One Sunday about the time Buddy Cords first came out, one of my students brought his very attractive wife out to the field with him. After his flight session, he asked if I would "take his wife up." And like a true gentleman I said "Be happy to!" while trying my best not to lear. I had them fire up my plane, and I took it off and flew a few aerobatic routines to impress her. Then I asked her if she was ready. "Yes!" she said excitedily stepping up closer. Taking one hand off my transmitter I reached out to her and said "Come, stand in front of me and hold the transmitter in both hands." She moved in front of me taking the transmitter as instructed and I put both arms about her and with my hands on hers began to coach her on the stick movements. She was doing very well and was a quick learner. We were a few minutes into the flight when I heard someone shouting my name. With a quick glance towards the pits I saw a club member running towards us waving a Buddy Cord! I did something then I never did before, I took my eyes off an airplane I was flying! As he got closer, I turned my head to him and he stopped dead in his tracks. He told me later that when he saw the expression on my face he knew he had made a mistake. That was really unbelievable! He read my mind! In an instant he realized I was thinking what a stupid idiot he was, bringing that cord to me as we were using MY transmitter, and that cord wouldn't even fit it! We finished the flight and I must say that I have never enjoyed a session as much as that one! Ain't this a great hobby or what?
