Most model shops sell it,or if your local one doesn`t then Skyline do


A simulator will pay for itself many times over in not having the crashes you would have without one

Hehe yes I have started to notice that
Is it possible to only buy the controller somewhere, and not the software?

I'm not sure what good owning the controller would do you without the software?
I take it, by controller, you are referring to the dongle that Phoenix comes with?
The software is useless without the dongle.

phoenix is a USB lead that plugs into your transmitter and a CD with the software on it.

the dongle is unique to phoenix without it the software is useless and vise versa.

aha ok, I tought it was like a joystick or a gamepad. But does the transmitter come with the program, or only a cable that you plug into the transmitter you allready have? (no usb in mine).

[robgt]

You plug the Dongle (from Phoenix) into the USB slot on your computer, and the other end connects to your transmitters buddy lead connector.

It comes with a JR (phono) connector as standard, and you can buy adaptors to fit Futaba and other transmitters as needed.

no, it only has a charger plug. I dont know what type it is, it only says: awesome r/c product by model engines. Model E8
It came with the twister bell medevac. probably too cheap?

argh it says trainer on the back, but when I remove the cover plug, theres only a black hole .

Any suggestions what I should buy (not that I can buy anything right now) Why does some transmitters have monitors on them?what are they good for?

[robgt]

Yeah, I don't think you'll be able to use that to connect up to your computer at all.
