How did you fly today with the pinch method if you dont already have a neck strap?...Rog

I'm 6'1" and have big hands with long fingers. It was a bit akward holding the radio, but not really that bad.

Well, I'm 5'11 ,have normal hands and play the banjo and theres no way I could do that for more than a minute without my fingers cramping up, course being a 1/2A'er most of my planes only fly for 3 minutes anyway,,oh,just weighed a couple my 6 ch is 1.75 lbs,,my 4 ch is 1.5 lbs and my 3 ch is 1.1 lbs...Hey get a good thick one (strap) I have a futaba red one that I over paid for like $16 from tower the Hitec? I think is the same thing for half $ that...or it might be a generic one the tiny black one that came with the Tx hurts my neck after just a few minutes...Rog

Hehe, I sold my Morgan Monroe MNB2 BJ and used the money to buy my Hobbistar 60 select.
Really, it's not that bad holding the radio, but I think I'll try the neck starp and see how that is.
