learn and train model flying without the danger of a crash, independent on weather daytime or your flight instructor
works with nearly all R/C transmitters (Graupner, Futaba, Multiplex, Hitec, Walkera, ..)
works with nearly all R/C receivers (Graupner, Futaba, Multiplex and compatible)
runs with most simulators (FMS, Realflight G2, Piccofly, Easyfly, Aerofly, games, ..)
no hand-soldered cheap schlock but machine-made goods of quality
simple installation, no driver needed
axis and buttons are programmable
future-proof due to updateable software, programmable with self-made software, SDK available
Overview
USB-Interface II
USB-Interface II with Fu6sq transmitter cord
Technical data USB-Interface II
The RC-USB-Interface has some enhancements compared to the Gameport Interface:
It can be used by modern notebooks equipped without gameport.
supports USB 1.1, USB 2.0, Hot-Plugging and is powered by USB
works with all transmitters: Though easily exchangeable transmitter cords, you can use one USB-Interface for different transmitters
Up to 9 RC channels are transmitted to the PC. Consequently, you can also control flaps, retractable landing gear, .. in suited simultators with the R/C transmitter.
channel assignment: R/C channel 1 to 7 -> joystick axis 1 to 8, R/C channel 5 to 9 -> button 1 to 8
The small tremble of the model rudders (due to many analog-digital convertions:PPMA -> µcontroller AD -> RC-unit DA -> sound card AD -> simulator) is reduced by the completly digital working RC-USB-Interface (PPM A -> µcontroller AD -> USB client D -> USB host D -> simulator).
fast and precise digitalization with 256 steps
flashing control LED
The USB-Interface II is programmable: Assignment of axis and buttons, reaction of buttons can be reprogrammed quickly and easily.
since Okt. 2006 updatable firmware: The Interface is prepared to understand future transmission modes of new transmitters. (look for firmware updates in the Forum, e.g. Walkera PCM WK-0701, 3000 steps resolution, ..)
Compatibility
After having installed the HID-driver (HID-driver, Windows included), the USB Interface is instantly ready for operation on Win98 SE, WinME, Win2000, WinXP (instruction manualusb-interface_en.pdf [210kB]), LINUX, Mac OS X (Screenshots osx.pdf [280kB]), .. (in general: all O/S that support HID USB joysticks). It has a 2m cable and works with nearly all R/C transmitters equipped with a buddy box.
The USB Interface works with most R/C simulators that can be controlled by a normal joystick:

Technical data USB-Interface II with fixed receiver cord
Same data like USB-Interface II plus:
It can be connected with an R/C receiver. So a transmitter without buddy box or PPM signal can be made suitable for simulators. The USB-Interface supplys the receiver with power. It reads up to 4 R/C channels from the receiver.
Transmission up to 4 signals from the receiver
All transmitter cords to connect it with a R/C transmitter are usable

RC USB-Interface III
USB-Interface III with JR3.5 receiver cord
Technical data RC USB-Interface III
RC USB-Interface II has the following enhancements compared to its predecessor:
It can be connected with an R/C receiver. So a transmitter without buddy box or PPM signal can be made suitable for simulators. The USB-Interface supplys the receiver with power. It reads up to 7 R/C channels from the receiver.
Optionally, a transmitter cord can be connected with the exchangeable receiver cord. The USB-Interface III is used with the R/C transmitter just like USB-Interface II. The source of the signal is detected automatically.
It has a 16 pin connector and its firmware is updatable. So it can be used as generic device for monitoring, sensor measurement, controlling, as USB dongle, migrating applications to USB, PPM analyzer, training, prototyping, ...
The Software Development Kit - USB-Interface III SDK is offered for free. It supports the development of new applications. Examples can be found in the Forum, e.g. PPM Generator (controlling a model via PC)

Receiver Adapter
Receiver Adapter with Graupner/JR servo connectors
Equipped with the Receiver Adapter you don't need a buddy box connector on your R/C transmitter to use the USB Interface. The Receiver Adapter is connected with the R/C receiver. It reads out the individual servo positions and provides the PPM signal for the USB Interface 2.
uses up to 7 servo channels
operates with all R/C receivers, that support popular servos from Graupner/JR, Futaba or Multiplex
can be used in wireless master/slave trainer system in principle
