Some of you may know the Reflex RC simulator.
The manufacturers have now modified the control-thingy to be a full-option RC remote.
The handunit features a large display, PC connection, open-sources for selfmade projects, and - 16 channels!
In standard, the unit has 2 sticks (2DOF each, like any stick radio), plus 2 pots. Up to 4 (or 6…) additional switches (2-way and 3-way) can be added.
Sold as a complete RC, it comes with the Jeti 2,4GHz system. Of course you can add your own way of radio linkage, like XBee.
All channels (meaning servo channels) can be assigned freely, there is no “ch 1-4 are fixed to the sticks”.
I will meet the manufacturer on my next fly-in in September, and hopefully get a test unit to play with.
If this thing is actually what is advertized, the normal Rx manufacturers should be prepared for some serious competition.
