 For now I will try to explain as best I can remember.
 The theory of operation is that there is a static charge in the atmosphere.
 The radio active particles keep the sensors from building up any static
 charge.  They used 4 sensors in 2 pairs. one on each wing tip for roll
 stabilization, and one on the nose and tail for up and down stabilization.
 The sensor were then input to a op amp and the output from it tied into the
 radio control servo of  the necesary control.

What are the sensors detecting as a reference field? The ionosphere?
