Cool    

QuoteNo jailbreaking. No WiFi. Stock receivers. I fly model airplanes and helicopters with my iPhone. I use an off-the-shelf 2.4GHz module and a custom iPhone app. The app is now in beta testing.

I use the phone's headphone jack to communicate with the Spektrum module. I make no modifications to the module or the receivers. This application does not use WiFi, Internet, external servers or microcontrollers.

Wonder what kind of signal is fed out of the headphone jack.  Are sound signals being converted into PPM using a custom circuit, or is PPM itself is somehow being output through the headphone jack

Another cool iphone/rc related device...

It did come out on the iPhone app store !  And it is PPM that comes out of the headphone jack, but with only 44 steps currently.
