Yes I agree. We have enough experience of parallel universes at the Basin to know we should avoid them at all costs.

Well, I SAID my head was hurting. I now see my suggestion didn't make sense, or at least not the sense I was thinking. What I was thinking of was two planes on different channels. That means something more like what greenboot originally suggested. Two transmitters, two channels, but rigged so that depending on a switch, the transmitter the pilot held could control either plane, but not both at the same time. He would get one up in the air and stable, then get the other one up. One would fly straight when he turned the other. Actually, you could just have a single pilot holding two transmitters, and moving his hands between them to fly both planes. I would LOVE to watch that, but I've seen guys that I think could do it.

Well. a lot of people I've seen fly only use the right stick anyway, so flying with two transmitters shouldn't be a problem for them.

Hey phillybaby
take a futaba conquest or other radio and changed the throtle from ratchet to centering and used it and the rudder to fly one plane and the other stick to fly the other plane. take off would be easy with 2 people one on each stick and 2 guys throwing the planes,thunder tiger windstars, then after they were settled and flying by each other 1 guy takes over both planes, as long as you can keep them together in your line of sight, but after they seperate then the other guy has to take over his plane again. no prob huh...lol

Alternatively, you could use the transmitter and receiver in the way it was designed. One radio; one model.

Wouldn't that be a novelty!

thinking back i'm pretty sure we've had two gliders, two pilots on one tranny... now for one pilot.

some of the ace radios have dual RF decks...take one plane way up high, switch channels and take the next one up. then just switch back and forth as needed..

Now put your memory to a real test for me, and tell me how you got them both in the air?

Are you saying that you used the left stick for rudder/elevator on one plane, and the right stick for the other? That might actually work. [X(]

yep, like two single stick transmitters.
both planes shared the frequency, one uses 1/2 the other 3/4 launch was with two mates.

What I find hard to believe is that I actually read through this whole thread.

In one of the modeling mags years ago, a guy tried flying more than one little Cox plane (I think) at once off the same TX. I can't recall all the details, it was "Big John" somebody best I can recall
