Transmitter for computer simulation

[Jbarth13]

Hi all,
I am looking for a 4 or 5 channel heli radio to hookup to my computer for simulation. It must be able to use a USB port and have a buddy system. Please give me suggestions, but try to keep price down, as I am on a relatively limited budget, so no extremely advanced radios, please. Thanks for any help.

I dont think it matters. Since I have a mac, I will be using http://alphaomega.software.free.fr/rchelicoptersimulator/RC%20Helicopter%20Simulator.html. It is the only sim I could find for mac.

Tower Hobbies make a basic, no frills 4 channel radio that would wor well with a sim. As far as using a USB port, that is a matter of buying the proper cable. Any name brand radio with a trainer port has a cable for it out there somewhere.

Would the tower hobbies work well for actaul heli flight? What about tthe Laser4? Isnt it supposed to be a good radio?
