Ari Krupnik’s Kickstarter concept is about to take flight (oooof – can you believe I dropped that one). He just needs to round up another $5700 or so to bring the iPhly Radio Control to life. This hardware device works with his accompanying iPhone app – already live in the iTunes app store – to bring natural hand motion controls to your RC plane or car.

A cool idea indeed. He has even gone as far as to develop the iPhly trainer cable that let you test the software portion along side your regular RC transmitter (that another pilot could control simultaneously) so you can get the hang of it without risking a plane crash.

Good luck Ari.
