I just made an easy interface for FMS. I used an old Tower Hobbies system 3000 4FM TX and a Gravis Destroyer Xtreme joy stick. It only has 3 functional TX channels but it works. It's a 2 axis joystick with a throttle and a usb plug. All that is need is to splice the wires from the 3 pots on the joy stick to which ever TX channel needed. The board from the joystick in about 2X3 and easily fits in the hollowed out TX. There were also 4 buttons on the joystick if anyone has an idea how to make it fully functional please let me know. Thanks

You can also use the $10 USB gamepads with analog control sticks...that way you can have full 4 channel operation.

Simply remove the analog joysticks from the board and wire up the pots from your tx.
