Use to teach another to fly. This is the standard cord to use between two GWS brand transmitters. If your tired of "pass the radio" you've found the right part. Note, although these "look" like JR cords they do not interchange. JR cords are 2 pole (mono) and GWS cords are 3 pole (stereo)
Use to teach fledgling RC pilots to fly. This is the standard trainer cord used with all Hitec buddy systems. Connects the instructer's transmitter to the student transmitter. If your tired of "pass the radio" you've found the right part. The sweetest sound ever heard by student RC pilots is "I've got it, relax!"
Direct from Hitec/RCD:
Important Information Regarding Trainer cord compatibility: To our valued customers, While Hitec radios are known to be trainer compatible with other Hitec and Futaba systems, Hitec has determined that the two-way Futaba cord is not 100% compatible with our systems and strongly suggests it not be used at any time. Our tests show that when the Futaba trainer cord is used with a Hitec radio the slave transmitter will emit an RF signal, thus creating a potentially dangerous interference situation, and in some cases will burn up components in the slave and or master radio. Hitec suggests that only the one-way Hitec trainer cord (#58310) be used with Hitec radio systems for training. Failing to do so will void the customers warranty and could create a potentially dangerous situation. Hitec apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause, but the safety of our customers is our utmost concern."
This set will work between two late systems (like A9 and Optic). Any 2 6 cell (7.2V) TX's.

Buddy Cords and Trainer Cables
A buddy cord links two transmitters so an instructor can hand control to a student and take it back instantly, which makes it a common tool for teaching new pilots. This category collects buddy and trainer cords for several radio brands.
Brand Fitments
Cords here are matched to specific radio connectors, including Airtronics trainer and buddy cords, a Futaba trainer cord with round plugs on both ends, and a Hitec trainer cord. A GWS compatible trainer cord is also offered for radios using that connector style.
Complete Packages
Some options, such as the Hitec trainer cord full package, bundle the pieces needed to connect a pair of radios so you can set up a training session without sourcing extra adapters. Confirming that both transmitters support trainer operation is a sensible step before a first lesson.
