Sorry, I wasn't very clear as to what I was proposing. I wasn't
suggesting to let the pendulum hang down to get bank information.
Rather, the idea is to let it swing from side to side to get yaw
information. As the plane changes its heading, the pendulum's
direction of motion changes relative to the plane.

It would have a very significant lag, since pendulums tend to keep
going for a long time with a single push. Were you looking for
something bigger than the ball in the TC?


All the best,
