Believe it or not, finding 10 beginners and getting them to show up will not be difficult. When I say solo, I mean they will be able to takeoff, fly very smoothly and land completely on their own and with a 40 size trainer and not a glider. Keep in mind all of this will be done without the use of a buddy-box.

Going to outfit a bunch of "Charlie" boxes? (gutted TX with RX inside and servos move the sticks...)
Its a great group training aid... Would speed things up like crazy.
10 guys lined up watching a model with Charile boxes... all gaining some "stick movement feel" experience while the instructor is actually getting to control the airplane. Great use for RX's and servos you don't quite trust in an airplane.
I have my buddy cord... and I'm making my Charlie box from a TX I picked up at a garage sale.
