
