How to Make a Cord Trainer for a BCPP

Thousands of hobbyists enjoy flying remote control--or RC--planes and helicopters. Learning to maneuver and control these airborne craft, such as the E-Flite BCPP. As a result, cord trainers were created to help RC users learn to better control and learn how to fly. The training cord connects to one port on the flyer and then another port on the handheld radio controller. These cords can be built from cables with standard female audio ends connected to them.
