Question: I’m in the process of training someone on the buddy box. I have a scratch-built trainer that has a AR 6210 Receiver. After flying a couple of times, it appears that the plane is not so stable. However, I do have a AR636B 6 Channel AS3x Receiver. Would this be a better receiver for the student than the AR 6210?

Is the trainer unstable for you or just the student? Even though it might take a little longer to solo, I would suggest that the student is better off learning to fly the plane rather than depending on the stability assist. You might be able to make the trainer more stable by moving the balance point a little farther forward, just 2 or 3% of the total wing chord.
