This interface links a Futaba FC-16 R/C transmitter to the parallel
interface of a Reflex model aircraft simulator. This is a
commercially available simulator that has been specially
developed for model aircraft. Included with this program is an
interface with several adapters that allow you to use your own
transmitter to fly the virtual airplanes. This has the advantage
that you don’t have to get used to the PC joystick or keyboard,
but that you can continue to use the same stick, switches, etc
as you would use during real flight
R/C transmitters sometimes have a so-called teacher/student
connection. This connection makes it possible to link two
transmitters together and switch between the two for flying
the model. This teacher/student-connection is perfect for use
with a Reflex simulator, but unfortunately most senders don’t
have such a connection as standard. This is only made available
as a (needlessly expensive) extra. The addition of this
connector is relatively simple, as can be seen in the accompanying
drawing. The reason for using a 3.5 mm stereo jack
plug instead of the usual DIN plug is that the Reflex interface
itself also uses a 3.5
