A step in the right direction. Me like a lot! I wonder if we can use other USB joysticks with that controler thingy that comes along.

3 proportional channels isnt enough. 4 should be a minimum and 5 or 6 would be ideal.

this is cool, the way forward :-)

I have the Microsoft Sidewinder (Force Feedback) joystick which has 9 switches plus the X Y joystick.  It is a USB device and would be great if it interfaced with the FPV box.  Anyone know if this has been sucessfully used?

Get the PCTX instead.
It is much more capable, able to handle more channels and is compatible with most joystick/radio combinations.

The HK system does not have enough channels and I do not believe that is a true top-hat which is great for pan/tilt camera control.
