LGCI Landing Gear and General
Automation Controller for 3 Servos
The Thomson Automation Digital Landing Gear Controller is an automation controller perfect for
use in radio-controlled airplanes and other model vehicles that use standard radio-control
servos. It can be used as either a single-acting or double-acting landing gear controller or as a
one-step, two-step or three-step general automation controller. Two or more units can be
connected in series or parallel for longer sequences or more channels of control. The
double-acting landing gear modes are suitable for use in airplanes such as the P-51 where the
gear doors close again after the gear is lowered. A wheels-up switch can be used to initiate the
door closing to overcome the problems of uncertain speeds of motion in air-powered systems. An
output is available for landing light control. Servo-powered and air-powered motions are
accommodated and travel speeds and distances are fully programmable. If you are like us and
never have enough servo channels, the Landing Gear Controller is for you.
