    Imagine if you could run your FPV with this:

    Saitek X-65F Combat Control System USB Joystick
    http://www.saitek.com/uk/prod/x65f.html

    With all those knobs and buttons you would never have to take your hands off the sticks.

    Had not seen that one yet, I was looking at the Logitech system a while back:

    And there is this to hook it up to your plane:

    I like that one a lot better. It seems you don't need a PC. Very cool. This video demonstration is nice:
