I still have to grin when I read of all the problems associated with buddy-cords. Maybe someday, everyone will realize that there is an infinitely better way to teach than with the use of a buddy-box. See: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_10...tm.htm#1094078

I learned this way and got to take off and land on my very first lesson. I also learned to fly a Fokker DVII and Supersporster 40 the same week after a learned to fly my trainer. My only crash came when my rx battery ran down.
