Flypad is an app coming soon to the App Store that purports to let you fly any RC-controlled plane with an iPhone, just by connecting the iPhone’s audio out signal up to an adapter. The iPhone can even be connected directly to a PC with the use of special RC simulation software, and from there you can use the dual-joystick setup to control any other games or software.
It’s not an all-in-one solution like the AR.Drone (and the controller is just that, no video or special AR included). But if you already have a plane and a transmitter that’s compatible with this setup, the app could be a cheaper way to use your iPhone as a controller. No price yet, but the app is under Apple’s review right now.

This is really good thing to try on Apple iPhone. Android platform is also developing very fast so may be chance that Android users will also get this kind of app very fast.

Its awesome.Thanks for the share.
Well I have printed this out for later use..thanks.
Electric is most certainly the most popular choice for beginning RC hobbyists. The electric RC plane is quieter and cleaner and it is also cheaper. Plus an electric RC airplane can be flown in most public spaces, wheras a gas powered plane needs to be flown at an RC club field or on private ground.
