I just flew MS FS today, but there are a few snags in using it for
model training: the plane changes to a point too soon as you
fly away, and if you lose horizont (easily!) you have no idea
how high you are. Nice simulator, though.

Instead during Xmas vacation I saw and tried Dave Brown's
simulator. That looked quite promising. I'm only still
wondering, if I could build controller-box myself and save
$60...

I came to think, that I could connect my Tx (old Futaba) to PC via trainer
cord, but now it seems to me, that there are no separate wires
for each channel, but the information goes 'framed' (as from
Tx to Rx) in trainer cord. Does anyone know radio technics to
know?
