RE: How do you hold your transmitter sticks
I did have a Rudder Only Pulse that Dad gave me but I traded for a EK Logitrol 3 channel, with servos the size of cigarette package.
I did get that to work. but traded that for an MRC 4 Chanel with smaller servos. I went Kraft after that...

RE: How do you hold your transmitter sticks
I use my thumbs on top with my index finger resting on the front of the sticks to stabilize and assist.
Regardless of what method you use.. I'd recommend ALWAYS using at least a strap to hold the weight of the Tx. This way your hands are free to only move the sticks instead of trying to control the sticks as well as supporting the weight of the Tx.

That is how I've done it for over 35 years and any other way just doesn't feel right.
One time while flying, I was hit by an out-of-control plane...dead center of my ankle. While I was falling I was able to throw my transmitter to a buddy who was standing next to me. So he's got my transmitter and he's looking at me writhing on the ground and yelling, "You all right?" "FLY THE DAMN PLANE!", I gently whispered.
In this particular instance not using a strap helped to save my plane but that shouldn't preclude strap use if that is more comfortable for you.
