    Wow! That really is taking it to the next level. Great find. It would be so cool to fly FPV like that. I've always thought using those computer game style joysticks and throttle levers would be so much more fun than transmitter sticks. Plus the guy added a 42 inch flat screen which sure beats those little screens most folks use. Thanks for posting this.

    Didn't we have a topic on using computer game joysticks before? How hard could it be to do that?

    Just use ardupilot software and hook em up, can do 900mhz link or 433the for LRS.

    The guy in the video says he changed the potentiometers in the sticks to the same values as the ones in the Futaba radio he used. I wonder if he has less "lag" than using USB interface sticks with Ardupilot?

    He must have done a direct connection to the Tx. Yes it would be better. But a major job. Don't know if it would be worth all the trouble.
