Default RE: FMS related question


ORIGINAL: pElf28p

I am completely new to rc airplanes. However, I plan to put together a slowstick in the future (sometime in the next year) for my first. In the mean time I have download the FMS simulator but I do not have a controler for it. I am curious to know if I can get an actual controler for the slowstick, but one that can also be plugged in via usb that will work for FMS. Any suggestions? I hope my question is clear. Thanks for any information. -Elf
You can buy a USB controller like this:

Or get a cable from this page:

that hooks up to a transmitter that you will also use to fly your Slow Stick.

I have that controller and it is adequate, although I wouldn't recommend buying it. For the money, I'd consider spending the extra money (around $100) and get FS One.

I'd be interested in comments from pilots who used FMS only before flying a real RC plane.
