Default RE: co-pilot?

The NexSTAR Deluxe has a similar gizmo to this. I tried it while learning to fly, lasted one flight and I disabled it. It was difficult to get setup right with varying lighting conditions (cloudy with some sunshine at times) so it became a pain in the butt. Besides, I had an instructor with me on a buddy box who would help me more than that gizmo would ever help. It may level the wings, but the part of the pilot is to determine why this happened and learn to make the corrections yourself, which you won't do with this thing attached or enabled.

My opinion, and this is based on experience, save you money for your second plane and get a good instructor with a buddy box. You will learn faster and better.
