Default Futaba 8 channel team event

Brother and I had fun playing with this trying to come up with a special event for the 1999 funfly nationals. Take a futaba 8channel transmitter with trainer cord and buddy box(any airplane will do the trick) One team(2 pilots, buddies work best) have to fly a single event. Just pick any event that is marginally fun even by yourself. (The Carlisle Can-Can is perfect for this) With the 8 channel you can pick which functions the "trainer box" has control of. Make one guy fly elevator and rudder and the other guy ailerons and throttle. You pick which one is the master and which is the slave(trainer box) Or come up with any combination of controls that you see most challenging AND FUN. My brother and I could not stop laughing anyway trying to cooperate.
The blindfold flight is fun too, also done on the buddy box for safety. Scary for one guy. kinda stressful for the other.....still fun.
