Hi!. I'm not an RC enthusiast, although I do enjoy it quite a bit. I'm more of a computer guy by nature and trade. I am currently working on a project that has brought me up against a wall that I am hoping this community can help me out with.

Is there such thing as a bridge between a computer and a standard RC controll?
I'm not looking to use the RC to train on a computer. No, I want to use my computer, it's joystick, keyboard etc to control an aircraft. Is there like a USB box that can just send the RC signal, or any way to connect a computer to an RC unit and have the COMPUTER be in control?

Thanks!
Itz

Itz,

Take a look at the new USB v.4 interface from MileHighWings:

For $42 + s/h, you'll get a bi-directional TX->PC and TX<-PC interface with an open Output PPM protocol.

I hope that Itz understands a little better what he's trying to achieve (the guy, who started that thread, had no clue).
