DBCherry, I really have to differ with you as to the instruction part that the Co-Pilot can provide. It proved it's self to me and the people I was working for at the time as it helped to increase the learning curve by about 50%. As far as flying inverted I had no problems it just wanted to correct the inverted flight. Set it for 50% gain and you'll be OK and as far as pointing the nose down for landing I took a stock PT-40 with a Magnum 40 set ti up for approach and set the transmitter on the ground letting the model land itself. Note this was not at an AMA field but at a demonstration for the job I was doing. If you haven't tried it then please do so you'll have a blast with it.
