Ever wondered what it would be like to have feedback from your heli?
How it would feel when the bird pitches forward or aft, left or right and feeling it in the sticks.
So a mod is brewing " feedback" from the heli.
Give me some "feedback"

How many beers have you had Erwin? LOL I guess it is not beyond the realms of fantasy for this to happen. And if you threaten it with a few daft inputs, you get 2000 Volts back through the sticks!!!!!!!

Interesting. "Force feedback" on a computer joystick is kinda neat.
Perhaps it would help noobs like me to avoid over controling.

It would be quite hard wouldn't it?
You'd need motors on the sticks and either a sim in the tx which behaves the same as your heli to tell the motors what to feed back or a transmitter in the heli comunicating the heli's attitude to the TX.

Well maybe it takes time but, trust me... you can FEEL when your heli is flying Rough, Smooth, Right or Not Right.
When i fly my Bro's CP i can actually Feel the difference, his used to run very Rough, as if you could actually feel it in the sticks compared to mine.... Dont know what it is and its very hard to explain but as you move foward in heli's i think you will get it too.
Anyone else that knows what i am talking about can chime in :)
but yes Force feedback would be great on a remote :) like pressure on the sticks, for instance as you push forward to move into foward flight there is some resistance on the stick and as it starts going forward that force lessens, and then lets say your going really fast in forward flight and pull back on the stick to stop foward flight there is that much more pressure on the stick...
that would be awesome.

You would need a heli as big as your Esmart to cary all the associated gubbins to facilitate this feedback!!!!!!!!
:wow2:
