Rotating a shape..help

Hi everyone, I have a very unique situation. Let me explain...

I work for a flight simulator company and I am using the tourque engine to develop games. Currently I need to use the engine to create a real time animation of our flight sim unit. I have the 3d models of our unit but I need to get pitch and roll data into the engine to move the models. I am not sure if any of you are familiar with Microsoft Flight Simulator but with some 3 party software you can extract the pitch and roll data from the games. That is how we control our simulators. Well I need to take that data from the game and import it into tourque to move the 3d models.

I am using a TCP connection to bring the pitch and roll data in to the model. I created a new class called StaticMoveableShape.cc. I am using the processtick function to receive data on the buffer.

I can succesfully get the pitch and roll data but I dont know where to put it. I know it has something to do with the MatrixF class and setTransform function but I dont know exactly what to do. I know that I want to roate the shapes on the x and y axis but I dont understand which column in setColumn controls the rotation of an object.

Here is my processTick function tell me what I should do.

void StaticMoveableShape::processTick(const Move *move)
{
	int error = 0;
	float pitch = 0.0, roll = 0.0;
	
	if(!isConnected)
	{
		if(!isListening)
		{	
				
			if(SetupConnection())	//creates a TCP socket for listening
			 isListening = true;
		}
		if(isListening)
		{
			//accepts incoming connections
			accept_socket = accept( listen_socket, NULL, NULL );
			if(accept_socket != SOCKET_ERROR)
			{
				listen_socket = accept_socket;
				isConnected = true;
			}
			else
			{
				error=WSAGetLastError(); 
			}
		}		
	}
	if(isConnected)
	{
		recv_socket = listen_socket;
		retval =recv(recv_socket,recBuff,35,0);	//receives pitch & roll data
		if(retval ==SOCKET_ERROR)
		{
			if(WSAGetLastError() != WSAEWOULDBLOCK)
			{
				closesocket(recv_socket);
			}
		}
		else
		{
			// need help here!!!!! I dont where this data should go
			MatrixF matrix;
			Point3F rot;
			memcpy(&pitch,&recBuff[0],4);
			memcpy(&roll,&recBuff[4],4);
			
			
			rot.y = mDegToRad(pitch);
			rot.x = mDegToRad(roll);
			
			matrix.setColumn(0,rot);
			Parent::setTransform(matrix);
			
		}
	}
