i also use a tray now, used to use the neck strap but now use a tray and i love it much more comfortable and relaxing even has a place for a can of soda built into it .
Who's drinking soda while they're flying?
When starting the plane, flip the neck strap around so that the clasp is hanging down your back. Start the plane and then pull the strap around and hook it to your transmitter.
This also works well for me.
I have never used the transmitter strap. Thought about it once, but then thought better of it. I fly with thumbs and have decided that the strap is probably more hassle than its worth.
If you "never used" the Tx strap, how do you know it's "more hassle" than it's worth? TRY it you'll LIKE it!
