I'm back in the r/c hobby after a 10 year vacation. I'm gonna teach my 6 yr. old son how to fly using an Avistar. But it comes to my surprise and dismay that the inexpensive radio that came with the Avistar has a push button trainer switch. I hate to hold that darn thing in while my son is learning to fly, that will get old fast.

ok... here's my question,

What are they thinking when they decided to use a button that one has to hold in vs. putting a toggle switch that the instructor could just flip?

is a toggle switch that more expensive?

Anyone else annoyed by this?
