Thank you for generating the initial post. I too was contemplating about a tray due to the way I am currently holding the DX8 with the neck strap. I am thinking that a tray is an "investment" for me and that I will be both safer and more relaxed when flying.
So far i always had to worry if the curvature of my belly will make the TX slip and my controls will be moved at the wrong time !!
I went ahead and ordered the RC Trayman product from Kevin (NJ distributor) and a great guy let me tell you ... We met yesterday and he showed me his case. He went out of his way to ensure I would be happy before I bought it ...
Outcome: A new excellent tray and a good friend to fly with ... Now, what more can you ask ????
I enjoy the personal touch and the extra mile that hobbyist like ourselves take EVERY single day in order to promote the enthusiasm of flying !!!
Good day folks!
