    I am studying this post with interest.
    Thank you for putting a lot of information in the post.

    I'm going to run a test using wifi rather than a radio module.

    If possible, can you share the source code of 'simtools game plugin' and 'rcrider app' you used?

    Wifi is likely going to add a lot of latency.

    Hey!! wow this is what i have wanted to do for ages!!

    I swear i searched a million times but i was obviously looking for the wrong keywords.
    This is awesome!! I have been looking into it lately and if you havcent heard of ExpressLRS well its a fairly new to the game transmission system that we are all using these days. It also has a firmware called Airport which sends telemetry data via mavlink or MSP to your computer using a secondary transmitter and reciever. with recievers being about 5 grams now it would be better suited to a mini whoop and do without the arduino and gyro and telemetry wifi module. Plus every flight controller on the market will be compatible with it as they all use the same messaging system
    see:
    https://www.expresslrs.org/software/airport/

    The flight controller (betaglight/inav) already puts out telemetry using MSP messages like MSP_RAW_IMU (9dof) and MSP_ATTITUDE. Wonder if there is a way to pull this data using a program like RCRider..

    https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight/blob/master/src/main/msp/msp_protocol.h

    Any thoughts? It's obviously way out of my expertise haha.

    Yeah I worked on this on and off over the years. What I found worked best for me in the aircraft was the head tracker from RCG and an immersion rc EZ UHF junior transmitter module and on the ground the receiver. I built a simple 3 dof miniature platform using 9 gram servos . The ezuhf is on 434mhz and I was using frsky on 2.4ghz. The motion was pitch roll and heave.
    I think you can use a plug in called joystick to run your actuators. Things get a little fuzzy here as it has been a few years.

    Oh thats actually a good solution too! I might try with this arduino code and get some interest with the betaflight/inav community and see if they want to help. Adding the extra wieght to planes or 5" quads wouldnt be muchy of a problem but when messing with toothpick style quads every gram counts.
