He All,


I am a Storyteller around a 1943 Boeing Stearman biplane and want to take my shows on aviation events to the next level. The plane should get alive with moving eyes upfront, flight controls moving, being a smoke puffing machine from the flapping engine cowlings. We got the controls, the smoke, the cowlings operational. Now I need help to get the eyes made, to get everthing in a choreography in line with the stories told via pre-recordings and my voice. The plane is called Stearman Old Crow. Who can help? Hans Nordsiek Find me on FB and insta under that name for videos of the latest shows in FL USA

How big are the "eyes" and what electrical voltages are you working with? Perhaps a microcontroller is what you are looking for. You should post this in the Arduino group or RC group.

He Steve,


TNX! Will do that in those groups


The eye balls have a diameter of about 3 inch / 7,5 cm. The whole eye will be 6 by 4 inch, It works with LIPO RC batteries, voltage anywhere up to 20 Volts. We are at the start of this project and it is highly doable, just need help from experts to manufacture those eyes and to get a central controller plus the software to steer the eyes, the audio, the smoke and the moving parts. Here you get an idea how far we are now:

I couldn't help with the whole project but I can draw things up in CAD with a few more details. Private message me if you are interested.
