Default wing levelers

Sitting around the hanger and discussing the possibility of somehow using
off-the-shelf electronic/computer components or gadgits for semi-automatic
wing leveling on lightly loaded, short wingspans.

Not being computer guys, the current thought is that something should be out
there that is available cheaply and modifiable to use a simple wing
leveler.

Having heard someplace that automotive computers, as an example, sense data
millions of times leads us to believe that sensing the wing tip initial
movement and counteracting very very quickly would be a good thing.

As an example: One fellow pictured a rolling ball bearing inside a tube
somehow activating a magnetic switch which in turn pulses a dc linear motor
to operate the aileron minutely.

We are not sure how to detect the very earliest initial wing tip movement or
drive the small trim type motor and would appreciate some thoughts or site
recommendations to investigate.

Thanks, Dick
