It would be great if you could connect 2 FPV controllers together, wirelessly or wired, and use them for training new pilots. This concept has existed for a long time, a student controls the aircraft until a switch / button press (or switch / button release) on the instructor's radio, then instructor takes over control as nessesary.

Most RC transmitter manufacturers support a universal student / instructor system, it would be even better if the FPV controller could accept wired student input from any of those other manufacturers.

Ideally, we could use one of the non-aux switches for granting / retake control. While in trainer mode, I'd like to hold down the C button or the record / back button or the left dial to grant control, and release to retake control.

I also have an idea, I saw a lot of video lessons from JI and many are translated into Polish. But almost all of DJI's documentation and blog is in English. I really like your products, I would love to translate manuals and product lessons into Polish, as I work professionally as a writer at  a specialized European service to help students with abstracts and other assignments. I have been writing and translating professionally for many years. I think there will be many DJI fans from Eastern Europe who will be interested in this.

Has any progress been made on this? I would like to teach my grandson to fly DJI drones using my DJI Mini 3 Pro. A Buddy Box capability would be the best way if at all possible.
