I am intrigued by this project. However, keep in mind one thing:

<R69> All equipment connected to the Joystick Ports of the Operator Interface must be powered solely through the power available through the port. External power sources of any type are not permitted on any equipment connected to the Joystick Ports. Portable computing devices may not be connected to Joystick input ports on the Operator Interface.

As you've pointed out, the Dashboard port is one-directional, so the only way to send data to the RC is through the joystick ports. I don't know how this impacts your plan. Nonetheless, good luck, and keep us updated.
(On a side note, those gumstix computing devices look awesome... definitely something I'll keep in mind for future projects.)
