What do you think of the "co-pilot"?
 

Was reading something about it recently. It rights your plane based on temperature differences between the sky and the ground, or something like that. Anyone have any experience with this?

Why don't you use 2 "V's" [ vv ] for the w?

I have one installed on an RCM Trainer .40 and turned it over to an 8 year old - and he flew two tanks through without me having to 'save' him, except for landings and take-offs.

What I like is that you can do two 'neat' things with it. If you have a 5 Channel or larger radio, you can turn the Co-Pilot 'On' or "Off" via retract switch and secondly, you can dial in the amount of sensitivity - which can become less and less as you get better...

I have one also and it will work exactly as advertised if you read the instructions and hook it up like they say. It's a neat gadget. It really helps on cross wind landings.
The only "catch 22" is if the airplane is inverted, the co-pilot will apply full up elevator when you let go of the sticks. Not good if you're too low to the ground to complete a half loop!

I have seen to people learn to fly and solo on the thing. The only problem is getting them off the co-pilots because they are too scared to fly unassisted.

Where can I get one?
 

Where can I get one and how much are they?

www.fmadirect.com, or your LHS. I think they're coming out with a new version of the co-pilot with more features, as well as doubtlessly a higher price.
I have mine on a plane that has separate aileron servos. The co pilot is designed to work with a single servo that controls both ailerons. But, I did some experimenting and found out it will work if you just run one aileron servo through the co-pilot. roll recovery is probably a little slower, but it still works fine. Being able to turn it off in flight is also a tremendous advantage.
