I just finished the design of my dual stepper motor
coil winder PCB. It occurred to me it could be the basis
of a low cost auto pilot. Ailerons and elevator.
The Mikroe $40 Mini MO has 5 analog to digital ports  for
atmospheric pressure sensor and low cost solid state gyros.

Even cell phones have solid state gyros sort of:)

It even has a black box option recording altitude and heading
using this free Windows terminal program
and a PC or tablet for recording the data.

All you need to do is learn to program in BASIC.
