He will be in the same situation of extending the USB interface with a USB extension cable. Personally, I'd rather extend the original signal iBus wire than the "interpreted" signals via a USB extension.
Remember. All that no extension stuff could be a CYA policy as well. Same thing with having to tap in the rear at the radio harness. I tend to agree with 80stech that this is a coding issue rather than an issue of where you are tapping the signal from. Just my thoughts though as I have done no testing or trial/error to test that.
