I maintain one of the club trainers and buddy box gear to go with it. The club maintains a second club trainer and buddy box, and I use both regularly for training new flyers. We generally train new flyers through ground school and basic flight maneuvers with the club trainers using the buddy box. They have to have thier own airplane before I teach take offs and landings, and for this I start out with a few lessons on the buddy box, and then switch to pass the box and kinesthetic.

Our club has trainer boxes and cords to work with Futaba, Hitec, and Airtronics. We have budgeted for a JR Quattro system and JR cord, but no one has yet shown up at our field with JR gear.

As I practice using the kinesthic method, I use it more and more, but I am not confident with it yet, so for now I am still using the buddy box.

I would like to switch over to kinesthetic only, but I need practice with it.

I think Ray and Clarence both deserve credit for promoting their methods however, and I am betting they gain in popularity. I expect that with a GOOD instructor, the kinesthetic method is the fastest way to teach.
