Recently I got the bug to fly RC stuff again and found a free RC
simulator called FMS. There's no such thing as a cheap joystick for RC
stuff, so I dug around a little and found a nifty circuit that
interfaces my transmitter to the parallel port. $5 worth of parts + a
Futaba Super 8 = the most expensive joystick I've ever owned. This is
neat. Probably the most realistic sim there is since there is no
cockpit, I'm actually using exactly the same controls as the real world,
and best of all, it's cheap :)

Now back to flying little bitty things...
