I just finished my prototype for a unit to allow a computer (PC) to operate a radio controlled airplane. I really should take the time to make a proper post here, but time isn't something I have a lot of right now, so for now I'll just point to what I already have.

I hope someone out there finds this useful.

cool. do you have controlled flight?

I have a little dragonfly orthinopter hacked up to let me control throttle and tail rotor. The controller was simple enough that I could just disassemble it and have the arduino simulate the shaft encoder.
