    Speaker cabinet switcher

    I was thinking the same thing about a 3 way switch. but you could use a few push on push off switches, this will allow you to use more than 1 cabinet at a time.

    I need a motor setup so that it will turn ~1lb of material once every 24 hours

    voltage may not be an issue for you, but if we give you a circuit based on 24volts that uses 2 amps, and you have a standard 7.2v 2600mah battery pack then lift off will be tough. got a sketch or pic you can put up of the aircraft? the simplest ideas are usually the best, but we have to...

    to design all of this is VERY possible. but be warned, some of it may be a little hard to do for 2 reasons, first your limited in experience like myself(I have some ideas though) and 2 aircraft have this annoying thing about being light so we have to use bare minimum, and you have to position...

    Run an mp3 player on a car battery?

    just a note on the night thing. as we are all aware sunrise and sunset change. why not put a "light detector" on it instead and that will be your on/off switch. this won't work if you are putting it near a street light however
