XPO Co-Pilot by 2icrc "Wireless Buddy Box"

Hello,

I am introducing to the market a product that I created. Since I am not familiar with the Canadian RC Forums I figured I'd start here.

XPO Co-op Pilot (Wireless Buddy Box)

Visit www.2icrc.com to read about the XPO. This device allows 2 or more pilots (human/artificial) for one aircraft. Great for beginners as well as advanced pilots and UAVs. Patent Pending.

Piloting/Training

Two pilots for one airplane without cable connection between each other. Ideal for beginners and advanced training for pilots looking to learn 3D, fly jets, helis and learn aerobatics. Master pilot can give full control or partial control of vehicle to secondary pilot. For example, learn 3D/helis one channel at a time.... Since there is no cable connecting the pilots on the ground, they are free to stand anywhere!

Redundancy/Flexibility

Two receivers onboard for two transmitters on ground. Single point failure due to interference never again! Any brand, any transmitter technology, mode 1 or mode 2 – no need to use same radio brand for both pilots. Perfect for cars, boats, helis, sailplanes and airplanes.

Co-op Competitions

Since pilots/drivers do not have to stand next to each other, Pylon races, Car/Boat Races can cover twice the track area. As vehicle escapes view of one operator, the second operator can take over!

Co-op Training

2 or more pilots to one vehicle is possible.

Professional/Photography

Very handy for Film Makers and Aerial photography (especially using helis). For example, the master pilot can maintain a hover and give tail rotor control to secondary pilot. The secondary pilot manages the on-board camera (zoom, focus, etc...) and pans the entire heli to center & capture the shot.

FPV - First Person View

Many Apps Here! From border patrol, aerial photography, aerial advertisement using RC vehicles, surveillance, law enforcement, to film industry and don't forget all of the ground vehicles that can use this as well...

UAV Application

Test your custom artificial pilot without worries of crashing. Grant servo control to your artificial pilot whenever you wish and take control back whenever as well. If you run both human and artificial inputs into the in-flight computer you run the risk of crashing if the computer freezes up or powers down. Your entire vehicle can go down in a single point of failure!!!!!!! I have flown UAVs and have had a few go down that way. This is why I developed this product! Don't tackle safety protocols and flight testing together in one sitting! Use the XPO to test your artificial pilot without worrying about how to handle safety issues due to loss of communication to your on board computer!!!!!!

here is a video from a customer of mine...in this case, he has set it up to teach his 6 year old son. however, the XPO can be used in many other ways well beyond novice training!

Looks like an interesting product.

You may want to review the use of "XPO Co-Pilot" as a product name though, as the producers of the "FMA Co-Pilot" product may have a reasonable trademark claim... Not affiliated in any way, just a heads up.
