I think this is a great idea. I know when I started flying, my instructor taught me for free, gave me a few bits here and there as I needed them... I really appreciated it. Then again I've been broke ever since he got me hooked on all this r/c stuf... Really though, I have a few items that I'll probably never use. I'll gather it all up and see what's there.

One thing I could use is a trainer cord that'll link a Hitec transmitter to a Futaba transmitter. I'd like to teach my nephew to fly, and would feel more confident with a buddy box. Even if noone has one to donate, could someone point me in the right direction as to where I can buy one cheap? Thanks.
