I’m working on using the Raspberry Pi as a remote control replacement. The “chain of command” goes as follows:

As the last weeks were rather busy and I was stuck with a bad cough, I’m still not completely finished with the Easy Star II. As the Raspberry Pi won’t fit completely into the fuselage, I’ll have to adapt the canopy for it:
