Abstract

Disclosed is a method of control and stabilisation of aircraft particularly, but not exclusively, to control of miniature aircraft such as model or toy aircraft (102). In one aspect pitch and roll may be controlled by a simple method of signalling to or from a reference location orbeacon (104,106) in a number of different ways. Both height and lateral position may be controlled. In a further aspect, polarised light may be used to determine the relative rotation of the aircraft. Additionally, preferred aircraft and associated features are disclosed.
