Hi everybody!
I want to connect my Futaba FC-16 to my PC to control FMS's planes/helicopters with it, but all I have found out up to now is, that I need this "buddy box" (of which I don't know anything about, e.g. how or where to connect it to my r/c?) and some interface-cable (most certain a PIC-interface, as I don't have a parallel-port on my PC and am running Windows XP).
But which components are best to use in my case? And could someone please tell me what this would cost me? I'm still a student and I don't have much money to spend on that (probably the reason why I want to use this freeware-sim ).
Thanks!

Alright, now I've been looking for an equivalent to this buddy box. Would a trainer-system like that one:
do the job?
Adapter-cable for DIN-plug:
Is that what I need to connect my R/C with this:
to my PC?
Also, should my R/C be trainer or pupil to operate it on a PC?
Sorry that I'm rather annoying (and asking sorta newbie-questions), but I'd rather make all of you get angry at me than destroying a helicopter at the first flight. Once this happened to me with a beautiful, expensive aerobatics-trainer, and I certainly DON'T want it to happen again
