XPO Co-op Pilot Demo (Wireless Buddy Box) at XFC

[XPO]

Hi,

Just want to let you know that 2icrc (Second In Command) will have a booth at the XFC and will be demonstrating the XPO Co-op Pilot System.

Among many features, this system allows any two TXs of any brand name & technology to be used together. The pilots on the ground are also not bound by cable to each other.

The Co-piloting System allows two pilots to share full or partial control of the same vehicle. This device takes the "Buddy Box" style of flying to the next level by eliminating the "trainer cord" and much much more.... The XPO transcends well beyond the concept of a Wireless Buddy Box and introduces Co-op Training, Co-op Piloting, Co-op Competitions and Flight Control Redundancy to the R/C Hobby. Cross brand name capability gives the XPO unprecedented versatility.

Hi,

I purchased this device and installed it in a low wing trainer. I was excited enough that I video taped a little bit of the installation. I have since flown it with my 6 year old son.

The product is simply awesome. Worked perfect right out of the box. I am buddy boxing a 2.4GHz Spektrum with a cheapo 72MHz Airtronics that my son uses. Furthermore, I am only giving him partial control of the airplane. I only grant him controls of the ailerons and elevator.

If I get my brother in law to come out with me, I will have him video tape our flight and I will add it here for y'all to see.

This product saved me money since I did NOT have to buy another SpeKtrum to fly with my son. Furthermore, I don't have to worry about having a pricey TX on his destructive little hands...

Come to think of it, this product should be given out by AMA to new members as part of the membership bundle!!!

I am stoked....well worth the $140....this is like your first cordless drill or cordless phone...after you use it, you wonder how you ever got anything done with the cord in your way...once I am done training with him on this airplane we can drop the Wireless Buddy Box in another airplane for some more advance stuff.
