Hi,  
I am in the process of designing and building a Model America’s Cup Foiling Yacht and am looking at using a Flight Control Unit to control the “Flight of the yacht”.  
At the moment I am considering a SpeedyBee F405 Flight controller which I will need to do some custom programming to control the boat.

The flight control surfaces are very similar to a plane - 2 fwd alerions and one rear alerion.

The complexity will come with adding in a sensor to control “Ride Height” from the water

Any suggestions on where to post questions for assistance would be greatly appreciated.
