Opinions requested.

I know........That leaves me wide open.........

There are a number of people at our field that have shown some interest in jets.
I was thinking of a day, possibly at a fun fly where I could set up my R54 on a buddy box and just let everyone take turns flying it. Of course it would only be people that I know can fly good enough to trust with it.
I am one of the clubs flight instructors so I am familiar with using a buddy box and to know when to take control back cuz there was something I did not like.
With the buddy box I can disable the "students" ability to drop gear, flaps, kill the engine, mess with dual rates or even take away throttle all together.

Does this sound like a good idea?

What are some of the pros and cons that I have not thought of here?
