Default Do you wear a neck strap?

I was just curious about how many of you guys wear a neck strap on your Tx. I personally wear one, because It helps me to stay consistent with my techique. I have the strap adjusted to allow my arms to extend to a comfortable position, and they stay in the same position each time I fly. I even use it with my simulator, so when learning something new, it will have the exact same feel, with my heli. During the training stages, I was nervous and was choking up with my arms, without realizing it, but as soon as I noticed what I was doing, I extended my arms to stretch out my neck strap, and I imediately began to improve, because my techique was the same as what I learned on the sim.
