No noise, no oil mess, no need for large open RC type flying field.
I use a standard two stick trans hung from a neck strap and attached to the sides of the tx, where I have bonded two support rings. Not the center point on most txs. The tx hangs on my chest with the sticks pointing to the airplane and throttle control is easily effected by either left or right hand.
A few of my fellow flyers do use the car radio simply held in the free hand. But I do not because I fly from a wheel chair as I need the free hand to help control the chair intermittently.
