Dave, you are nuts
No, actually not! If you look waaaaay back in this thread, I showed a top secret setup where I controlled two Futaba SBUS servos connected to the SBUS. The ASSI device actually controlled these servos, they were basically controlled by channel 4 from the transmitter (rudder). The ASSI then mixed some movement into this based on the current airspeed measured. This was just an academic test to prove that the ASSI in fact could control flight surfaces etc in a plane ("only requirement" was that they are SBUS servos !).
I have some stuff in my nutty brain for this, more will come later (thrust compensation in dual engine setups etc is just one of the applications )

The telemetry adapter can be bought from Xicoy direct, this is what you want: http://www.xicoy.com/catalog/product...roducts_id=316

EDIT: just found the video showing the servo control from ASSI:
