What's the deal?

Well, that was the point. My bro has a digital 4ch airplane radio, with the 1st channel (throttle) without a return spring. I was messing with it, and it wouldn't be that hard to just move the stick from zero throttle through the full range, but lack of brakes might suck. I'd run the steering to the 4th channel, which is the right stick left and right motion. It'd be awkward at first, but the European and some Asian drivers use the dual stick radio anyway, and it really isn't that hard to just move the stick around instead of a wheel.....well, at first it would be. It's a pretty precise radio though, I think it'd work pretty good......except for the stupid lack of brakes, I'm thinking on that one too.....:)
