after reading about this new system, I see it as a switching device. Is that right?
-It is an In-Flight, Flight Control Switching Device.

when the master tx trainer sw. is pressed the box in the plane switchs to the slave rx and the slave tx has comand, right?
-YES...but the trainer switch is whatever toggle or dial that you choose.

can there be two RX batterys one for each RX in the plane????
-Yes, but in the end the batteries are really in parallel so the two batts. are providing the entire system their added capacity. I highly recommend only using batt. that have the same chemistry, voltage and capacity. Any port on any device, either RX or the XPO itself will servo as a power supply port. I did, however, include a dedicate battery port on the XPO itself for power distribution. If you were asking, are the batteries separate for each RX then the answer is no, all power is in parallel.

I would think this would be a good product for the very high end flyer, like if someone is flying a $5000 RC jet. wouldn't it be nice to have another person standing there with a whole separate control system as back up. This would be great even if used as a test bed for the new $5000 plane or jet. $140 would be a drop in the bucket for those guys (I am not one of the lucky ones, but if I was I would have one).
-Could not agree more! In the end, it all boils down to your definition of high dollar - for Bill Gates a 50,000 dollar Jet is like a penny on the curb outside that nobody wants to bend over to pick up. But for others, 2 grand in one aircraft is considered a big expense. So, I am offering a way to protect that monetary commitment and also preserve your long hours put into building and customizing your "baby".
I don't care how many people fly the same airplanes I fly, BUT in the end, my plane is still one of a kind....the lost hours is what makes men cry when they crash more so then the money lost....it's a heartbreak...
