Default Where to get FMS r/c

Currently I use FMS with the keyboard, which is okay. Does anyone know where to get an inexpensive ready to go r/c for FMS?...

Default Cheap Flight Sim Controller

I have seen a two stick four channel rc Flight Sim Xmitter box bundled with FMS on ebay for $17. Don't do ebay? Same thing on some of the heli sites for $20. Don't forget the shipping.

If you have your own radio... you can buy plug adapters that allow you to plug your radio into a USB port on your computer. Or you can just buy a cheap 4 channel radio for about $20 or so and buy a plug adapter for it. It will probably cost about $30.

I ordered one of these and it works great for me. I run Windows XP and there is no set up, I just plug it in and it works (you have to calibrate the sticks of course). It's a nice price too.

I use my joystck that I also use with FSX. Just be sure to set the channels in the settings box. Otherwise your throttle is your rudder, and
everything is mixed up...

I'm not sure how accurate FMS is, it seems like that planes in there are allot easier to fly than in real life...anyone else have comments on this???
