Hi,

the easysim software, which comes with the FUN Piccolo can be operated with a simple joy stick or Game Commander. It will not work with a transmitter.

Best regards,

your IKARUS Team

Have a look at http://www.rc-electronics.co.uk/sim_comp.htm

You might find a cable interface that will work as these units simulate a standard windows joystic

This is more of a place to ask Ikarus specific questions about their products.

I recieved a pro piccolo for christmas and have a few questions (1)on my futaba 7c what heli mode do i use
- use HELISWH1 (or the similar (FF8 Name) - Heli swash configuration 1
(2)do i need to set the pitch control on it
- Yes it flys by altering the pitch on the blades to control the amount of lift generated by the rotorhead
(3)what is the diferance of the propicoboard
the picoboard plus i recieved the latter of
the 2 and will it operate the pro
- the piccoboard and the piccoboard plus are very similar the main differences being the piccoboard plus has pins to accept the heading hold module and when a reciever is included (in the same unit) the plus comes with a six channel and the piccoboard comes with a four channel.
- There is also a Piccoboard pro which is more designed for the Pro as it can handle more amps (power) which the larger motors in the pro sometimes require.

If this is your first heli you'd be better off purchasing a Piccolo fun as they are easier to learn on and cheaper to repair (if you are unlucky enough to damage it) as there are fewer parts and the Piccoboard plus which you have is ideally suited to the fun.
