Abstract :
This paper presents an approach to the control of an unmanned light aircraft. The light craft has similar properties to a helicopter. It is fundamentally unstable and with highly nonlinear dynamics. A control system is required to control, compensate, and balance the craft when there is a change on load capacities, disturbances, and environmental conditions. A fuzzy logic control system based on a microcontroller was developed to realize a light craft flight controller.
