An RC transmitter-to-USB interface

Thank you for flying USB-Flitesim

Published in issue 365, May 2007

An RC transmitter-to-USB interface
Over the years, there have been a fair number of designs published enabling a radio-control (RC) transmitter to interface with a personal computer. Having this interface enables prospective model aircraft pilots to hone their skills using a simulation program rather than aviating their pride and joy nose-down into the nearby landscape.
