A while back I heard something about a new transmitter that had incorporated an electronic release switch that gave back control to the instructor; simply by moving any control lever on the instructor's transmitter. Has anyone else heard of this? I guess this device would be akin to touching the brake to release cruise control on an automobile.

Although I don't use a buddy-box, I imagine those who do use the cord, would very much appreciate such a "quick release" device such as this.

Take care,
