Hi everyone, I’m going to design and build an RC plane. I tried doing this last summer, but I didn’t succeed because I didn’t know how to use Fusion 360 very well. I won’t need funding for the project since I already have all the necessary components (servos, battery, motors). By the end of this project, the plane will be fully assembled, wired, and completely functional. However, I won’t be able to perform the flight test until Christmas for two reasons: 1) I live in Genoa, which is a “red zone” for drones (RC planes are classified as drones), and there aren’t any suitable flying areas nearby; 2) At Christmas, I’ll be going to the mountains where there is plenty of open space, and I’ll have turned 16, so I’ll have my official drone pilot’s license. Please note: I wrote the content and ideas of this text myself, and I only used AI to translate and refine the English (since my English is still work in progress). Thanks for reading this long description :)

Hi everyone! In this project I’m building a 1:1 replica of the Airbus A320 autopilot panel (also known as the FCU: flight control unit), an airplane used by EasyJet or Wizz Air. I’ll then build other cockpit components. The main difference between the FCUs they sell for the simulator will be: 1) there will be two stereos inside the case so you can hear audio without headphones, which is very convenient for long-haul flights; 2) the ESP 32 will have a website where you can view all its parameters, and the airplane’s parameters; 3) it will be very, very modular, so if a piece breaks I can replace it very quickly. In fact, I’ll use very few screws. The challenges of this project are: 1) the spring-loaded mechanism for the knobs; 2) the PCB, as it’s the first one I’ve ever produced. 3) the connection with the Microsoft Flight Simulator, there would be some software for this purpose but since I want to learn to program I will do it myself, in fact I will probably use an ESP 32
