SIMSTICK ia a great looking USB interface device that will allow you to connect to your PC without using the wires. Anytime you want to use your simulator just turn on your transmitter and it will instantly connect. There is no appreciable loss in latency and it will even allow you to fly with transmitters that do not have a trainer port (i.e. DX7 SE).

Whether you are a RC helicopter or plane pilot there are many advantages to practicing on an RC flight simulator. The only pain is the lead you connect to your PC, it gets under your feet, looks messy and it’s never there when you need it, so why not tidy it away?

Simstick is compatible with most Spektrum based radios including the DX8 and the majority of 6 channel receivers with a narrow pin spacing.

Just jam the Sim stick in with your Phoenix USB Dongle into your pc, bind and fly!

Follow these simple steps to wireless simulator flight !

You will require:
A Spektrum based transmitter (DX6i, DX7, DX8, JR DSX9, etc)
A Spektrum based receiver (currently most 6 channel receivers available, i.e. AR6100, 6110, etc)

Step1: Bind your transmitter to your receiver
You will need to apply power to the receiver via a regulated lipo or a NiCad and perform the bind process set out by the manufacturer. The transmitter needs to be on a separate model memory, in heli mode (even for planes) and in a single servo operating configuration (i.e. not set to multi servo CCPM mode if being used for helis).

Step2: Plug the receiver into SIMSTICK
CAUTION: Care should be taken to ensure that the receiver is correctly installed.
The battery terminals on the receiver must overhang the connection block where the arrow on the Simstick points.

Step3: Connect the original simulator jack and USB plus into SimStick
Connect your SIMSTICK to one of your computer’s free USB ports.

We recommend you use a USB fly lead to reduce the chance of breakage or stress to the USB connector on the SimStick.

Step4: Turn on your Transmitter

Step5: Start up your RC flight simulator

Step6: Calibrate your transmitter in the setup of your RC flight simulator

Step7: Re-assign the channels
You will find the Aileron, Pitch and Throttle channels will need to be re-assigned in the in the Transmitter setup screen. Either follow your RC flight simulator instructions. Watch video.....

Step8: Go and Fly!
