Simulator radio connecton

You will need a compatible buddy lead to connect the radio to the computer.

I was lucky as my radio uses a standard mono 3.5mm jack, the Vjoy software uses the microphone input of your computer sound card to listen to and interpret the PPM signal.

The importance of an RC simulator

It doesn't matter whether you fly fixed wing or rotary aircraft, I cannot stress the importance of having a simulator, even if its only a basic one, it may help mitigate the effects of minor mistakes that anyone learning to fly will make, saving on potentially expensive repairs.

Remember at the school of hard knocks nobody graduates.

In my next post, whilst I'm waiting for my battery and male XT60 connectors to get my tricopter in the air, I will show you my simulator set up and how my radio connects to it.
