- 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?
