Fly planes & helicopters from your iPhone

by David Allen on Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

As tricky as it may sound this app can actually allow the user to take control of a remote controlled aircraft and fly it around as if you had the proper flight controls. The program allows the iPhone to access a Linksys router to get an IP address and from there on its just plain sailing. I am not sure that is as easy as all that, but there are further details available on site.

What you get:

 

1. Throttle Lock/Cut

2. Visual Throttle Cue so you can see if the throttle is at full and you are not getting power to the plane. In addition, the phone will vibrate depending on different throttle positions. Full throttle gets a hearty shake out of the old girl.

3. Network status (Based on ping latency)

4. Really difficult to accidentally quit.

5. Ability to eventually use more than one engine. (Just in case).

6. Cool looking throttle levers like the big boys use.
