I am still new to the hobby so I still fly with an instructor. The radio I use is an airtronics VG400. The problem is the trainer button, I thought that the way it worked was when he needs to take it he just pushes the button and he has it,then when he is going to give it back he just pushes it again and I have control. Yesterday I realized that the whole time im flying he has to hold this stupid little button down.Im sure this is a pain in the rear, has anyone heard of modifying this with a switch or something?
Thanks
Yep, the instructor holds it down ala a dead man's switch. I spent the last few months training two guys, and it does get a little hard to hold the button for 10 minutes at a time. But, if your instructor is anything like me, it isn't a big deal. It is worth it to see a successful solo.
Good luck with yours.
